A pretty girl tumbled down the stage steps and nearly choked Betty with the fervency of her embrace.

I never pleaded with greater fervency for the Comforter, which our blessed Lord hath promised shall abide with us for ever.

There was a warmth and a fervency to my religious feelings the first year after my true hope which I do not find now and often sigh for; but I think my mind is more seriously determined for God than it was then, and that my principles are more fixed.

But neither the courage of these men, nor the fervency with which they preached and visited among the sick and dying, could so far recommend them to Will that he would set foot in what he called the steeple-houses; so on the Lord's Day we had to dispense with his attendance, and this troubled me; but on the other hand there was comfort in seeing how my poor sister rejoiced in the ministerings of these faithful men.
