They fancy they are clever, but they know not their left hand from their right; they raise their hands all day and call, but know not to whom.
To him his work was spiritual life, and hence, though the most active preacher and writer of his day, he was like Carey in this, that his working day was twice as long as that of most men, and he could spend half of his time in the frequent journeys all over the kingdom to raise funds, in repeated campaigns in London to secure toleration, and in abundant letters to the missionaries.

We have heard none of this lesson for fourteen years past.
It is her way thus to revile all who come anigh her. She said she had lived through a score of such scares, and would snap her fingers at all the comets of the heavens at once.

Of all the nobles of Britain none was so strong as Rohand, Earl of Warwick, Rockingham, and Oxford.

The creatures swung their puffy hands, which looked like boxing-gloves, and pounded the three travelers as hard as they could, on all sides.
