Стр. 63 - ... Those of meaner condition can only be men to one another ; and it were well if they would be so : but he that is highly raised and advanced above others hath the happy opportunity in his hands, if he have but the heart to make use of it, to be a kind of god to men. Let no man, then, of what birth, or rank, or quality soever, think it beneath him to serve God, and to be useful to the benefit and advantage of men.
Стр. 62 - ... contrary, they have so much the greater obligation, having the liberty and leisure to attend the good of others ; the higher our character and station is, we have the better opportunities of being publicly useful and beneficial ; and the heavier will our account be if we neglect these opportunities.

Стр. 37 - Beasts, birds and insects, even to the minutest and meanest of their kind, act with the unerring providence of instinct; man, the while, who possesses a higher faculty, abuses it, and therefore goes blundering on. They, by their unconscious and unhesitating obedience to the laws of nature, fulfil the end of their existence ; he, in wilful neglect of the laws of God, loses sight of the end of his.
