RISE OF THE DUTCH REPUBLIC, 1578 by Motley[#31][jm31v10.txt]4831

Are apt to discharge such obligations--(by) ingratitude

Like a man holding a wolf by the ears

Local self-government which is the life-blood of liberty

No man ever understood the art of bribery more thoroughly

Not so successful as he was picturesque

Plundering the country which they came to protect

Presumption in entitling themselves Christian

Protect the common tranquillity by blood, purse, and life

Republic, which lasted two centuries

Throw the cat against their legs

Worship God according to the dictates of his conscience
