I was taken from the court, not the cloister, to fill this station; from the palace of Caesar, not the school of the Saviour.

In reality, however, it is quite otherwise with you: while you pretend to read with rapture the canon of your law in Nature, you want something quite the contrary, you extraordinary stage-players and self-deluders!
He bent down, stroked her cheek and smiled. 'Caterina, that is foolish, said Lady Cheverel. 'I wish you would leave off those stage-players' antics. She jumped up, arranged the music on the harpsichord, and then, seeing the Baronet and his lady seated at picquet, quietly glided out of the room.

I expected a Socratic dialogue after such a display of dialectic, and bowed myself out. 'They were right.
Richard Baxter was born at the village of Eton Constantine, in 1615. He received from officiating curates of the little church such literary instruction as could be given by men who had left the farmer's flail, the tailor's thimble, and the service of strolling stage-players, to perform church drudgery under the parish incumbent, who was old and well-nigh blind.
