16518	Need I say that when the votes came to be taken, this poet received the cup?
16518	Now, really?''
16518	That gentleman in a high stock and a short- waisted coat-- the late Mr. Brummell surely, walking in this direction?
16518	They were promenading the deck, and the following dialogue was borne to me in snatches: First Harry( interrogatively, and astonished):''Eh?
16518	Was not life short?
16518	What is it, again?
16518	Who has been at Commines?
4888	For how much good will it do,said the King,"if we drive off Archduke Leopold without establishing the princes in security for the future?
4888	What relatives?
4888	Besides the sons of the Advocate, his two sons- in- law, Brederode, Seignior of Veenhuizep, and Cornelis van der Myle, were constantly employed?
4888	What army, what combination, what device, what talisman, could save the House of Austria, the cause of Papacy, from the impending ruin?
4888	What need to repeat the tragic, familiar tale?
4888	What preparations had Spain and the Empire, the Pope and the League, set on foot to beat back even for a moment the overwhelming onset?
4888	Why should they of all other people be made an exception of, and be exempt from, the action of a general edict?
46248	''And you are not contented with that?''
46248	''Do you know his signature?''
46248	''What do you mean?''
46248	''What would you think,''the Count asked them,''if you heard that La Ruelle has sold your country to France?''
46248	''What?
46248	''Which?''
46248	And at Ghent?
46248	Arrest me?''
46248	Then Everard, weeping also, answered:''You ask pardon for the death of my brother in the name of God, who died for us all?
46248	Which is to be supreme, he asked, the Prince or the people?
46248	Who has the right to make laws or grant monopolies?
46248	Would it not, he asked, be a glorious work to confine the Bishops to their Apostolic mission, as in the days of St. Hubert?
46248	Would you like to see La Ruelle''s body?''
46248	[ Illustration: LA VIEILLE BOUCHERIE, LIÉGE]''Tell me, gentlemen,''said Warfusée,''do you wish to be Spanish, or French, or Dutch?''
4882	But has the cause of modesty or humanity gained very much by the decorous fig- leaves of modern diplomacy?
4882	On the other hand, what good could it do to the cause of peace, that these wonderful instructions should be published throughout the republic?
4882	Was better proof ever afforded that God alone can protect us against those whom we trust?
4882	What can you expect from them but evil fruit?"
4882	What could be more hopeless than such negotiations?
4882	What more dreary than the perpetual efforts of two lines to approach each other which were mathematically incapable of meeting?
4882	Who was most dangerous to the United Provinces during those memorable peace negotiations, Spain the avowed enemy, or France the friend?
4882	Without it, what exchequer can accept chronic warfare and escape bankruptcy?
4882	where is the golden statue?
41830	And are Antwerp and Brussels both in Flanders?
41830	What will I do if Amèlie should die?
41830	But he has the outline, the depth, the largeness, the naturalness and the chiaroscuro of Rubens; is not that enough?"
41830	Dost thou despise the earth where cares abound?
41830	Has he faults?
41830	In practice it did not accomplish quite all that was expected of it by its learned originator-- but what plan ever does, or ever will?
41830	Now, does that tablet help you to reconstruct your history?
41830	Or, while the wings aspire, are heart and eye Both with thy nest upon the dewy ground?
41830	The interiors of Henri de Braekeleer, and his charming Nursery Garden, for example, what could be finer?
41830	Who knows?
41830	Why, where is Flanders?"
4895	Who asks you to do so?
4895	And although he had mentioned no names, could the"eminent personages"thus cited at second hand be anybody but the Advocate?
4895	Had not Esquire van Ostrum solemnly declared it at a tavern table?
4895	Otherwise how could there be unanimous voting in parliament?
4895	Was it still to deserve the name?
4895	Were these the words of a baffled conspirator and traitor?
4895	Were they uttered to produce an effect upon public opinion and avert a merited condemnation by all good men?
4895	What evidence could be more conclusive of a deep design on the part of Barneveld to sell the Republic to the Archduke and drive Maurice into exile?
4895	What liberal or healthy government would be possible otherwise?
4844	Why, why did you not write yourself?
4844	How could there be doubt or supineness on such a momentous subject?
4844	If the twain as Holland wished, had become of one flesh, would England have been the loser?
4844	Should Philip administer his new kingdom by a viceroy, or should he appoint a king out of his own family?
4844	What now was the disposition and what the means of the Provinces to do their part in the contest?
4844	What was his work?
4844	Who is he that will refuse to spend his life and living in it?
4844	Why was he there?
4856	But how if they make war upon us?
4856	But,asked a deputy,"if the Spanish fleet does not succeed in its enterprise, will the peace- negotiations be renewed?"
4856	Sire, is the Duke of Guise your friend or enemy?
4856	And,"Oh, the wretched coward, the imbecile?"
4856	How old were you when you first became a preacher?"
4856	Is there anything else you seek?"
4856	Is there no envoy from Utrecht and the other Provinces?"
4856	Is this young man also a minister?"
4856	Moreover, who would not rather be a horse- keeper to her Majesty, than a captain to Barneveld or Buys?"
4856	The Queen.--"And of the States?"
4856	The Queen.--"Are you sent only from Holland and Zeeland?
4856	The Queen.--"Then how were you sent hither?"
4856	The Queen.--"What?
4856	To the threat of being invaded, and to the advice to close his gates, he answered,"Do you see these two doors?
4856	What was the aspect of affairs in Germany and France?
4856	when should she serve,"said the Admiral,"if not at such a time as this?
