The grace of God is like a bullion mass of purest gold, and then Jesus Christ is the great ingot of that gold, and then Moses, and David, and Isaiah, and Hosea, and Paul, and Peter, and John are the inspired artists who have commission to take both bullion and ingot, and out of them to cut, and beat, and smelt, and shape, and stamp, and superscribe the promises, and then to issue the promises to pass current in the market of salvation like so many shekels, and pounds, and pence, and farthings, and mites, as the case may be.
In fact, on the morning of the 10th, Pope, besides 5000 cavalry, had 22,000 fresh troops in addition to those which had been defeated, and which he estimated at 5000 effectives, wherewith to bar the way to Culpeper. McDowell's second division, 10,000 strong, on the march from Fredericksburg, was not more than twenty mites east of Slaughter Mountain.
"Your Highnesses have set ten crowns, and one hundred, and five hundred crowns upon our heads, but never could find five hundred mites nor ten mites to keep our souls and bodies together. "Yet you have found means to live yourselves with pomp and luxury, far exceeding that of the great Emperor Charles and much surpassing the magnificence of your Highnesses' brothers, the emperor and the king."

Without the ne quid nimis, we cannot expect to reach perfection.
"Joseph," said the Squire, after reading the paper several times, to assure himself that his eyes did not deceive him, "it beats the widow's mites; she gave the Lord all she had, but you've given Him more than you ever had in all your life until to-day."

Only in consideration of the feelings of delicate independence existing in the mind of every refined female" I was sure she had got back to the card "we wish to contribute our mites in a secret and concealed manner, so as not to hurt the feelings I have referred to."
"Say not so, Dame," said Lester; "did I not send you but yesterday bread and money? and when do you ever look up at the Hall without obtaining relief?"

Ye think as much of your doits and mites, as if ye stripped yourselves of a comfort to give it to us.
Just think of that tender child washing Up after their nasty doings! "I shivered. "'But that wasn't the worst, miss not by a long way. There was a pair here from the colonies, or so they gave out with two children, a boy and gel, the eldest scarce six. Poor mites! "'Why, what happened? "'They beat those children, miss your blood would boil! and starved, and tortured 'em, it's my belief.
