Página 7 - Nay, take my life and all; pardon not that. You take my house, when you do take the prop That doth sustain my house ; you take my life, When you do take the means whereby I live.
Página 8 - I have almost forgot the taste of fears : The time has been, my senses would have cool'd To hear a night-shriek ; and my fell of hair Would at a dismal treatise rouse, and stir, As life were in't : I have supp'd full with horrors ; Direness, familiar to my slaughterous thoughts, Cannot once start me.

'Sblood, do you think I am easier to be played on than a pipe? Call me what instrument you will, though you can fret me, you cannot play upon me.
Página 60 - Are not that thinking I, no more than they: This frame, compacted, with transcendent skill, Of moving joints obedient to my will; Nursed from the fruitful glebe, like yonder tree, Waxes and wastes; I call it mine, not me: New matter still the mouldering mass sustains, The mansion changed, the tenant still remains: And from the fleeting stream repaired by food, Distinct, as is the swimmer from the flood.
Página 63 - JEternus est et infinitus, omnipotens et omnisciens ; id est, durat ab seterno in seternum, et adest ab infinito in infinitum. — Non est aeternitas et infinitas, sed seternus et infinitus ; non est duratio et spatium, sed durat et adest. Durat semper, et adest ubique ; et existendo semper et ubique, durationem et spatium constituit.