4833	Tell me,he cried,"by whose command Cardinal Granvelle administered poison to the Emperor Maximilian?
4833	Can you give me another?
4833	For why have I exposed my property?
4833	In whose- name and by what authority did they act against the sovereign?
4833	Was a people not justified in rising against authority when all their laws had been trodden under foot,"not once only, but a million of times?"
4833	Was it that I might enrich myself?
4833	Was it that I might find new; ones?
4833	Was that hypocrisy?
4833	What was his position at the moment?
4833	What, then, was the condition of the nation, after this great step had been taken?
4833	Why have I left my son so long a prisoner?
4833	Why have I lost my brothers?
4833	Why have I put my life so often in, danger?
4833	Would it not be better, then, that the poor man, to avoid starvation, should wait no longer, but accept bread wherever he might find it?
4802	Had it not been weakness to spare the traitors who had thus stained the childhood of the national joy at liberty regained?
4802	Was it more severe and sudden than that which betrayed monarchs usually inflict?
4802	Was it probable that the lethargy of provinces, which had reached so high a point of freedom only to be deprived of it at last, could endure forever?
4802	Was it strange that a century or so of this kind of work should produce a Luther?
4802	Were not these amusements of the Netherlanders as elevated and humanizing as the contemporary bull- fights and autos- da- fe of Spain?
4802	What are oaths and hostages when prerogative, and the people are contending?
4802	What can be more consistent than laws of descent, regulated by right divine?
4802	What could a single province effect, when its sister states, even liberty- loving Holland, had basely abandoned the common cause?
4802	What could be more practical or more devout than the conception?
4802	Where else upon earth, at that day, was there half so much liberty as was thus guaranteed?
4802	Which is the most wonderful manifestation in the history of this personage-- the audacity of the impostor, or the bestiality of his victims?
38528	Why not speak to Queen Joanna?
38528	''And what has been the reward of all this service and sacrifice?''
38528	''And what is his real aim?''
38528	''Why do you weep,''he asked,''because you see in me a mortal?
38528	(?)
38528	(?)
38528	(?)
38528	Dites- vous donc que je suis égarée Quant je me vois séparée de mon bien?
38528	Et comment pourroit un coeur si gros, En corps si faible et si petit enclos, Passer le jour que de moy te dépars?
38528	I am told that Don Juan Manuel said to her( Margaret), what is the use of your going to speak to a stone?
38528	Le Livre du pélérinage du viel hermite?
38528	Me faudra- t- il enfin ainsi morir?
38528	Nul n''aura- t- il de mon mal coignoissance?
38528	She then asked if the Cardinal of Liége were coming with madame, and if he was a man who would aim at good?
38528	V Me faudra- t- il toujours ainsi languir?
38528	What consolation can we find in the death of the very saintly Princess Margaret?
38528	Why, asked Fuensalida of Maximilian, was he sending so important and unexpected an embassy to Spain?
4893	I doubt if he accepts the suggestion,said Barneveld,"unless as a notorious trick, and if he did, what good would the promise of Spinola do us?
4893	What excuse is that?
4893	And why?
4893	Even Caron was staggered?
4893	How long would that policy remain sound and united?
4893	How long would the Republic speak through the imperial voice of Barneveld?
4893	Should I bestow as much on them as cometh to the value of my whole yearly rent?
4893	Should I ruin myself for maintaining them?
4893	What is to prevent it?
4893	What need to pursue the barren, vulgar, and often repeated chronicle?
4893	Where was this vast sum to be found?
4893	Yet before the ink had dried in James''s pen, he was proposing that the names of the mediating sovereigns should be omitted from the document?
4878	But,said the prince,"how did you dare to enter the Hague, relying only on the word of a Beggar?"
4878	What can you do then?
4878	What indulgence do you speak of?
4878	Who would not confide,replied Neyen,"in the word of so exalted, so respectable a Beggar as you, O most excellent prince?"
4878	Could you do that?"
4878	Do you believe that my lords the States will agree to the proposition?"
4878	Do you not believe that Prince Maurice has designs on the sovereignty, and would prevent the fulfilment of the king''s hopes?
4878	Do you think that they would give themselves to the king if he assisted them?
4878	Should the whole army mutiny at once, what might become of the kingdom of Spain?
4878	Tell me, I pray you, what would you do for his Majesty in case anything should be done for you?
4878	Was it thought to bait a trap for the ingenuous Netherlanders, and catch them little by little, like so many wild animals?
4878	Was not this reasonable and according to the elemental laws?
4878	What did all this mean, it was demanded, this producing one set of propositions after another?
4878	What will you do for us in return for our assistance?"
4878	Where, then, could even a loophole be found through which the possibility of a compromise could be espied?
4878	Who better than he then, in this double capacity, to coil himself around the rebellion, and to carry the olive- branch in his mouth?
4878	Why did the archdukes not declare their intentions openly and at once?
4810	What, Madam,he is reported to have cried in a passion,"is it possible that your Highness can entertain fears of these beggars?
4810	And what was the"rigorous and exemplary justice"thus inflicted upon the"quidam?"
4810	But who were these"other"heretics?
4810	Dost think thyself beyond the reach of mischief?
4810	For what purpose were these gatherings?
4810	Hast flown to thy nest so early?
4810	Is it not obvious what manner of men they are?
4810	Should mercenary troops at this late hour be sent for?
4810	Should they assemble the captains of the Military associations?
4810	Should they call themselves the"Society of Concord,"the restorers of lost liberty, or by what other attractive title should the league be baptized?
4810	Should they issue a proclamation?
4810	Should they summon the ward- masters, and order the instant arming and mustering of their respective companies?
4810	They have not had wisdom enough to manage their own estates, and are they now to teach the King and your Highness how to govern the country?
