Page 273 - Offend her, and she knows not to forgive ; Oblige her, and she'll hate you while you live ; But die, and she'll adore you — then the bust And temple rise — then fall again to dust. Last night her lord was all that's good and great; A knave this morning, and his will a cheat.
Page 133 - The Father is made of none : neither created nor begotten. The Son is of the Father alone : not made, nor created, but begotten. The Holy Ghost is of the Father and of the Son : neither made, nor created, nor begotten, but proceeding.
Page 134 - One, not by conversion of the Godhead into flesh, but by taking of the Manhood into God; One altogether; not by confusion of Substance, but by unity of Person.
