RISE OF THE DUTCH REPUBLIC, 1577 by Motley[#27][jm27v10.txt]4827

A good lawyer is a bad Christian

Claimed the praise of moderation that their demands were so few

Confused conferences, where neither party was entirely sincere

Customary oaths, to be kept with the customary conscientiousness

Deadliest of sins, the liberty of conscience

I regard my country's profit, not my own

Made no breach in royal and Roman infallibility

Neither wished the convocation, while both affected an eagerness

Our pot had not gone to the fire as often

Peace, in reality, was war in its worst shape

Those who "sought to swim between two waters"

Volatile word was thought preferable to the permanent letter
