HISTORY UNITED NETHERLANDS, 1605-07 by Motley[#78][jm78v10.txt]4878

A penal offence in the republic to talk of peace or of truce

Accepting a new tyrant in place of the one so long ago deposed

As if they were free will not make them free

As neat a deception by telling the truth

Cargo of imaginary gold dust was exported from the James River

Delay often fights better than an army against a foreign invader

Diplomacy of Spain and Rome--meant simply dissimulation

Draw a profit out of the necessities of this state

England hated the Netherlands

Friendly advice still more intolerable

Haereticis non servanda fides

He who confessed well was absolved well

Insensible to contumely, and incapable of accepting a rebuff

Languor of fatigue, rather than any sincere desire for peace

Much as the blind or the deaf towards colour or music

Subtle and dangerous enemy who wore the mask of a friend

Word peace in Spanish mouths simply meant the Holy Inquisition
