HISTORY UNITED NETHERLANDS, 1587 by Motley[#52][jm52v10.txt]4852

All business has been transacted with open doors

Beacons in the upward path of mankind

Been already crimination and recrimination more than enough

Casting up the matter "as pinchingly as possibly might be"

Disposed to throat-cutting by the ministers of the Gospel

During this, whole war, we have never seen the like

Even to grant it slowly is to deny it utterly

Evil is coming, the sooner it arrives the better

Fool who useth not wit because he hath it not

Guilty of no other crime than adhesion to the Catholic faith

Individuals walking in advance of their age

Never peace well made, he observed, without a mighty war

Rebuked him for his obedience

Respect for differences in religious opinions

Sacrificed by the Queen for faithfully obeying her orders

Succeeded so well, and had been requited so ill

Sword in hand is the best pen to write the conditions of peace

Their existence depended on war

They chose to compel no man's conscience

Torturing, hanging, embowelling of men, women, and children

Universal suffrage was not dreamed of at that day

Waiting the pleasure of a capricious and despotic woman

Who the "people" exactly were
