Seite 431 - For it is impossible for those who were once enlightened, and have tasted of the heavenly gift, and were made partakers of the Holy Ghost, And have tasted the good word of God, and the powers of the world to come, If they shall fall away, to renew them again unto repentance; seeing they crucify to themselves the Son of God afresh, and put him to an open shame.

Seite 324 - ... is seldom desirable; it is but the same thing over again, or worse ; so many more nights and days, summers and winters ; a repetition of the same pleasures, but with less pleasure and relish every day; a return of the same or greater pains and trouble, but with less strength and patience to bear them.
Seite 99 - ... happiness. But when I got a little on, I found there was no meaning in all these words, or if any, it was a bad meaning. Eternal misery, perhaps, only meant a moment's disappointment about a bit of a letter ; and everlasting happiness meant two people talking nonsense together for five minutes.
