This is a p'int on which Christians may well boast, if boasting can be set down for Christianity in any manner or form, which I rather think it cannot.
C’est un point dont les chrétiens peuvent être orgueilleux, si l’orgueil convient à un chrétien, en quelque situation que ce soit, ce dont je suis très-enclin à douter.

I shall not boast of what I can do, under torment, for I've never been tried, and no man can say till he has been; but I'll do my endivours not to disgrace the people among whom I got my training.
Je ne me vanterai pas de ce que je puis faire dans les tourments, car je n’ai jamais été mis à l’épreuve, et personne ne doit parler auparavant ; mais je ferai tous mes efforts pour ne pas faire honte à la nation parmi laquelle j’ai été élevé.

All the same, however, I've worked with great people, and cleverly, too, though I don't want to boast about it, and never asked for a big reward.
On a tout de même travaillé avec du beau monde, et délicatement, on s'en vante, sans demander des mille et des cents. On sait ce qu'on vaut.

They do boast, but then that is a gift from natur'; and it's sinful to withstand nat'ral gifts.
Oui, ils aiment à se vanter ; mais c’est un don de la nature, et l’on ferait mal de ne pas se servir des dons qu’elle nous a faits.

Seitz ne disposait que de fermiers, d’employés et de demi-sang, et pourtant, il fallut Botha, Smuts et une douzaine de généraux pour le réduire?

But we had no boast to make, no taunt to urge, nothing before our minds but the fixed dark purpose of murdering one another!
