So likewise, if one knoed one could honnestly, as your Honner says, and as of the handy-work of God, in one twelvemonth But, I shall grow impertinent to such a grate man. And hereafter may do for that, as she turnes out: for one mought be loth to part with her, mayhap, so verry soon too; espessially if she was to make the notable landlady your Honner put into my head.
Poor dear worthy old Minister, you too are gone, but not forgotten. How could I have had these thoughts? How could I have enjoyed these scenes? and how described them? but for you! Innocent, pure, and simple-minded man, how fond you were of nature, the handy-work of God, as you used to call it. How full you were of poetry, beauty, and sublimity! And what do I not owe to you?
Is it what you think God will approve? Will it make you wiser, or better, or happier to feel that you are giving pain to a poor creature? Having now, I think, mentioned all the "four-footed beasts" about which I had any thing particular to say, I will pass on to another and still more beautiful portion of God's handy-work the birds.

I have no evidence but myself, said the woman. 'I will swear it all write down my testimony write it down, I say we shall hang side by side, my brave lord all your own handy-work, my gentle husband.
If the heavens do not declare to you the glory of God, nor the firmament show you His handy-work, then our poor arguments about them will not show it. "The eye can only see that which it brings with it the power of seeing." We can only reassert that we see design everywhere, and that the vast majority of the human race in every age and clime has seen it.
Another marred and degraded wretch called, with clenched hand "Where is my money, my good name, my all?" You have robbed me of every thing!" By his side was a poor drunkard, supporting the pale form of his sick wife, while their starving children stood weeping before them "Look at us?" said he. "It is your handy-work!"
"Waxen dolls!" interrupted Obed; "it is profanation, in the view of the arts, to liken the miserable handy-work of the dealers in wax to the pure models of antiquity!" "It is profanation in the eyes of the Lord," retorted the old man, "to liken the works of his creatur's, to the power of his own hand."
