All fellow-worms together

All business has been transacted with open doors

All reading of the scriptures (forbidden)

All the majesty which decoration could impart

All denounced the image-breaking

All claimed the privilege of persecuting

All his disciples and converts are to be punished with death

All Protestants were beheaded, burned, or buried alive

All classes are conservative by necessity

All the ministers and great functionaries received presents

All offices were sold to the highest bidder

Allow her to seek a profit from his misfortune

Allowed the demon of religious hatred to enter into its body

Almost infinite power of the meanest of passions

Already looking forward to the revolt of the slave States

Altercation between Luther and Erasmus, upon predestination

Always less apt to complain of irrevocable events

American Unholy Inquisition

Amuse them with this peace negotiation

An inspiring and delightful recreation (auto-da-fe)

An hereditary papacy, a perpetual pope-emperor

An age when to think was a crime

An unjust God, himself the origin of sin

An order of things in which mediocrity is at a premium

Anarchy which was deemed inseparable from a non-regal form

Anatomical study of what has ceased to exist

And give advice. Of that, although always a spendthrift

And now the knife of another priest-led fanatic