4810	Was it strange that Orange should feel little affinity with such companions?
4810	What precaution should: they take?
4810	Would not their appearance at this crisis rather inflame the rage than intimidate the insolence of the sectaries?
4810	they cried;"art thou terrified so soon?
4827	And what becomes, then, of their promises?
4827	And what reason have we to hope,cried the Prince,"that your pledges, if made; will be redeemed?
4827	And what,asked a deputy, smoothly,"is the point which touches you most nearly?
4827	But,asked Schetz,"what security do you offer us that you will yourselves maintain the Pacification?"
4827	But,replied the Prince,"if we are already accomplishing the Pacification, what more do you wish?"
4827	Of what particular point do you complain?
4827	So that you do n''t mean,replied Schetz,"to accept the decision of the states?"
4827	War?
4827	Wherein has the Pacification been violated?
4827	You do n''t mean, then,repeated Schetz,"to submit to the estates touching the exercise of religion?"
4827	By what means will it be possible for the government fully to give you contentment?"
4827	Did not Louis of Nassau nearly entrap the Grand Commander?
4827	Governments given by royal commission, for example; what point could be clearer?
4827	Had not the redoubtable Alva been nearly made a captive?
4827	Was he not himself the mark of obloquy among the Reformers, because of his leniency to Catholics?
4827	What have you to fear?"
4827	What is it that your Excellency most desires?
4827	cried the Prince,"what are you afraid of?
4827	how the devil came you to send that courier to Rome about the English plot without giving me warning?"
6776	Is it that the rest of the world should consider us too stupid, or too cowardly, to protect ourselves? 6776 Why are foreign hands needed for our defence?"
6776	And with what adversaries?
6776	But what resource has man when placed in the position of omnipotence?
6776	Hast thou not still at thy command the same brave Netherlanders to whom thy father entrusted the republic in far more troubled times?
6776	Or shall we be able to keep in order these licentious bands which thine own presence could not restrain?
6776	Perhaps then art anxious to guard against surprise from our neighbors?
6776	Why did he prefer to employ every other means, however improbable, rather than make trial of the only remedy which could insure success?
6776	Why have we made peace if the burdens of war are still to oppress us?
6776	Why incur a heavy expense to engage foreigners who will not care for a country which they must leave to- morrow?
6776	Why shouldest thou now doubt their loyalty, which, to thy ancestors, they have preserved for so many centuries inviolate?
6776	could not possibly have any higher object of his solicitude than uniformity, both in religion and in laws, because without these he could not reign?
6776	himself appear in the Netherlands?
18959	Are you an American citizen?
18959	Are you sure that all the best pieces are there?
18959	Me? 18959 Where were you born?"
18959	Who do you know in Aurora?
18959	[ 7]What''s your name?"
18959	_ A qui tout ce tas de depeches?_roars he.
18959	And where is the military advantage of this?
18959	Could they send their messages through to their papers?
18959	How many men in his position could have counted on that much devotion?
18959	One of our party pulled his kodak from his pocket and inquired of our guardian in English:"May I take a picture?"
18959	One of the questions on it was:"Why do you desire to return to the United States?"
18959	Oui mus''mak our office, not?"
18959	Our daily query now is--"Who has declared war to- day?"
18959	Then putting the tips of his fingers together and looking me coyly in the eye, he inquired:"And then my dear colleague, what will be your position?"
18959	When he moved up to the desk, the first question was:"Where do you want to go?"
18959	Will you come back at half- past two?"
4865	Do you wish it sincerely?
4865	Who are you, and what do you want?
4865	Can it be doubted that they will fly to arms at once, and give all their support to the King of Navarre, heretic though he be?
4865	Can we by reason even expect a good sequel to such iniquitous acts?
4865	He who has maintained and preserved you by His mercy, can you imagine that he permits you to walk alone in your utmost need?
4865	How can he hope to conquer France?
4865	Is it possible that any wordly respect can efface the terror of Divine wrath?
4865	What if it were found out that we were all fellow- worms together, and that those which had crawled highest were not necessarily the least slimy?
4865	What if the fearful heresy should gain ground that the People was at least as wise, honest, and brave as its masters?
4865	What if the whole theory of hereditary superiority should suddenly exhale?
4865	What matters it to them that blood flows, and that the miserable people are destroyed, who alone are good for anything?"
4865	What motive had so many princes to traverse Philip''s designs in the Netherlands, but desire to destroy the enormous power which they feared?
4865	When were priestly flatterers ever wanting to pour this poison into the souls of tyrants?
4865	With what chrism, by what prelate, should the consecration of Henry be performed?
4894	And suppose our ministers do preach this doctrine, is there anything strange in it, any reason why they should not do so?
4894	Are we to suffer such folk here,he replied,"who preach the vile doctrine that God has created one man for damnation and another for salvation?"
4894	Did you ever hear any one preach that?
4894	What need had the sovereign states of Holland of advice from a stadholder, from their servant, their functionary?
4894	And in what way had he scandalized the government of the Republic?
4894	And what said Maurice in reply?
4894	But if we take refuge with the Lord God, what can this inane, worn- out man and water- bubble do to us?"
4894	But what were ties of blood compared to the iron bands of religious love and hatred?
4894	But when were doctors ever wanting to prove the unlawfulness of law which interferes with the purposes of a despot and the convictions of the bigot?
4894	Did not preacher Hoe''s master aspire to the crown of Bohemia himself?
4894	How could Maximilian, sternest of Papists, and Frederick V., flightiest of Calvinists, act harmoniously in an Imperial election?
