God tempers the Wind

I open my note to add, that Mr. Gutch (No. 14. p. 211.) will find, in Sterne’s *Sentimental Journey,—”God tempers the wind*,” said Maria, “to the shorn lamb.” The words which I have underlined are printed in Italics in my edition of the work (London, 12mo. 1790), which may indicate that they are quoted from some other author.
