More From Henry Fielding

God is alpha and omega in the great world: endeavor to make him so in the little world; make him thy evening epilogue and thy morning prologue; practice to make him thy last thought at night when thou sleepest, and thy first thought in the morning when thou awakest; so shall thy fancy be sanctified in the night, and thy understanding rectified in the day; so shall thy rest be peaceful, thy labors prosperous, thy life pious, and thy death glorious.
God Morning Night
If thy faith have no doubts, thou has just cause to doubt thy faith; and if thy doubts have no hope, thou hast just reason to fear despair; when therefore thy doubts shall exercise thy faith, keep thy hopes firm to qualify thy doubts; so shall thy faith be secured from doubts; so shall thy doubts be preserved from despair.
Faith Exercise Doubt
Thy husband is thy lord, thy life, thy keeper, thy head, thy sovereign; one that cares for thee, and for thy maintenance commits his body to painful labour both by sea and land, to watch the night in storms, the day in cold, whilst thou liest warm at home, secure and safe; and craves no other tribute at thy hands but love, fair looks and true obedience; too little payment for so great a debt.
Marriage Husband Home
The whole question of pornography seems to me a question of secrecy. without secrecy there would be no pornography. but secrecy and modesty are two utterly different things. secrecy has always an element of fear in it, amounting very often to hate. modesty is gentle and reserved. today, modesty is thrown to the winds, even in the presence of the grey guardians. but secrecy is hugged, being a vice in itself. and the attitude of the grey ones is: dear young ladies, you may abandon all modesty, so long as you hug your dirty little secret.
Attitude Hate Dirty
Come, and see the victories of the cross. christ's wounds are thy healings, his agonies thy repose, his conflicts thy conquests, his groans thy songs, his pains thine ease, his shame thy glory, his death thy life, his sufferings thy salvation.
Song Pain Healing
If thou neglectest thy love to thy neighbor, in vain thou professest thy love to god; for by thy love to god, the love to thy neighbor is begotten, and by the love to thy neighbor thy love to god is nourished.
Charity Neighbor Vain