4894	If such idiotic calumnies could be believed, what patriot in the world could not be doubted?
4894	Was he not furious at the start which Heidelberg had got of him in the race for that golden prize?
4894	Was he not mad with jealousy of the Palatine, of the Palatine''s religion, and of the Palatine''s claim to"hegemony"in Germany?
4894	Why should either Calvinists or Lutherans be tolerated in Styria?
4894	Why, indeed?
4894	was it united?
4886	And a few years beyond it?
4886	As to money--"How much money have I got?
4886	Fourteen millions?
4886	Sixteen?
4886	Well, preacher,rejoined Maurice,"do n''t you think I know better?"
4886	And to whom belonged the right of prescribing laws and ordinances of public worship, of appointing preachers, church servants, schoolmasters, sextons?
4886	Are you not very unhappy to live under those poor weak archdukes?
4886	But who works like Sully?
4886	Could antagonism be more sharply defined?
4886	Do n''t you foresee that as soon as they die you will lose all the little you have acquired in the obedient Netherlands during the last fifty years?"
4886	He then asked if the King thought that the princes had justice on their side, and whether, if the contrary were shown, he would change his policy?
4886	How could the Eldest Son of the Church and the chief of an unlimited monarchy make common cause with heretics and republicans against Spain and Rome?
4886	Jeannin was present at the interview, although, as Aerssens well observed, the King required no pedagogue on such an occasion?
4886	asked the King;"a dozen millions?"
4886	do you look at the matter in that way?"
4890	And now had not Francis Aerssens been the first to communicate to his masters the fruit which had already ripened upon Henry''s grave?
4890	Are we to preach in barns?
4890	But should the five Points or the Seven Points obtain the mastery?
4890	Does it not seem to you a plot well woven as well in Holland as at this court to remove me from my post with disreputation?
4890	Had not Don Pedro de Toledo pompously announced this condition a year and a half before?
4890	Had not Henry spurned the bribe with scorn?
4890	Had they not had enough of the seed sown by that foe of God, Arminius?
4890	Has not the Pope intervened in the affair?
4890	How can I negotiate after my private despatches have been read?
4890	Is not the example of Julich fresh?
4890	Was the supreme power of the Union, created at Utrecht in 1579, vested in the States- General?
4890	Were they now to be permitted to invade neutral territory, to violate public faith, to act under no responsibility save to their own will?
4890	What can be more ticklish than to pass judgment on the tricks of those who are governing this state?
4890	What envoy will ever dare to speak with vigour if he is not sustained by the government at home?
4890	What have I done that should cause the Queen to disapprove my proceedings?
4890	What was left for them to do except to set up a tribunal in Holland for giving laws to the whole of Northern Europe?
4890	Who can dispute that those interested ought to procure the execution of the treaty?
4890	Who is going to believe that?
4890	Why had Maurice opposed the treaty?
4825	Could Philip or Alva have found in the wide world men to execute their decrees with more unhesitating docility, with more sympathizing eagerness?
4825	Had not a handful of warriors of their own race rifled the golden Indies?
4825	Had not cannon thundered and beacons blazed to commemorate that auspicious event?
4825	Had not the Pope and his cardinals gone to church in solemn procession, to render thanks unto God for the massacre of Paris?
4825	Had not their fathers, few in number, strong in courage and discipline, revelled in the plunder of a new world?
4825	Had not they fought within the bowels of the earth, beneath the depths of the sea, within blazing cities, and upon fields of ice?
4825	Had the creed of Luther been embraced only for such unworthy ends?
4825	Had they not done the work of demons for nine years long?
4825	Had they not eaten the flesh, and drank the hearts''blood of their enemies?
4825	Had they not slaughtered unarmed human beings by townfuls, at the word of command?
4825	Had they not stained the house of God with wholesale massacre?
4825	If so much had been done by Holland and Zealand, how much more might be hoped when all the provinces were united?
4825	Was it to be tolerated that base, pacific burghers should monopolize the treasure by which a band of heroes might be enriched?
4825	What altar and what hearthstone had they not profaned?
4825	What could half- armed artisans achieve in the open plain against such accomplished foes?
4825	What could such half- armed and wholly untrained partisans effect against the bravest and most experienced troops in the whole world?
4825	What element had they not braved?
4825	What fatigue, what danger, what crime, had ever checked them for a moment?
4825	What obstacle had ever given them pause in their career of duty?
4825	What was to be done?
4825	Where was the work which had been too dark and bloody for their performance?
4825	Whom were they to trust?
4825	Why should not the Antwerp executioners claim equal commendation?
14037	Tell me,said the Emperor,"which is purer, the fountain or the rivulet?"
14037	But, what was the Synod itself more than human authority?
14037	But, where are these feelings and that judgment recorded and preserved?
14037	But--_how_ are we free?
14037	By what reward do''st thou detain the manes mingled in blood?
14037	Can you flatter yourself, that you will discover something better?
14037	Does it necessitate?
14037	Does it not necessitate?
14037	Has any nation produced a more perfect style of forensic or judicial eloquence, than that of_ Sir William Grant_?
14037	He protested in it against the authority of the Synod, and asked the searching question, whether the Calvinists would"submit to a Synod of Lutherans?"
14037	If there were no hopes of success at present, ought we not to sow the seed, which may he useful to posterity?
14037	May he not be termed the founder of that splendid school?
14037	Nec perimit mors una semel:--Fortuna quid haeres?
14037	Pourquoi ne pas espérer de finir, par les mêmes moyens, des disputes, moins difficiles, et moins importantes?
14037	Quis tumulos moriens hos occupet hoste perempto?
14037	Quâ mercede tenes mixtos in sanguine manes?
14037	The question then was, what should be done in respect to the remaining articles in difference between the churches?
