“Surely the mischief of hypocrisy can never be enough inveighed against. When religion is in request, it is the chief malady of the church, and numbers die of it; though because it is a subtle and inward evil, it be little perceived. It is to be feared there are many sick of it, that look well and comely in God's outward worship, and they may pass well in good weather, in times of peace; but days of adversity are days of trial.” WellsLooksMayLittlesEnoughDiesEvilChurchNumbersWorshipSickAdversityTrialsWeatherChiefsHypocrisySubtleInwardRequestMischiefMaladyGood Weather Author:Joseph Hall

“It is indeed a misfortune for a woman to be without beauty, as with men the eye is the chief arbiter of qualities in the sex. Her beauty is her capital--her worth in the market matrimonial depends upon it. With her the Virtues are less reverenced when unaccompanied by the Graces. The sex understand this very well; and hence they seek mainly to make captive the eye, knowing the mind and heart will follow as a matter of course.” MenMindWellsHeartMatterEyeCoursesSexWomenQualityKnowingVirtueGraceDependsChiefsMisfortunesHeart And MindCaptivesHer BeautyArbiter Author:Christian Nestell Bovee
