ENTIRE 1609-23 JOHN OF BARNEVELD, by Motley [#99][jm99v10.txt]4899

Abstinence from inquisition into consciences and private parlour

Acts of violence which under pretext of religion

Adulation for inferiors whom they despise

Advanced orthodox party-Puritans

Affection of his friends and the wrath of his enemies

Allowed the demon of religious hatred to enter into its body

Almost infinite power of the meanest of passions

And give advice. Of that, although always a spendthrift

And now the knife of another priest-led fanatic

Argument in a circle

Aristocracy of God's elect

As with his own people, keeping no back-door open

At a blow decapitated France

Atheist, a tyrant, because he resisted dictation from the clergy

Behead, torture, burn alive, and bury alive all heretics

Better to be governed by magistrates than mobs

Burning with bitter revenge for all the favours he had received

Calumny is often a stronger and more lasting power than disdain

Casual outbursts of eternal friendship

Changed his positions and contradicted himself day by day

Christian sympathy and a small assistance not being sufficient

Conciliation when war of extermination was intended

Conclusive victory for the allies seemed as predestined

Considered it his special mission in the world to mediate

Contained within itself the germs of a larger liberty

Could not be both judge and party in the suit

Covered now with the satirical dust of centuries

Created one child for damnation and another for salvation

Deadly hatred of Puritans in England and Holland

Death rather than life with a false acknowledgment of guilt

Denoungced as an obstacle to peace

Depths of credulity men in all ages can sink

Depths theological party spirit could descend

Determined to bring the very name of liberty into contempt

Devote himself to his gout and to his fair young wife

Disputing the eternal damnation of young children

Doctrine of predestination in its sternest and strictest sense

Emperor of Japan addressed him as his brother monarch

Enemy of all compulsion of the human conscience

Epernon, the true murderer of Henry

Estimating his character and judging his judges

Everybody should mind his own business

Extraordinary capacity for yielding to gentle violence

Fate, free will, or absolute foreknowledge

Father Cotton, who was only too ready to betray the secrets

France was mourning Henry and waiting for Richelieu

Furious mob set upon the house of Rem Bischop

Give him advice if he asked it, and money when he required

Great war of religion and politics was postponed

Hardly a sound Protestant policy anywhere but in Holland

He was not imperial of aspect on canvas or coin

He who would have all may easily lose all

He who spreads the snare always tumbles into the ditch himself

He was a sincere bigot

He that stands let him see that he does not fall

Heidelberg Catechism were declared to be infallible

Highborn demagogues in that as in every age affect adulation

History has not too many really important and emblematic men

Human nature in its meanness and shame

I know how to console myself

I hope and I fear

If he has deserved it, let them strike off his head

Impatience is often on the part of the non-combatants

Implication there was much, of assertion very little

In this he was much behind his age or before it

Intense bigotry of conviction

International friendship, the self-interest of each

It had not yet occurred to him that he was married

It was the true religion, and there was none other

James of England, who admired, envied, and hated Henry

Jealousy, that potent principle

Jesuit Mariana--justifying the killing of excommunicated kings

John Robinson

King who thought it furious madness to resist the enemy

King's definite and final intentions, varied from day to day

Language which is ever living because it is dead

Logic is rarely the quality on which kings pride themselves

Louis XIII.

Ludicrous gravity

Magistracy at that moment seemed to mean the sword

Make the very name of man a term of reproach

Misery had come not from their being enemies

Mockery of negotiation in which nothing could be negotiated

More apprehension of fraud than of force

More fiercely opposed to each other than to Papists

Most detestable verses that even he had ever composed

Necessity of deferring to powerful sovereigns

Neither kings nor governments are apt to value logic

Never lack of fishers in troubled waters

No man pretended to think of the State

No man can be neutral in civil contentions

No synod had a right to claim Netherlanders as slaves

None but God to compel me to say more than I choose to say

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

O God! what does man come to!

Only true religion

Opening an abyss between government and people

Opposed the subjection of the magistracy by the priesthood

Outdoing himself in dogmatism and inconsistency

Partisans wanted not accommodation but victory

Party hatred was not yet glutted with the blood it had drunk

Philip IV.

Pot-valiant hero

Power the poison of which it is so difficult to resist

Practised successfully the talent of silence

Presents of considerable sums of money to the negotiators made

Priests shall control the state or the state govern the priests

Princes show what they have in them at twenty-five or never

Puritanism in Holland was a very different thing from England

Putting the cart before the oxen

Queen is entirely in the hands of Spain and the priests

Rather a wilderness to reign over than a single heretic

Religion was made the strumpet of Political Ambition

Religious toleration, which is a phrase of insult

Resolve to maintain the civil authority over the military

Rose superior to his doom and took captivity captive

Safest citadel against an invader and a tyrant is distrust

Schism in the Church had become a public fact

Secure the prizes of war without the troubles and dangers

Seemed bent on self-destruction

Senectus edam maorbus est

She declined to be his procuress

Small matter which human folly had dilated into a great one

Smooth words, in the plentiful lack of any substantial

So much in advance of his time as to favor religious equality

Stand between hope and fear

Stroke of a broken table knife sharpened on a carriage wheel

Successful in this step, he is ready for greater ones

Tempest of passion and prejudice

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

That cynical commerce in human lives

The effect of energetic, uncompromising calumny

The evils resulting from a confederate system of government

The vehicle is often prized more than the freight

The voice of slanderers

The truth in shortest about matters of importance

The assassin, tortured and torn by four horses

The defence of the civil authority against the priesthood

The magnitude of this wonderful sovereign's littleness

The Catholic League and the Protestant Union

Their own roofs were not quite yet in a blaze

Theological hatred was in full blaze throughout the country

Theology and politics were one

There was no use in holding language of authority to him

There was but one king in Europe, Henry the Bearnese

Therefore now denounced the man whom he had injured

They have killed him, 'e ammazato,' cried Concini

Things he could tell which are too odious and dreadful

Thirty Years' War tread on the heels of the forty years

This wonderful sovereign's littleness oppresses the imagination

This, then, is the reward of forty years' service to the State

To milk, the cow as long as she would give milk

To stifle for ever the right of free enquiry

To look down upon their inferior and lost fellow creatures

Uncouple the dogs and let them run

Unimaginable outrage as the most legitimate industry

Vows of an eternal friendship of several weeks' duration

What could save the House of Austria, the cause of Papacy

Whether repentance could effect salvation

Whether dead infants were hopelessly damned

Whose mutual hatred was now artfully inflamed by partisans

William Brewster

Wise and honest a man, although he be somewhat longsome

Wish to appear learned in matters of which they are ignorant

Work of the aforesaid Puritans and a few Jesuits

Wrath of the Jesuits at this exercise of legal authority

Yes, there are wicked men about

Yesterday is the preceptor of To-morrow