14037	This appears ridiculous; but, in the present times, is there no_ fancy_ which deserves equal ridicule?
14037	Was it fitting, they asked, that the peace of the church, and the tranquillity of the state, should be disturbed by such a dispute?
14037	What,"( he asked them)"do you substitute in its place?
14037	Whence could he have this idea?
14037	Who, the Foe extinct, Who, dying, shall these sepulchres possess, And in this sterile dust the conflict close?
14037	Why should we not hope to conclude, in the same manner, disputes, less difficult, and of less importance?
14037	_ How_ is free- will reconcileable, either with the influence of motive upon will?
14037	by a dispute which affected no essential article of christianity; no civil, no moral, no religious observation?
14037	cleave again to the present world, depart from the holy doctrine, which was delivered, make shipwreck of a good conscience?
14037	linger?
14037	or with the order of the universe, prescribed by the Deity?
14037	or, with his prescience?
14037	why do''st thou hesitate?
14037	why our souls detain With blood immingled?
6777	And what duties did he owe the king apart from those he owed the republic?
6777	And what then do we wait for more?
6777	Are they likely to consult the public good who are the slaves of their private passions?
6777	But is it then true that by calling for the promulgation of these edicts he sacrificed the nation?
6777	But, on the other hand, if by a wise disobedience she had avoided these fatal consequences, is it clear that the result would not have been the same?
6777	By thus acting shall we not rouse their vengeance against us, and call their arms into the northern Netherlands?
6777	Can it not, on the contrary, be shown with far more probability that this was really the only way effectually to frustrate them?
6777	Do they think forsooth that we, the governors of the provinces are, with our soldiers, to stand ready at the beck and call of an infamous lictor?
6777	For what else is the source of the abuse of justice and the universal corruption of the courts of law but its insatiable rapacity?
6777	How can the king apply the suitable remedies if we conceal from him the full extent of the evil?
6777	How otherwise can the pomp and scandalous luxury of its members, whom we have seen rise from the dust, be supported if not by bribery?
6777	These instructions indeed did not exactly correspond with those now given; but had not the king declared that he introduced no innovation?
6777	Was he to oppose an arbitary act in the very moment when it was about to entail a just retribution on its author?
6777	Was it possible for Philip to close a commercial state as easily as he could Spain?
6777	What good can come of this concealment?
6777	Why, then, send an ambassador to Spain, when as yet nothing has occurred to justify so extraordinary an expedient?
6777	of what avail was the embassy we so lately despatched?
6777	or, to speak more correctly, did he carry the edicts into effect by insisting on their promulgation?
6779	Are you resolved,answered Viglius,"resolutely to insist upon obedience to the royal commands?"
6779	But,began the Duke of Alva,"ought the injury of some few citizens to be considered when danger impends over the whole?
6779	How can this letter,she said,"really come from Alava, when I miss none?
6779	And would he who pretends to have intercepted it have spared the other letters?
6779	At whose instigation were the churches plundered, the images of the saints thrown down, and the towns hurried into rebellion?
6779	Because a few of the loyally- disposed may suffer wrong are the rebels therefore not to be chastised?
6779	How, too, can it be thought likely that the king would have made Alava master of a secret which he has not communicated even to me?"
6779	In fine, how can you presume to remind me of an agreement which you have been the first to break?
6779	Is it a wise risk to rely for aid upon the nearest Belgian troops when their loyalty is so little to be depended upon?
6779	Is it likely that I should have entertained the idea of protecting these illegal consistories, of tolerating this state within a state?
6779	Nay, how can it be true, when not a single packet has miscarried, nor a single despatch failed to come to hand?
6779	Or, perhaps, the prince purposed to construct a bridge of boats; if so, where would he procure the latter, and how bring them into his intrenchments?
6779	The offence has been universal, why then should not the punishment be the same?
6779	Where were beams to be found high enough to reach to the bottom and project above the surface?
6779	Who formed alliances with foregn powers, set on foot illegal enlistments, and collected unlawful taxes from the subjects of the king?
6779	Whose fault is it but theirs that the former have so far succeeded?
6779	Why did they not promptly oppose their first attempts?
4896	Did he say anything of a pardon?
4896	Have you heard whether my Grotius is to die, and Hoogerbeets also?
4896	Is it possible,said the Advocate,"that so close an inspection is held over me in these last hours?
4896	Must they see this too? 4896 Shall we go at once?"
4896	Well, Sylla,he said very calmly,"will you in these my last moments lay down the law to me as to what I shall write to my wife?"
4896	Will you take the message?
4896	--"Has either of the brethren,"he added,"prepared a prayer to be offered outside there?"
4896	Are they thus to deal with a true patriot?
4896	But supposing that all the charges had been admitted or proved, what course would naturally be taken in consequence?
4896	But what were such good gifts in the possession of rebels, seceders, and Puritans?
4896	Can I not speak a word or two in freedom?
4896	Did they abhor the Contra- Remonstrants whom James and his ambassador Carleton doted upon and whom Barneveld called"Double Puritans"and"Flanderizers?"
4896	Had not the deeply injured and misunderstood Grotius already said,"If the trees we plant do not shade us, they will yet serve for our descendants?"
4896	He came back and said to the prisoner,"Has my Lord any desire to speak with his wife or children, or any of his friends?"
4896	He then added with a half- smile,"Well, what is expected of me?"
4896	Is this my recompense for forty- three years''service to these Provinces?"
4896	La Motte asked when he had concluded,"Did my Lord say Amen?"
4896	The following is all that has reference to the Prince:"Of what matters may I ordinarily write to his Excellency?"
4896	When this was done, he said,"John, are you to stay by me to the last?"
4896	Where was the supposed centre of that intrigue?
4896	Who could dream that this departure of an almost nameless band of emigrants to the wilderness was an epoch in the world''s history?
