Trust her sword, not her enemy's word

Twas pity, he said, that both should be heretics

Twenty assaults upon fame and had forty books killed under him

Two witnesses sent him to the stake, one witness to the rack

Tyrannical spirit of Calvinism

Tyranny, ever young and ever old, constantly reproducing herself

Uncouple the dogs and let them run

Under the name of religion (so many crimes)

Understood the art of managing men, particularly his superiors

Undue anxiety for impartiality

Unduly dejected in adversity

Unequivocal policy of slave emancipation

Unimaginable outrage as the most legitimate industry

Universal suffrage was not dreamed of at that day

Unlearned their faith in bell, book, and candle

Unproductive consumption being accounted most sagacious

Unproductive consumption was alarmingly increasing

Unremitted intellectual labor in an honorable cause

Unwise impatience for peace

Upon their knees, served the queen with wine

Upon one day twenty-eight master cooks were dismissed

Upper and lower millstones of royal wrath and loyal subserviency

Use of the spade

Usual phraseology of enthusiasts

Usual expedient by which bad legislation on one side countered

Utter disproportions between the king's means and aims

Utter want of adaptation of his means to his ends

Uttering of my choler doth little ease my grief or help my case
