Pagina 511 - This is owing to you, for you put it into my head by the question you put to me at Chalfont, which before I had not thought of.
Pagina 225 - They that see thee shall narrowly look upon thee, and consider thee, saying, Is this the man that made the earth to tremble, that did shake kingdoms; that made the world as a wilderness, and destroyed the cities thereof; that opened not the house of his prisoners?
