“I am Yali, and I would like to welcome you to Heaven. I hope you will enjoy your stay.”
He laughed heartily, as at a private joke. “Yes, I most certainly hope you do. After all, some of you may stay forever. It is a nice place, actually, one of those infinitely rare situations where one is rewarded commensurately to one’s efforts. Surely that is Heaven by any man’s definition?”

“Were I a king (God bless me) I should hate
My chaplains meddling with affairs of state”
"On Clergymen Preaching Politics" <!-- p. 84 -->
Miscellaneous Poems (1773)
