LIFE OF JOHN OF BARNEVELD, 1614-17 by Motley[#93][jm93v10.txt]4893

And give advice. Of that, although always a spendthrift

Casual outbursts of eternal friendship

Changed his positions and contradicted himself day by day

Conciliation when war of extermination was intended

Considered it his special mission in the world to mediate

Denoungced as an obstacle to peace

France was mourning Henry and waiting for Richelieu

Hardly a sound Protestant policy anywhere but in Holland

History has not too many really important and emblematic men

I hope and I fear

King who thought it furious madness to resist the enemy

Mockery of negotiation in which nothing could be negotiated

More apprehension of fraud than of force

Opening an abyss between government and people

Successful in this step, he is ready for greater ones

That he tries to lay the fault on us is pure malice

The magnitude of this wonderful sovereign's littleness

This wonderful sovereign's littleness oppresses the imagination

Wise and honest a man, although he be somewhat longsome

Yesterday is the preceptor of To-morrow
