Chapter 3

Those who "sought to swim between two waters"

Those who argue against a foregone conclusion

Thought that all was too little for him

Thousands of burned heretics had not made a single convert

Three hundred fighting women

Three hundred and upwards are hanged annually in London

Three or four hundred petty sovereigns (of Germany)

Throw the cat against their legs

Thus Hand-weapen, hand-throwing, became Antwerp

Time and myself are two

Tis pity he is not an Englishman

To think it capable of error, is the most devilish heresy of all

To stifle for ever the right of free enquiry

To attack England it was necessary to take the road of Ireland

To hear the last solemn commonplaces

To prefer poverty to the wealth attendant upon trade

To shirk labour, infinite numbers become priests and friars

To doubt the infallibility of Calvin was as heinous a crime

To negotiate with Government in England was to bribe

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

To work, ever to work, was the primary law of his nature

To negotiate was to bribe right and left, and at every step

To look down upon their inferior and lost fellow creatures

Toil and sacrifices of those who have preceded us

Tolerate another religion that his own may be tolerated

Tolerating religious liberty had never entered his mind

Toleration--that intolerable term of insult

Toleration thought the deadliest heresy of all

Torquemada's administration (of the inquisition)

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

Tranquil insolence

Tranquillity rather of paralysis than of health

Tranquillity of despotism to the turbulence of freedom

Triple marriages between the respective nurseries

Trust her sword, not her enemy's word

Twas pity, he said, that both should be heretics

Twenty assaults upon fame and had forty books killed under him

Two witnesses sent him to the stake, one witness to the rack

Tyrannical spirit of Calvinism

Tyranny, ever young and ever old, constantly reproducing herself

Uncouple the dogs and let them run

Under the name of religion (so many crimes)

Understood the art of managing men, particularly his superiors

Undue anxiety for impartiality

Unduly dejected in adversity

Unequivocal policy of slave emancipation

Unimaginable outrage as the most legitimate industry

Universal suffrage was not dreamed of at that day

Unlearned their faith in bell, book, and candle

Unproductive consumption being accounted most sagacious

Unproductive consumption was alarmingly increasing

Unremitted intellectual labor in an honorable cause

Unwise impatience for peace

Upon their knees, served the queen with wine

Upon one day twenty-eight master cooks were dismissed

Upper and lower millstones of royal wrath and loyal subserviency

Use of the spade

Usual phraseology of enthusiasts

Usual expedient by which bad legislation on one side countered

Utter disproportions between the king's means and aims

Utter want of adaptation of his means to his ends

Uttering of my choler doth little ease my grief or help my case

Uunmeaning phrases of barren benignity

Vain belief that they were men at eighteen or twenty

Valour on the one side and discretion on the other

Villagers, or villeins

Visible atmosphere of power the poison of which

Volatile word was thought preferable to the permanent letter

Vows of an eternal friendship of several weeks' duration

Waiting the pleasure of a capricious and despotic woman

Walk up and down the earth and destroy his fellow-creatures

War was the normal and natural condition of mankind

War was the normal condition of Christians

War to compel the weakest to follow the religion of the strongest

Was it astonishing that murder was more common than fidelity?

Wasting time fruitlessly is sharpening the knife for himself

We were sold by their negligence who are now angry with us

We believe our mothers to have been honest women

We are beginning to be vexed

We must all die once

We have been talking a little bit of truth to each other

We have the reputation of being a good housewife

We mustn't tickle ourselves to make ourselves laugh

Wealth was an unpardonable sin

Wealthy Papists could obtain immunity by an enormous fine

Weapons

Weary of place without power

Weep oftener for her children than is the usual lot of mothers

Weight of a thousand years of error

What exchequer can accept chronic warfare and escape bankruptcy

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

What was to be done in this world and believed as to the next

When persons of merit suffer without cause

When all was gone, they began to eat each other

When the abbot has dice in his pocket, the convent will play

Whether dead infants were hopelessly damned

Whether murders or stratagems, as if they were acts of virtue

Whether repentance could effect salvation

While one's friends urge moderation

Who the "people" exactly were

Who loved their possessions better than their creed

Whole revenue was pledged to pay the interest, on his debts

Whose mutual hatred was now artfully inflamed by partisans

William of Nassau, Prince of Orange

William Brewster

Wise and honest a man, although he be somewhat longsome

Wiser simply to satisfy himself

Wish to sell us the bear-skin before they have killed the bear

Wish to appear learned in matters of which they are ignorant

With something of feline and feminine duplicity

Wonder equally at human capacity to inflict and to endure misery

Wonders whether it has found its harbor or only lost its anchor

Word peace in Spanish mouths simply meant the Holy Inquisition

Word-mongers who, could clothe one shivering thought

Words are always interpreted to the disadvantage of the weak

Work of the aforesaid Puritans and a few Jesuits

World has rolled on to fresher fields of carnage and ruin

Worn crescents in their caps at Leyden

Worn nor caused to be worn the collar of the serf

Worship God according to the dictates of his conscience

Would not help to burn fifty or sixty thousand Netherlanders

Wrath of the Jesuits at this exercise of legal authority

Wrath of bigots on both sides

Wrath of that injured personage as he read such libellous truths

Wringing a dry cloth for drops of evidence

Write so illegibly or express himself so awkwardly

Writing letters full of injured innocence

Yes, there are wicked men about

Yesterday is the preceptor of To-morrow

You must show your teeth to the Spaniard
