"It's the blessing of God himself that Paul should be in prison now, and torn and humbled by punishment, so that he may yet save his soul, and so other wicked men, these horrible chasers after women and lust, may have an example."
— Сам бог велел, чтобы Поль сейчас томился в тюрьме, пришибленный, униженный таким наказанием, пусть он хоть этим спасет свою душу, пусть это будет примером другим подлецам, которые гоняются за женщинами, за плотскими радостями.

- Ministers, sent forth to work his will, - in whose weakness the strength of the church shall be manifested-before whom shall be humbled the wisdom of Murray, and the dark strength of Morton.

He fell to musing by what process it could come to pass, that he could be humbled before all of them, indiscriminately- humbled by conviction.
Он глубоко задумался о том: "каким же это процессом может так произойти, что он наконец пред всеми ими уже без рассуждений смирится, убеждением смирится!

Да останься у меня эти десять тысяч фунтов, как бы мне лгали, как бы подло ползали и унижались передо мной те выскочки, которые, если бы не мои деньги, отшвырнули бы меня с презрением, как отшвыривают они ежедневно тех, кто лучше, чем они!

The utter misery and self-abandonment of the man appealed to her, and at the bottom of her heart lay the wicked feeling that he was humbled and brought low who had once humbled her.
