RISE OF THE DUTCH REPUBLIC, 1555-59 by Motley [#4][jm04v10.txt]4804

Consign to the flames all prisoners whatever (Papal letter)

Courage of despair inflamed the French

Decrees for burning, strangling, and burying alive

I would carry the wood to burn my own son withal

Inventing long speeches for historical characters

Let us fool these poor creatures to their heart's content

Petty passion for contemptible details

Promises which he knew to be binding only upon the weak

Rashness alternating with hesitation

These human victims, chained and burning at the stake
