True, there might be a gloomier spectacle in the universe than hell itself; and for this very reason it is, as we have seen, that God has ordained hell itself, that such ...

In spite of the droop and lines of age (for Horace Bradford's mother must have been quite seventy), ...

Perhaps his gentle spirit might at length have sunk under this treatment, but providence interposed in his behalf; and, by seemingly ...
