Part 27

Power to read and write helped the clergy to much wealth

Power grudged rather than given to the deputies

Practised successfully the talent of silence

Pray here for satiety, (said Cecil) than ever think of variety

Preferred an open enemy to a treacherous protector

Premature zeal was prejudicial to the cause

Presents of considerable sums of money to the negotiators made

Presumption in entitling themselves Christian

Preventing wrong, or violence, even towards an enemy

Priests shall control the state or the state govern the priests

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

Prisoners were immediately hanged

Privileged to beg, because ashamed to work

Proceeds of his permission to eat meat on Fridays

Proclaiming the virginity of the Virgin's mother

Procrastination was always his first refuge

Progress should be by a spiral movement

Promises which he knew to be binding only upon the weak

Proposition made by the wolves to the sheep, in the fable

Protect the common tranquillity by blood, purse, and life

Provided not one Huguenot be left alive in France

Public which must have a slain reputation to devour

Purchased absolution for crime and smoothed a pathway to heaven

Puritanism in Holland was a very different thing from England

Put all those to the torture out of whom anything can be got

Putting the cart before the oxen

Queen is entirely in the hands of Spain and the priests

Questioning nothing, doubting nothing, fearing nothing
