Side 132 - About a quarter before nine, while he was describing the change which God works in the heart through faith in Christ, I felt my heart strangely warmed. I felt I did trust in Christ, Christ alone, for salvation; and an assurance was given me that He had taken away my sins, even mine, and saved me from the law of sin and death.
Side 249 - Oxford to him a dearer name shall be, Than his own mother university. Thebes did his green unknowing youth engage, He chooses Athens in his riper age.
Side 79 - He was much for liberty of conscience ; and being disgusted with the dry systematical way of those times, he studied to raise those who conversed with him to a nobler set of thoughts, and to consider religion as a seed of a deiform nature (to use one of his own phrases). In order to this, he set young students much on reading the ancient philosophers, chiefly Plato, Tully, and Plotin, and on considering the Christian religion as a doctrine sent from God, both to elevate and sweeten human nature...

Side 66 - A KING is a thing men have made for their own sakes, for quietness' sake. Just as in a family one man is appointed to buy the meat.
Side xviii - He was a scholar, and a ripe and good one: Exceeding wise, fair spoken, and persuading; Lofty and sour to them that loved him not; But to those men that sought him sweet as summer. And though he were unsatisfied in getting, Which was a sin, yet in bestowing, madam. He was most princely: ever witness for him Those twins of learning that he raised in you, Ipswich and Oxford!
Side 156 - There were Tory majorities in all the colleges ; there was the unquestioning satisfaction in the tutorial system, ie one man teaching everybody everything; the same belief that all knowledge was shut up between the covers of four Greek and four Latin books ; the same humdrum questions asked in the examination ; and the same arts of evasive reply.
