Sample Sentences

  • Let us then feede his flocke with a trebble zeale, expressed in our prayer, preaching and living: Let us make it appeare to the consciences of all, that the top of our ambition is Gods glory: and that wee preferr the winning of soules, to the winning of the world.

[1664, Robert Boyle, Experiments and Considerations Touching Colours:]

[1699, John Evelyn, Acetaria. A Discourse of Sallets:]
