Trang 100 - ... to take command in a profession he had not willingly chosen, yet as his advice was of great authority with all the commanders, being always one in the council of war, and whose notable abilities they had still use of in their civil transactions, so he exposed his person to all action, travel, and hazard ; and by too forward engaging himself in this last, received a mortal shot by a musket, a little above the knee, of which he died in the instant...
Trang 21 - O Lord, thou knowest how busy I must be this day. If I forget thee, do not thou forget me.
