Σελίδα 91 - I must endeavour to keep a margin in my book open, to add, here and there, a note in short-hand with my own hand. And so I betake myself to that course, which is almost as much as to see myself go into my grave : for which, and all the discomforts that will accompany my being blind, the good God prepare me ! SP May 31, 1669.
Σελίδα 518 - ... and liberties, to accompany him in his perambulation ; and most did so ; in which perambulation he would usually express more pleasant discourse than at other times, and would then always drop some loving and facetious observations to be remembered against the next year, especially by the boys and young people ; still inclining them, and all his present parishioners, to meekness, and mutual kindnesses and love; because love thinks not evil, but covers a multitude of infirmities.
Σελίδα 519 - MY mind to me a kingdom is ; Such perfect joy therein I find As far exceeds all earthly bliss That God or nature hath assigned ; Though much I want that most would have, Yet still my mind forbids to crave.
Σελίδα 91 - Journal, I being not able to do it any longer, having done now so long as to undo my eyes almost every time that I take a pen in my hand; and, therefore, whatever comes of it, I must forbear : and, therefore, resolve, from this time forward, to have it kept by my people in long-hand, and must be contented to set down no more than is fit for them and all the world to know...

The King and Court were here, it seems, and stopped the fire by blowing-up of the next house.
Σελίδα 194 - M'Clend, of Ferrinlea, in the county of Ross. He, the landlord, and I, were sitting in three chairs near the fire, and in the corner of the great chimney there were two islanders, who were that very night come to the house, and were related to the landlord. While the one of them was talking with Monro, I perceived the other to look oddly toward me.
Σελίδα 511 - Jilts ruled the state, and statesmen farces writ; Nay, wits had pensions, and young lords had wit; The fair sat panting at a courtier's play, And not a mask went unimproved away; The modest fan was lifted up no more, And virgins smiled at what they blushed before.
Σελίδα 287 - ... gratia nostra speciali, ac ex certa scientia et mero motu nostris, dedimus et concessimus, ac per presentes pro nobis...
Σελίδα 515 - More priz'd, than all those kingdoms were! For, when no healing art prevail'd, When cordials and elixirs fail'd, On your pale cheek he dropt the shower, Reviv'd you like a dying flower.
