Retain The Wind By Compressing The Belly.

It Seems To Me To Be The Best Proof Of An Evangelical Disposition, That Persons Are Not Angry When Reproached, And Have A Christian Charity For Those That Ill Deserve It.

I Put Up With This Church, In The Hope That One Day It Will Become Better, Just As It Is Constrained To Put Up With Me In The Hope That I Will Become Better.

Bidden Or Unbidden, God Is Present.

Retain The Wind By Compressing The Belly.

In Short, No Association Or Alliance Can Be Happy Or Stable Without Me. People Can't Long Tolerate A Ruler, Nor Can A Master His Servant, A Maid Her Mistress, A Teacher His Pupil, A Friend His Friend Nor A Wife Her Husband, A Landlord His Tenant, A Soldier His Comrade Nor A Party-goer His Companion, Unless They Sometimes Have Illusions About Each Other, Make Use Of Flattery, And Have The Sense To Turn A Blind Eye And Sweeten Life For Themselves With The Honey Of Folly.
