When he writes to Congreve he speaks of the fathers, and says: "Their's was the giant race before the flood." Farther on he says: "Our builders were with want of genius curst, The second temple was not like the first." Now Dryden may have been, as Macaulay said, an "illustrious renegade," but all his writing shows the influence of the language and the ideas of the King James version.
This will prevent our substituting contemplation in the place of action, and giving ourselves too much up to those religious meditations which were formerly recommended, in which we must not indulge to the neglect of the common duties of life: this will prevent our mistaking the gratification of an indolent temper for the Christian's disregard of fame; for, never let it be forgotten, we must deserve estimation, though we may not possess it, forcing men of the world to acknowledge, that we do not want their boasted spring of action to set us in motion; but that its place is better supplied to us by another, which produces all the good of their's without its evil; thus demonstrating the superiority of the principle which animates us, by the superior utility and excellence of its effects.
This renders them as black as it is possible to make themselves, so that their's very much resemble the faces of executed men boiled in tar. If the dead person was a grandee, to carry on the funeral ceremonies, they hire people to cry and lament over the dead man.
It is on the very self same miserable principle, that some have thought to atone for a life of injustice and rapine by the strictness of their religious observances. If the former class of men can plead the diligent discharge of their duties to their fellow-creatures, the latter will urge that of their's to God.
He was a most creditable man, and a grocer, that we had waled out for a captain; so I desired, having got a nod of assent from him, that Mr Oranger's name might be added to their's, as one of the committee. In like manner I did by all the rest whom we had previously chosen. Thus, in a manner, predisposing the public towards them for officers.
The produce of all the other mines which are known is insignificant, it is acknowledged, in comparison with their's; and the far greater part of their produce, it is likewise acknowledged, is annually imported into Cadiz and Lisbon.
Their's not to make reply, Their's not to reason why, Their's but to do even if it mean 'to die. Thus let us wage warfare. IV. The Relieving Guard.
"No, I did not go in." "That's queer. I thought you were going there. Where, then, did you go?" "Oh, I only walked around and said over French verbs. It's grown very chilly." "Yes. Miss Arran came in and opened a window. I felt so cold I wish people would let you have your room as you want it. They can swing their's wide open if they want to." She was lying on the bed.
Blessed are they who hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be filled. Blessed are the merciful: for they shall obtain mercy. Blessed are the pure in heart: for they shall see God. Blessed are the peace- makers: for they shall be called the children of God. Blessed are they which are persecuted for righteousness' sake: for their's is the kingdom of heaven.
"Yes, but don't you see, no matter what our prices are they are retail prices, and for the same reason their's are wholesale; the idiotic public loves to be fooled, and will fool itself if no one else takes the job. What are cartridges worth?" "Two dollars and ten cents per 1,000 for 22s." "Why, I can buy here in town for that!"
