Page 232 - The disciple is not above his master, nor the servant above his lord. It is enough for the disciple that he be as his master, and the servant as his lord.
Page 426 - ... be required of any one, than what might have been equitably expected of him, from the circumstances in which he was placed; and not what might have been expected, had he been placed in other circumstances : ie in Scripture language, that every man shall be accepted according to what he had, not according to what he had not*.
