By the offers thus made by the unbaptized and rejected wonder-worker, light is thrown upon the conversion of S t Paul, and the double transformation of Saul into Paul, and of the sinner into the Saint, of the persecutor into the supporter, accounted for upon the ground of ordinary experience, and without aid of recourse to an instrument so rare and so expensive, as that which has received the denomination of a miracle.

    The catalogue of exemptions corresponded to the catalogue of pains. Dropped into the cup of life though replenished with pleasures to the utmost possible degree of fulness, a slight drop of pain suffices to give to the whole the taste of pain, drowning all taste of pleasure: with a slight sensation of the nature of that which is the consequence of a burn, every thing that goes by any such name as that of pleasure is all is incompatible.
