I know it dries up running sores, and cures the rheumatism, but not with once bathing, as people now use it; and the drinking the water, I am told, will stop the flux.

Страница 112 - O'er-picturing that Venus, where we see The fancy outwork nature: on each side her Stood pretty dimpled boys, like smiling Cupids, With divers-colour'd fans, whose wind did seem To glow the delicate cheeks which they did cool, And what they undid, did. Agr: O, rare for Antony! Eno: Her gentlewomen, like the Nereides, So many mermaids, tended her i...
Страница 127 - ... what you say be true, every time we use the Church prayers, we offer the sacrifice of fools, and mock God to his face ; for this day you, and all the congregation, in my presence, prayed that God would forgive you all your sins, negligences, and ignorances : and you affirmed, in the presence of God, that he pardoneth and absolveth all them that truly repent, and unfeignedly believe the Gospel ; if he do not, you are a false witness and a deceiver of the people ; yea, and a contemner of the word...
