I Am Giving An Account Of What

In Trouble To Be Troubled, Is To Have Your Trouble Doubled.

I Have Since Often Observed, How Incongruous And Irrational The Common Temper Of Mankind Is, Especially Of Youth ... That They Are Not Ashamed To Sin, And Yet Are Ashamed To Repent; Not Ashamed Of The Action For Which They Ought Justly To Be Esteemed Fools, But Are Ashamed Of The Returning, Which Only Can Make Them Be Esteemed Wise Men.

Not The Man In The Moon, Not The Groaning-board, Not The Speaking Of Friar Bacon's Brazen- Head, Not The Inspiration Of Mother Shipton, Or The Miracles Of Dr. Faustus, Things As Certain As Death And Taxes, Can Be More Firmly Believed.

Alas The Church Of England! What With Popery On One Hand, And Schismatics On The Other, How Has She Been Crucified Between Two Thieves!

Vice Came In Always At The Door Of Necessity, Not At The Door Of Inclination.
