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
