For my part, I have ever believed, and do now know, that there are witches.

The man without a navel still lives in me.

I can cure the gout or stone in some, sooner than Divinity, Pride, or Avarice in others.

I can hardly thinke there was any scared into Heaven; they go the surest way to Heaven who would serve God without a Hell; other Mercenaries, that crouch unto Him in feare of Hell, though they terme themselves servants, are indeed but the slaves of the Almighty.

A man may be in as just possession of the truth as of a city, and yet be forced to surrender.

Though it be in the power of the weakest arm to take away life, it is not in the strongest to deprive us of death.

As for those wingy mysteries in divinity, and airy subtleties in religion, which have unhinged the brains of better heads, they never stretched the pia mater of mine; methinks there be not impossibilities enough in Religion for an active faith.
