Pagina 38 - He bindeth up the waters in his thick clouds; and the cloud is not rent under them.
Pagina iv - I was infinitely pleased to find, among the works of this extraordinary man, a prayer of his own composing, which, for the elevation of thought, and greatness of expression, seems rather the devotion of an angel than a man.
