LIFE OF JOHN OF BARNEVELD, 1617 by Motley[#94][jm94v10.txt]4894

Acts of violence which under pretext of religion

Adulation for inferiors whom they despise

Calumny is often a stronger and more lasting power than disdain

Created one child for damnation and another for salvation

Depths of credulity men in all ages can sink

Devote himself to his gout and to his fair young wife

Furious mob set upon the house of Rem Bischop

Highborn demagogues in that as in every age affect adulation

In this he was much behind his age or before it

Logic is rarely the quality on which kings pride themselves

Necessity of deferring to powerful sovereigns

Not his custom nor that of his councillors to go to bed

Partisans wanted not accommodation but victory

Puritanism in Holland was a very different thing from England

Seemed bent on self-destruction

Stand between hope and fear

The evils resulting from a confederate system of government

To stifle for ever the right of free enquiry
