1. From Contemplation:
Patriotic/traditional example – “How Adam sighed to see his progeny, clothed all in his black sinful livery, who neither guilt nor yet the punishment could fly.”
Emotion/non-traditional view example – “By birth more noble than those creatures all…”
In this example, we know that traditional views are that man is born a sinful creature, and that is what she appears to say in the excerpt about Adam’s progeny, yet further in she makes the statement about how humans are by birth more noble than the animals on earth.
From Before the Birth of One of Her Children:
Patriotic/traditional example – “What nature would, God grant to yours and you…”
Emotion/non-traditional example – “All things within this fading world hath end…” …show more content…
“…and returned like a dog to his vomit, and went on in the ways of sin.” He is very clearly saying that while we cannot allow ours to become so pious we alienate everyone, neither can we set aside our spirituality and let sin overtake us.
Examples of metaphors:
On page 182 he states, “…ejaculatory prayer…” which implies an immense release of prayer for his soul. Also in page 182 he says, “…to grow in grace…” which I believe refers to how our spiritual self grows stronger and wiser when we not only see the grace God has given us, but show that grace to others. On page 179, he states, “I had a variety of concerns and exercises about my soul from childhood,” and I feel this is a metaphor implying he had mental meditations from his time pursuing the divine as a child but also had concerns from that same period.
3. I was surprised at the logic and rhetoric shown by the transcript. In a way it was almost depressing because we’ve lost that in our current age. It reads as if each spoken word is measured and thought out with care, versus today when we are so quick to speak so much that means so
