It is n't strategists that are wanted so much as believers

It is certain that the English hate us (Sully)

Its humility, seemed sufficiently ironical

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

Jealousy, that potent principle

Jesuit Mariana--justifying the killing of excommunicated kings

John Castel, who had stabbed Henry IV.

John Wier, a physician of Grave

John Robinson

John Quincy Adams

Judas Maccabaeus

July 1st, two Augustine monks were burned at Brussels

Justified themselves in a solemn consumption of time

Kindly shadow of oblivion

King who thought it furious madness to resist the enemy

King had issued a general repudiation of his debts

King set a price upon his head as a rebel

King of Zion to be pinched to death with red-hot tongs

King was often to be something much less or much worse

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

Labored under the disadvantage of never having existed

Labour was esteemed dishonourable

Language which is ever living because it is dead

Languor of fatigue, rather than any sincere desire for peace

Leading motive with all was supposed to be religion

Learn to tremble as little at priestcraft as at swordcraft

Leave not a single man alive in the city, and to burn every house

Let us fool these poor creatures to their heart's content