4896	Whose name was most familiar on the lips of the Spanish partisans engaged in these secret schemes?
4896	Will my Lord please to prepare himself?"
4896	Would the commissioners request him to retire honourably from the high functions which he had over and over again offered to resign?
4896	he asked?
4852	And on the whole,observed the Lord Admiral,"do n''t you think that the putting an army in the field might be dispensed with for this year?
4852	How many men,he asked,"are required for garrisons in all the fortresses and cities, and for the field?"
4852	What then will become of our beautiful churches?
4852	And if not, how was it to reassert its vitality?
4852	And what authority, I pray you, have you given him?
4852	But why should I not live in peace, if we were to be friends to each other?
4852	Had that"shadowy and imaginary authority"granted to Leicester not proved substantial enough?
4852	How had they made that loan?
4852	Villiers was of the same opinion, and accordingly the councillor, in the excess of his caution, confided the secret only-- to whom?
4852	Was it strange that a man, so thirsty for power, so gluttonous of flattery, should be influenced by such passionate appeals?
4852	Was the sovereign people to wait for months, or years, before it regained its existence?
4852	What then would you more of me?
4852	Who doubts her participation in the Babington conspiracy?
4852	Who doubts that her long imprisonment in England was a violation of all law, all justice, all humanity?
4852	Who doubts that she was the centre of one endless conspiracy by Spain and Rome against the throne and life of Elizabeth?
4852	Who had been tampering with the Spaniards now?
4852	Why?
4852	he cried,"What will princes say, what will the world in general say, what will historians say, about the honour of the English nation?"
6778	What need of five hundred persons,said the latter,"to deliver a small memorial?
6778	Wherefore this new step?
6778	And wherein is it more cruel than the edicts?
6778	Could the abolition of the Inquisition, they exclaimed, lead to anything less than a complete freedom of belief?
6778	Did not the proposed"moderation"introduce an absolute impunity for all heresies?
6778	If you now suddenly desert the cause of your king will it not be universally said that you favor the conspiracy?"
6778	Is it because they have now become even more necessary than they then were?
6778	Is it not full sixteen years ago since the Emperor established it?
6778	Is it perhaps fear of the king''s anger and of its consequences that disturbs the confederates?
6778	On a general, uncertain, and vague rumor we are accused of a share in this licentiousness of the Protestant mob; but who is safe from general rumor?
6778	Since when is the Inquisition a new thing in the Netherlands?
6778	The exigency of the times called them forth, but are not those times passed?
6778	The question was whether the confederates, of whom it was now known that they intended to appear at court with a petition, should be admitted or not?
6778	To what purpose then insist on the former, the mere name of which is revolting to all the feelings of our minds?
6778	What, then, have I unwittingly either omitted or done that should render necessary this assembling in St. Truyen?
6778	When so many nations exist without it why should it be imposed on us?
6778	Where now is the promise of the league to excite no disturbances amongst the people?
6778	Where those high- sounding professions that they were ready to die at my feet rather, than offend against any of the prerogatives of the crown?
6778	Why is that now blamed, which was formerly declared right?
6778	Why should not the policy of the government adjust itself to the altered circumstances of the times?
6778	Why will we not content ourselves with the measures which have been approved of by the wisdom of such great rulers?
6778	Would not the guiding helm of conscience be lost with it?
15606	Besides that law- suits are improper for a peaceable man, what doth he derive from them? 15606 Must I also excuse myself, he asks, for not shutting my door against Martinus Ruarus, who desired to see me?
15606	My wife and I, says he, bear this misfortune like people accustomed to adversity: besides, why should we call her death a misfortune? 15606 6, cleave again to the present world, depart from the holy doctrine which was delivered, make shipwreck of a good conscience? 15606 Doth Cardinal Barbarinus, who recommended this work[491], and constantly carries it with him, favour Socinianism? 15606 February 23[220] Count Brulon came to make Grotius another visit, and asked, who sent him into France? 15606 Fortuna, quid hæres? 15606 Grotius was asked, which article of the late treaty Sweden complained of? 15606 He communicated his project to Casaubon, who highly approved it: but how shall men settle what articles are fundamental? 15606 He writes to the High Chancellor,[ 277]Chavigni asked, as by chance, whether I would see the Cardinal?
15606	How many things are there in the same Chapter of St. Matthew, which I have explained quite different from Socinus?"
15606	If we compare their writings, which of Grotius''s works can we prefer to those of Vossius?
15606	Is it his_ Aratus_?
15606	Is it his_ Notes on Martianus Capella_, written when he was but a boy?
15606	No body can be of more use to me than you: for who has more friendship for me, or better understands those matters?
15606	Qua mercede tenes mixtos in sanguine manes?
15606	Shall I return again to trifles, such as are not unworthy men of learning, and turn into Latin the Epigrams collected by Planudas?
15606	The whole is not equally correct: but what large work is not liable to the same censure?
15606	They informed the Commandant, by this time returned from Heusden, who hastened to Grotius''s wife, and asked her where she had hid her husband?
15606	What is there at present in Christendom to make us desire life?
15606	Whence could he have this idea?
15606	Will you tell me of his_ Notes on Lucan_?
15606	With what presumptuous rigour did Rivetus the Minister treat Grotius for proposing the means of peace?
15606	and ought not we to flatter ourselves that she is arrived at that happy state, which the young ought to long after as much as the old?
15606	are you the great Grotius?
