And some will prig with Him about their lives; and if the swearing of a sinful oath, the subscribing to an iniquitous bond, or denying of His cause, will save their lives, they will not lose them. Oh, what sad prigging is this! Oh, be ashamed of it. Will ye lay all at his feet, and count it your honour and joy that He dispose of the same as He pleaseth?
The sausages in that country were generally made of cooked meat flavoured with garlic and cayenne pepper, so that they were fit for eating at all times without cooking. We only laughed at her, so she reported us to our major, who immediately came to our room and said, "Then you are up to your prigging tricks again," and asked the woman how much the sausages were worth.
"And instead o' the raging I was prigging for," the soft-hearted maid told her friends, "she gave me a flannel petticoat!" Indeed, Miss Ailie had taken to giving away her possessions at this time, like a woman who thought she was on her death-bed.
'Yes; but you'd have to move, and if we took an inventory, I think we'd find that Mr. Beeton has been prigging little things out of the rooms here and there. They don't look as full as they used. 'Never mind, we'll let him have them. The only thing I'm particularly anxious to take away is that picture I used you for when you used to swear at me.
If their worldly employments be throng, they will neglect the worship in their families, and prayer in secret. Others, if they keep any family worship, it is in the evening: ordinarily they are impatient, and haste to an end in it: and neglect it in the morning altogether. Oh, what a sad prigging is this. Some prig with him about their relations.
"But there is no novelty in this; it is only blackmail after all." "I never said it wasn't; but it is blackmailing perfected into a system." As Toto made this reply he hammered on the table, calling for more drink. "But," remarked Polyte, with an air of disappointment, "you don't get chances every day, and the business is often a precious poor one. You can't always be seeing chaps prigging boots."
He would rather give up his day's wage, the coat off his back, the cap from his head anything than have to go through this shameful ordeal. He looked back: could he not get out by the wicket at which he entered, at the other end of the docks? 'Come on, Scottie; you ain't been prigging oranges, eh? said one of his mates, laughing at him.

We've had enough of this prigging business, and I'm sick of it!" No one attempted to reply. "Well," continued the dux, "I'm going straight off to old Welsby to tell him, and I won't keep the key of that place. Of course it makes me look as if I were the thief, and I won't stand it any longer." The speaker turned on his heel and strode off in the direction of the house.
It'll be more worth your while than any prigging or bagging you've ever yet done." "Well, I'm blowed!" The man's tone was puzzled; surprise, suspicion gleamed from the bloodshot eyes.
