- "There cannot in nature
be a greater contradiction than my thoughts and actions. I persue
the pleasures of the world at the same time that I know them
to be fleeting and worthless. I, am uneasy with my faults without
correcting them; and in love with my duty without practinsing
it. I act contrary to my highest reason, and turn rebel to the
authority of my own judgement. It is impossible to account why
these things are so. However I do not despair of conquering these
vexations, by the grace of that god who will be found of him
that seek him."

- "Fresh in the morn,
the summer rose hangs ere' tis noon; we scarce injoy a balmy
gift. But morn the pleasure gone."
