. . . He Who

That Which Has Not A Real Excellency And Value In It Self, Entertains No Longer Than The Giddy Humour Which Recommended It To Us Holds.

None Of God's Creatures Absolutely Consider'd Are In Their Own Nature Contemptible; The Meanest Fly, The Poorest Insect Has Its Use And Vertue.

The Design Of Rhetoric Is To Remove Those Prejudices That Lie In The Way Of Truth, To Reduce The Passions To The Government Of Reasons; To Place Our Subject In A Right Light, And Excite Our Hearers To A Due Consideration Of It.

How Can You Be Content To Be In The World Like Tulips In A Garden, To Make A Fine Show, And Be Good For Nothing.

The Steps To Folly As Well As Sin Are Gradual, And Almost Imperceptible, And When We Are Once On The Decline, We Go Down Without Taking Notice On't.