15606	has not God a right to take back what he gave?
46552	''And wherefore didst thou think to commit this crime?''
46552	''Are ye, then, like the Breton folk,''he said,''who still look for the coming of Arthur?''
46552	''Then will you accept the Archduke for regent,''demanded Houthem,''and acknowledge his right to the guardianship of his son?''
46552	''What God can your master invoke to witness his oaths?''
46552	''What then would you have?''
46552	''What,''said Philippe, in feigned astonishment,''art thou not also Count of Flanders?''
46552	''Who is this person?''
46552	And what of the architects who designed, and the masons and carpenters and other craftsmen who together produced all these glorious buildings?
46552	And who shall blame them?
46552	But what of her once beautiful body?
46552	But why should the Lords of Gruthuise have secretly connected their town house with one of the ducal castles?
46552	By what right doth he torment us?''
46552	Did Peter Lanchals look like that when he was being racked in the infernal machine which he himself had invented?
46552	Did he wish that he had let the guildsmen have their way on that memorable occasion before the Bouverie gate?
46552	Had he not intended to deliver Bruges over to be pillaged by the Germans?
46552	Had he not sworn to educate his son in Flanders, and then taken him out of the county?
46552	Had not the whole devilish plot been of his hatching?
46552	Have we here the Bruges picture?
46552	How could trade flourish in face of the_ espionage_, the persecution, the bloodshed with which Philippe had been so long harassing Flanders?
46552	In a word, was he slain by the Dauphin in self- defence?
46552	Shall we, then, who know not what fear is, tremble at this man''s fierce looks?
46552	Was John the victim of his cousin''s treachery, or had he at length been taken in his own net?
46552	Was not St. Donatian''s as great as Blandinium, and were not the canons of Bruges as good men and true as the monks of Ghent?
46552	Was there no loophole?
46552	What could Guy do?
46552	What did the provost mean by taking this step without consulting their wishes?
46552	What has the love story of Bourchard d''Avesnes to do with the story of Bruges?
46552	What should they do with it?
46552	What should they do with it?
46552	What was this for?
46552	Why dwell on the woes of Neustria, laments Adroald, a monk of Fleury, why dwell on the woes of Neustria?
46552	Why not make away with him?
46552	Would the bond after all be dishonoured, and would the_ Franchosts_ submit?
46552	[ Illustration: HOSPITAL OF ST. JOHN AND SOUTH AISLE OF NOTRE DAME] But how, it will be asked, does all this concern the city on the Roya?
46552	or have we here the work of a disciple or, may be, of a rival?
44314	''N''y a- t- il pas là un doux souvenir d''un triomphe remporté par l''amour et couronné par l''hymen?
44314	''Why this tumult?
44314	And had the master- mason succeeded?
44314	And what had Myn Here Coutherele to say for himself?
44314	And what right had these men to lord it over them?
44314	And what to- day of all this splendour?
44314	And what, perhaps, it will be asked, has this farrago of modern idolatry for which space has been found to do with the Middle Age?
44314	And who were the women who were to take their place?
44314	But was he impelled by no other motive than his devotion to the Mother of God?
44314	Could he not appoint responsible ministers and rule through them?''
44314	Did his achievement equal the expectation of his fellow- burghers?
44314	Did not the poor man have to bear the heat and the burthen of the day whilst the rich were growing richer on the spoils of administration?
44314	Dierick, indeed, had not had time even to begin the others, and presently the question arose, how much of the 500 florins was due to his executors?
44314	Had Jeanne Vander Zype no foreboding of the horrible doom in store for her husband?
44314	Had not one of their preachers[8] told them that the rich man, even if he were righteous, was less worthy of esteem than the woman of the street?
44314	Hence the question arose, What should be done with the saint''s body?
44314	How could a handful of burghers drag this she- wolf from her lair?
44314	How did he accomplish this feat?
44314	How many of us, gentle reader, are of the stuff of which martyrs are made?
44314	How should he?
44314	If he could fight so well for others, why not one day fight for himself?
44314	If to slay the Jew were no sin, why not thus obtain freedom?
44314	The streets outside are cold and wet, or they are hot and dusty, and where else should these waifs seek shelter but in their Father''s house?
44314	To which class Tanchelm belonged who shall say?
44314	Was it not easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God?
44314	Was it not the people who paid the taxes, and the patricians who had the spending of them?
44314	Was she not debarred by her_ Blyde Incomst_ from alienating an inch of the Crown demesne?
44314	Was the municipal palace which he had built for them more splendid than the Brussels Town Hall?
44314	Was this man Roger''s father?
44314	Were not the oppressors of the poor the enemies of Jesus Christ?
44314	Were they not their fellow- citizens, of like birth and of like origin with themselves?
44314	What are we to think of these stupendous windows?
44314	What chance had Jacqueline of victory in face of such odds?
44314	What could she tell these fierce men?
44314	What did it all mean?
44314	What did it mean?''
44314	What if his brother Philip should return with reinforcements?
44314	What if these two should join hands?
44314	What was the mysterious business of which no mention was to be made?
44314	What would the morrow bring forth?
44314	Where on earth will you find perfection either in architecture or anything else?
44314	Wherefore, who shall say?
44314	Wherefore?
44314	Who could think of building operations amid the hubbub and whirl of rebellion?
44314	Why not repay the curs in their own coin by setting fire to their kennels?
44314	Why not wipe out the debt in the blood of the man whose fathers had shown as little pity to Christ as he himself had to them?
44314	Why this sudden flight from the world?
44314	how should she soothe their anger?
