A41668And how canst thou think that thou hast a righteous Soul in thee, if thou take delight in uttering, or hearing filthy speeches?
A41668And how many rich men who have had fair Revenues left them by their Fathers, have in a short time bezel''d all away by Drinking?
A41668And how many, who though they have lived to old age, yet have been more hardened against Repentance, than in their Youth?
