One of the men and two of the wives are terrible swearers. Some of the children are already singing bad songs learnt from them. Tuesday, September 1. This evening we heard that two whales were to be seen within the kelp. We went on to the cliffs to look and could clearly see, about a quarter of a mile away, an old one playing with its calf. Andrew Swain and his wife spent the evening with us.
Intercourse with such men, and the perusal of the writings of certain eminent Non-conformists, had the effect to abate, in some degree, his strong attachment to the Episcopal formula and polity. He began to doubt the rightfulness of making the sign of the cross in baptism, and to hesitate about administering the sacrament to profane swearers and tipplers.
At first Cambyses looked angrily at him and his rent garments, and then asked with a bitter smile; "What do you want?" "Victory to the king! Your poor servant and uncle has come to entreat his ruler's mercy." "Then rise and go! You know that I have no mercy for perjurers and false swearers. 'Tis better to have a dead son than a dishonorable one."
And he makes their dreams, that Jude calls so, their principle and errors in life and doctrine; you may read of them in that whole chapter, where they are called cursed children, and so by consequence such as fear not God. They fear not God, who are sorcerers, adulterers, false swearers, and that oppress the hireling of his wages.
"Swearers are swift, sayd lyttle John, As the wind blows over the hill; For if it be never so loud this night, To-morrow it may be still." And so it went up hill and down till a stone interrupted the line, when a new verse was chosen. "His shoote it was but loosely shot, Yet flewe not the arrowe in vaine, For it met one of the sheriffe's men, And William-a-Trent was slaine."
My landlady, who was pretty and young, dressed like a lady and avoided patois like a weakness, commonly addressed her child in the language of a drunken bully. And of all the swearers that I ever heard, commend me to an old lady in Gondet, a village of the Loire. I was making a sketch, and her curse was not yet ended when I had finished it and took my departure.
In 1655, that being the brightest period of the Commonwealth, he thus 'sighs' over the state of his country: 'There are but a few places in the Bible but there are threatenings against one sinner or another; against drunkards, swearers, liars, proud persons, strumpets, whoremongers, covetous, railers, extortioners, thieves, lazy persons.
Nor less so "The Awful Judgment of God upon Swearers, as exemplified in the case of John Stiles, who Dropped down dead after swearing a Great Oath; and on stripping the unhappy man they found 'Swear not at all' written on the tail of his shirt!" Twice had Mrs.
Swearers had been changed to men of prayer and praise, and drunkards had become sober men "Through that little book, I suppose?" asked Bones quickly. "Not altogether, but partly by means of it." "Have you another copy?" asked George Aspel. The man at once produced the booklet, and Aspel purchased it. "What do you mean," he said, "by its being only `partly' the means of saving men from drink?"
Many a rascally captain has made up with his crew, for hard usage, by allowing them duff twice a week on the passage home. On board some vessels Sunday is made a day of instruction and of religious exercises; but we had a crew of swearers, from the captain to the smallest boy; and a day of rest, and of something like quiet, social enjoyment, was all that we could expect.
