Enthusiasm could not supply the place of experience

Envying those whose sufferings had already been terminated

Epernon, the true murderer of Henry

Erasmus of Rotterdam

Erasmus encourages the bold friar

Establish not freedom for Calvinism, but freedom for conscience

Estimating his character and judging his judges

Even the virtues of James were his worst enemies

Even to grant it slowly is to deny it utterly

Even for the rape of God's mother, if that were possible

Ever met disaster with so cheerful a smile

Ever-swarming nurseries of mercenary warriors

Every one sees what you seem, few perceive what you are

Everybody should mind his own business

Everything else may happen This alone must happen

Everything was conceded, but nothing was secured

Evil is coming, the sooner it arrives the better

Evil has the advantage of rapidly assuming many shapes

Excited with the appearance of a gem of true philosophy

Excused by their admirers for their shortcomings

Excuses to disarm the criticism he had some reason to fear

Executions of Huss and Jerome of Prague

Exorcising the devil by murdering his supposed victims

Extraordinary capacity for yielding to gentle violence

Fable of divine right is invented to sanction the system

Faction has rarely worn a more mischievous aspect

Famous fowl in every pot

Fanatics of the new religion denounced him as a godless man
