School ‘implied…

…an entrance into a new life’

‘my tongue pronounced words…

…without my will’

‘Better a dinner of herbs where love is…

…than a stalled ox and hatred therewith’

‘I desired for liberty…

…for liberty I gasped’

‘women feel…

…just as men feel’

‘It is my spirit…

…that addresses your spirit’

‘I could not… see God for His creature…

…of whom I had made an idol’

‘He made me love him…

…without looking at me’

‘Perfect congeniality…

…of tastes’

‘If I join St John…

…I abandon half myself’

‘I am independent, sir, as well as rich…

…I am my own mistress’

‘I served both for…

…his prop and guide’

‘Reader, I…

…married him’

‘supremely…

…blest’
