After that day, when Eli died and I looked into the empty sanctuary, could I hesitate to believe and obey the Lord's word? The Lord had no mind that the Philistines, who were His scourge for the Israelites, should vaunt themselves over Him, or should believe that of their own strength they had prevailed. Wonderful is He!
It seemed, while I read, as if there passed before me some convulsion of Nature, a storm, an earthquake, outcries of rage, of scorn, of despair, a despot's vehemence of will, a rebel's scoff at authority; yet, ever and anon, some swell of lofty thought, some burst of passionate genius, abrupt variations from the vaunt of superb defiance to the wail of intense remorse.
I conjure thee, by the habit which thou dost wear, by the name thou dost inherit by the knighthood thou dost vaunt by the honour of thy mother by the tomb and the bones of thy father I conjure thee to say, are these things true?" "Answer her, brother," said the Grand Master, "if the Enemy with whom thou dost wrestle will give thee power."
To make a vaunt of being poor was another of the incidents of his splenetic state, though this may have had the design in it of showing that he ought to be rich; just as he would publicly laud and decry the Barnacles, lest it should be forgotten that he belonged to the family.
It was not true that Allan and Gourlay were together at all times. Gourlay was merely boasting as young blades are apt to do of acquaintance with older roisterers. They think it makes them seem men of the world. And in his desire to vaunt his comradeship with Allan, John failed to see that Allardyce was scooping him out like an oyster. "Ay man," resumed the Deacon; "he's a hearty fellow, Jock.
If true glory were to consist in the possession of such perishable things, then the earth on which ye walk must needs vaunt itself over you, because it supplieth you, and bestoweth upon you, these very things, by the decree of the Almighty. In its bowels are contained, according to what God hath ordained, all that ye possess. From it, as a sign of His mercy, ye derive your riches.
Let such a man be assured of this, that such as we are by word in our letters when absent, such also will we be in deed when we are present. For we will not presume to put ourselves on the level, or compare ourselves with some who vaunt themselves; but they measuring themselves by themselves, and comparing themselves with themselves, have no understanding.
If we lose these, we are conquered, fallen indeed. In vain may France show and vaunt her diplomatic skill, and brave troops: so long as our manners and principles remain sound, there is no danger.
Thy crowding warriors proved thy shield, They saved and dragged thee from the field; By them unrescued then, wouldst thou Have lived to vaunt thy prowess now?"
"I know," you say, "many very distinguished men who are just the same." You cite the case of some who are admirable tea-party oracles, but who cannot utter half a dozen sentences in the tribune. Caroline should keep watch over herself; you vaunt silence as the surest method of being witty. In society, a good listener is highly prized.
