Let me rejoice in the light which Thou hast imparted, let me serve Thee with active zeal and humble confidence, and wait with patient expectation for the time in which the soul which Thou receivest shall be satisfied with knowledge. Grant this, O LORD, for JESUS CHRIST'S sake. Amen. BOSWELL. Pr. and Med. p. 219. Life of Johnson, p. 599.
"Thou receivest more advantage," replied Zadig, "from the waters of the Red Sea, which carry thy merchandise to the Indies. Why may not it be as ancient as the stars? and if thou adorest what is placed at a distance from thee, thou oughtest to adore the land of the Gangarides, which lies at the extremity of the earth." "No," said Setoc, "the brightness of the stars command my adoration."
"So, then, Kama," said the prince, "Thou receivest Assyrians at thy villa?" "That man is a great magnate, Sargon, a relative of King Assar," answered Kama; "he has brought five talents to our goddess." "And them wilt repay him, Kama?" jeered the heir. "And since he is such a bountiful magnate, the Phoenician gods will not send thee death in punishment."
Thou hast shown me the direct road to truth, bringing me out of darkness and the shadow of death, and, changing the course of my feet from the slippery, deadly, crooked and winding pathway, hast ministered to me great and marvellous blessings, whereof speech would fail to recount the exceeding excellence. Great be the gifts that thou receivest at God's hand, on account of me who am small!

If I die, and thou receivest sure news of my death, slay me the three prisoners." "What! The friar and all!" "Is his blood redder than any other man's? It seems to me thou art afraid of the Pope's gray regiment." "Nay, I like not to slay priests and friars. It brings a man ill luck if he meddle with those." "Then I must appoint Thibault.
Thou receivest thy fortune from another's hand the crime is not attached to the inheritance. Here I solemnly abjure an inheritance which must ever remind me of a parent's guilt! PRESIDENT. Hear me, sirrah! and do not incense me! Were you left to your own direction you would crawl through life in the dust. FERDINAND. Oh! better, father, far, far better, than to crawl about a throne! So!
I know that I deserve not to see thy face; yet, unless I see thee, I will not return. Thou who receivest beasts, why repellest thou a man? I have sought, and I have found. I knock, that it may be opened to me: which if I win not, here will I die before thy gate. Surely thou shalt at least bury my corpse." "Persisting thus he spoke, and stood there fixed: To whom the hero shortly thus replied."
