Book Description

Excerpt from Hogg's Weekly Instructor, 1849, Vol. 2 All things whatsoever may be divided into two sorts those that are, and those that are not in our power. Of the former sort are our opinions and notions of things, our affections, our desires, and our aversions; and, in short, all our actions of every kind are in our power. Of the latter, are the body, riches, glory, magistracies, and, in a word, whatever is not our own proper action - asap. L. The things in our own power, are in their own nature free, not capable of being countermanded or hindered but those that are not in our power are feeble, servile, liable to opposition, and not ours but mother's-chap. 2. Remember, then, that if you mistake those things for free which nature hath made servile, and fancy that your own which is indeed another's, you shall be sure to meet with many hindrances and disappointments, much trouble and great distractions, and continually be finding fault both with gods and men - Chap. 3.
