He looked upon her frozen attitude, so discouraging for a lover to behold, and recoiled from the thoughts which it suggested. "To me?" he asked. "Are you coming to me, Esther?" "I want you to take me away," she repeated, with weary impatience. "Take me away take me away from here." The situation was not sufficiently defined.
This is thy case, wherefore say, "Stand away, devil, Christ calls me; stand away, unbelief, Christ calls me; stand away, all ye my discouraging apprehensions, for my Saviour calls me to him to receive of his mercy." 'Wherefore, since Christ says come, let the angels make a lane, and let all men give place, that the Jerusalem sinner may come to Jesus Christ for mercy. How characteristic is this of the peculiarly striking style of Bunyan!
They had both the elderly man's habit of early rising, and they usually found themselves together waiting impatiently for the cup of coffee, ingenuously bad, which they served on the Cupania not earlier than half past six, in strict observance of a rule of the line discouraging to people of their habits.
"Begin at Jerusalem," is thy call and authority to come; wherefore up and shoulder it, man; say, Stand away, devil, Christ calls me; stand away unbelief, Christ calls me; stand away all ye my discouraging apprehensions, for my Saviour calls me to him to receive of his mercy.

To sneak ashore by night was to increase the danger of resistance and to minimise the authority of the attack.
To any one who looked beyond the first impression of good-breeding and a well-cut coat, a second closer glance was discouraging. Mr. Gresley's suspicious eye and thin, compressed lips hinted that both fanatic and saint were fighting for predominance in the kingdom of that pinched brain, the narrowness of which the sloping forehead betokened with such cruel plainness.
Furiously he began scooping out the water. After a long, discouraging fight the boat was bailed clear. "We've got to run before it while I rig another drug," said Spurling. "Keep her as she is." In the stern stood a five-gallon can of gasolene, one of the few things that had not been washed overboard when the dory filled.

This change of commander was not on my suggestion. All this news was very discouraging. All of it must have been known by the enemy before it was by me.
The invincible ignorance in which they are kept in this respect, far from discouraging them, does but excite their curiosity; instead of putting them on guard against their imagination, this ignorance makes them positive, dogmatic, imperious, and causes them to quarrel with all those who oppose doubts to the reveries which their brains have brought forth.
