RISE OF THE DUTCH REPUBLIC, 1561-62 by Motley [#7][jm07v10.txt]4807

Affecting to discredit them

An inspiring and delightful recreation (auto-da-fe)

Arrested on suspicion, tortured till confession

Inquisition of the Netherlands is much more pitiless

Inquisition was not a fit subject for a compromise

Made to swing to and fro over a slow fire

Orator was, however, delighted with his own performance

Philip, who did not often say a great deal in a few words

Scaffold was the sole refuge from the rack

Ten thousand two hundred and twenty individuals were burned

Torquemada's administration (of the inquisition)

Two witnesses sent him to the stake, one witness to the rack
