Do you never twist a story so as to make it tell a little better for yourself, and a little worse for your neighbor, than truth and justice warrant? Bragwell. Why, as to that matter, all this is only natural. Worthy. Ay, much too natural to be right, I doubt. Well, now we have got to the last of the commandments. Bragwell.
To the forlorn and destitute, death is not so terrible as it is to him who sits at ease in his possessions, and who fears that this night his soul shall be required of him." Mr. Bragwell felt this remark more deeply than his daughter meant he should. He wept, and bade her proceed. "I followed my departed parents to the same grave, and wept over them, but not as one who had no hope.
Worthy, who was inclined to hope that her heart might be as much changed for the better as her circumstances were altered for the worse; and he valued the goods of fortune so little, and contrition of soul so much, that he began to think the change on the whole might be a happy one. The boy then sprung from his mother, and ran to Bragwell, saying, "Do be good to mammy." Mrs.
But I advise you to read the sermon on the mount, that you may see the full meaning of them. Bragwell. What! do you want to make me believe there are two ways of keeping the commandments? Worthy. No; but there may be two ways of understanding them. Bragwell.
He was beginning to express his disapprobation, when they were told dinner was on the table. They went in, and were soon seated. All was mirth and good cheer. Every body agreed that no one gave such hearty dinners as Mr. Bragwell. Nothing was pitiful where he was master of the feast.

How many thousands are in my condition, taking to themselves all the credit of their prosperity, instead of giving God the glory! heaping up riches to their hurt, instead of dealing their bread to the hungry! O! let those who hear of the Bragwell family, never say that vanity is a little sin.
Worthy, "are you the better because the doctor has ordered it merely, or because you have also taken it?" "What a foolish question," cried Bragwell; "why to be sure the doctor might be the best doctor, and his physic the best physic in the world; but if it stood forever on the shelf, I could not expect to be cured by it. My doctor is not a mountebank. He does not pretend to cure by a charm.
Religion keeps back her cordials till the patient is lowered and emptied emptied of self, Mr. Bragwell. If you had a wound, it must be examined and cleansed, ay, and probed too, before it would be safe to put on a healing plaster.
Bragwell was staggered, and refused to comply; but his wife told him he must not be shabby to such a gentleman as Squire Squeeze; for that she heard on all sides such accounts of their grandeur, their feasts, their carriages, and their liveries, that she and her husband ought even to deny themselves comforts to oblige such a generous son, who did all this in honor of their daughter; besides, if he did not send the money soon, they might be obliged to lay down their coach, and then she would never be able to show her face again.
