Is it possible, 0 Lord, that there can be a soul which, after attaining to this state wherein Thou bestowest upon it the like graces and consolations, and wherein it understands that Thou delightest to be with it, can yet fall back and offend Thee after so many favours, and such great demonstrations of the love Thou bearest it, and of which there cannot be any doubt, because the effect of it is so visible?
All the world's bravery that delights our eyes Is but thy several liveries; Thou the rich dye on them bestowest; Thy nimble pencil paints the landscape as thou goest." Adieu, my kind nurse and sweet foster-mother, a long and a last adieu!
We at length returned to the house, where Miss Geddes showed me a small study, containing a little collection of books, in two separate presses. 'These, said she, pointing to the smaller press, 'will, if thou bestowest thy leisure upon them, do thee good; and these, pointing to the other and larger cabinet, 'can, I believe, do thee little harm.
When Pharaoh was about to make Joseph the ruler over Egypt, and it appeared that he was unacquainted with the seventy tongues which an Egyptian sovereign must know, the angel Gabriel came and taught him those languages, whereupon the angels spoke: "Blessed art Thou, O Lord, who graciously bestowest knowledge." 5.
Hee that carries it otherwise, either for fearefullnesse, or upon evill advice, is alwayes constraind to hold his sword drawne in his hand; nor ever can hee rely upon his subjects, there being no possibility for them, because of his daily and continuall injuries, to live in any safety: for his injuries should bee done altogether, that being seldomer tasted, they might lesse offend; his favours should bee bestowd by little, and little to the end they might keep their taste the better; and above all things a Prince must live with his subjects in such sort, that no accident either of good or evill can make him vary: for necessity comming upon him by reason of adversities, thou hast not time given thee to make advantage of thy cruelties; and the favours which then thou bestowest, will little help thee, being taken as if they came from thee perforce, and so yeeld no returne of thanks.
And she said to herself, without terror, even without regret, "I do not love, I never have loved, God." She looked into the book: "Unspeakable, indeed, is the sweetness of thy contemplation, which thou bestowest on them that love thee." The sweetness of thy contemplation! She remembered Androvsky's face looking at her out of the heart of the sun as they met for the first time in the blue country.
All majesty and glory, O my God, and all dominion and light and grandeur and splendour be unto Thee. Thou bestowest sovereignty on whom Thou willest and dost withhold it from whom Thou desirest. No God is there but Thee, the All-Possessing, the Most Exalted. Thou art He Who createth from naught the universe and all that dwell therein.

And if they remained in their chambers whilst thou art already awake, and comest and bestowest and distributest, how would thy proud modesty upbraid for it!
And being gone, said I, 'Master, of those twain I know not which is the more pitiable. And he laughed in my face, 'Behold thy justice, Bon Bec, said he. 'Thou railest on thy poor, good, within an ace of honest master, and bestowest alms on a "vopper." 'Vopper, said I, 'what is a vopper? 'why, a trull that feigns madness. That was one of us, that sham maniac, and wow but she did it clumsily.
O vanity, how short-lived are the pleasures thou bestowest! I was thy votary. Thou wast the god for whom I changed my religion. For thee I forsook my country and my throne. What compensation have I gained for all these sacrifices so lavishly, so imprudently made?
