Paganism attributes the creation of the world to blind chance.

The churchyard is the market place where all things are rated at their true value, and those who are approaching it talk of the world and its vanities with a wisdom unknown before.

Do not waste your time on light, weak, milk­toast ministries and books

To live among such excellent helps as our libraries afford, to have so many silent wise companions whenever we please.

Keep up your conjugal love in a constant heat and vigor. Love will suppress wrath: you cannot have a bitter mind upon small provocations, against those that you dearly love.

Above all be much in secret prayer and meditation. By this you will fetch the heavenly fire that must kindle your sacrifice: remember you cannot decline and neglect your duty to your own hurt alone, many will be losers by it as well as you.

What we most value, we shall think no pains too great to gain.
