DUTCH REPUBLIC, INTRODUCTION I. by Motley [#1][jm01v10.txt]4801

A country disinherited by nature of its rights

A pleasantry called voluntary contributions or benevolences

Annual harvest of iniquity by which his revenue was increased

Batavian legion was the imperial body guard

Beating the Netherlanders into Christianity

Bishop is a consecrated pirate

Brethren, parents, and children, having wives in common

For women to lament, for men to remember

Gaul derided the Roman soldiers as a band of pigmies

Great science of political equilibrium

Holland, England, and America, are all links of one chain

Long succession of so many illustrious obscure

Others go to battle, says the historian, these go to war

Revocable benefices or feuds

Taxation upon sin

The Gaul was singularly unchaste
