   • 1806, Joshua Pickersgill, The Three Brothers: A Romance‎, John Stockdale, page 128:

     Such is the almightiness of habit, that it can overcome the original disposition, even when it be fortified by the force of precept; then how much more easily so unprincipled a mind as the Chevalier's?

   • 1811, Joseph Bellamy, The Works of the Rev. Joseph Bellamy, D.D.: In Three Volumes‎, Stephen Dodge, page 520:

     They rejoice in his almightiness and infinite wisdom, they exult in his supremacy and absolute sovereignty, and are ravished in a view of his universal government, because it is absolutely perfect.

   • 1836, William Frend De Morgan, The North American Review: Volume XLII‎, O. Everett, page 468:

     The mere assumption of a doubt for the purpose of the inquiry, is painful to him, for it presents to his mind illimitable space, dark, desolate and blank; void of the benignity, the almightiness and the perfect intelligence of the Supreme, and his own existence as a transient flame, and his moral constitution and sense of obligation and duty merely as machinery vainly to regulate his actions to which there are to be no corresponding consequences.