4823	As for Don Charles,he says,"was he not our future sovereign?
4823	Die, treacherous villain?
4823	I have tamed people of iron in my day,said he, contemptuously,"shall I not easily crush these men of butter?"
4823	Is he, or am I, to command in this campaign? 4823 Is the army of the Prince of Orange a flock of wild geese,"he asked,"that it can fly over rivers like the Meuse?"
4823	Is the word of a king,said the dowager to the commissioners, who were insisting upon guarantees,"is the word of a king not sufficient?"
4823	Shall I be secure there?
4823	What do you say to that, Don Francis?
4823	Whence has the Duke of Alva the power of which he boasts, but from yourselves-- from Netherland cities? 4823 --Why does not your Most Christian master,"asked Alva,"order these Frenchmen in Mons to come to him under oath to make no disturbance?
4823	A little startled, the Duke rejoined,"Do you doubt that the cities will keep their promises?
4823	From such a Regent, surrounded by such councillors, was the work of William de Nassau''s hands to gain applause?
4823	Had the city, indeed, been carried in the night; had the massacre already commenced; had all this labor and audacity been expended in vain?
4823	Has his Church therefore come to caught?
4823	Has the strong arm of the Lord thereby grown weaker?
4823	He asked the Bishop, with many expressions of amazement, whether pardon was impossible; whether delay at least might not be obtained?
4823	He waved his broadleaved felt hat for silence, and then exclaimed, in language which has been almost literally preserved, What would ye, my friends?
4823	How could the nation now consent to the daily impositions which were practised?
4823	If defeated, what would become of the King''s authority, with rebellious troops triumphant in rebellious provinces?
4823	Shall all this be destroyed by the Spanish guns, or shall we rush to the rescue of our friends?"
4823	To this end had Columbus discovered a hemisphere for Castile and Aragon, and the new Indies revealed their hidden treasures?
4823	Was William of Orange to receive absolute commands from the Duke of Alva?
4823	Were not all lovers of good government"erecting their heads like dromedaries?"
4823	Were not carnage and plunder the very elements in which they disported themselves?
4823	What could they comprehend of living fountains and of heavenly dews?
4823	What course was the Prince of Orange to adopt?
4823	What vulpine kind of mercy was it on the part of the Cardinal, while making such deadly insinuations, to recommend the imprisoned victim to clemency?
4823	What was it to them that carnage and plunder had been spared in one of the richest and most populous cities in Christendom?
4823	What were debtors, robbers, murderers, compared to heretics?
4823	What will the Duke of Alva and all the Spaniards say of such a precipitate flight?
4823	What, meanwhile, was the policy of the government?
4823	Whence his ships, supplies, money, weapons, soldiers?
4823	Who else could look into the future, and into Philip''s heart so unerringly?
4823	Who now did reverence to a King so criminal and so fallen?
4823	Why do ye murmur that we do not break our vows and surrender the city to the Spaniards?
4823	Why has poor Netherland thus become degenerate and bastard?
4823	Why has the Almighty suffered such crimes to be perpetrated in His sacred name?
4823	Why should Meghem''s loitering and mutinous troops, arriving at the eleventh hour, share in the triumph and the spoil?
4823	Will they not say that your Excellency has fled from the consciousness of guilt?
4823	You will ask why I am in Mons at the head of an armed force: are any of you ignorant of Alva''s cruelties?
4847	''Sed de modo?'' 4847 And what,"said she,"if a peace should come in the mean time?"
4847	What can we possibly advise her Majesty to do?
4847	What difference will it make,he asked,"whether we defer our action until either darkness or the General arrives?
4847	What terms will you pledge for the repayment of the monies to be advanced?
4847	Why, why did you not write yourself?
4847	Am I, then, in your opinion, forsaking you when I send you English blood, which I love, and which is my own blood, and which I am bound to defend?
4847	Burghley to Croft.--"Did you order your servant to speak with Andrea de Loo?"
4847	Burghley.--"Who bade you say, after your second return to Brussels, that you came on the part of the Queen?
4847	But was it a moment to linger?
4847	But what care I?
4847	Could they hope to see farther than that wisest and most experienced prince?
4847	Could they succeed in utterly demolishing that bulwark in the course of the day?
4847	For what have I, unhappy man, to do here either with cause or country but for you?"
4847	Had he any landed property in England?
4847	Had he really ever held any other office but that of master of the horse?
4847	How could there be doubt or supineness on such a momentous subject?
4847	How much remains beyond what they have already acquired?
4847	I doubt they will be suddenly enough awakened one day, and the cry will be,''Who''d have thought it?''
4847	If she lose these opportunities, who can look for other but dishonour and destruction?
4847	If so, how were they to be dislodged before their work was perfected?
4847	If the twain as Holland wished, had become of one flesh, would England have been the loser?
4847	Is it because she is hearkening to a peace?
4847	Should Philip administer his new kingdom by a viceroy, or should he appoint a king out of his own family?
4847	That done, what good can be accomplished by our arms?
4847	The motto,"incertum quo fate ferent"( who knows whither fate is sweeping her?)
4847	Think you I will be bound by your own speech to make no peace for mine own matters without their consent?
4847	Upon this was built a chamber of marble mason- work, forty feet long, three and a half feet broad, as many high, and with side- walks[ walls?
4847	Very well, masters, do you not think I am assisting you when I am sending you four thousand foot and four hundred horse to serve during the war?
4847	Walsingham to Bodman.--"Have you the copy still?"
4847	Was it not strange that the letter had been so long delayed?
4847	Was it possible for those envoys to imagine the almost invisible meanness of such childish tricks?
4847	Was it strange that the proud Earl should be fretting his heart away when such golden chances were eluding his grasp?
4847	Was that buckler to be suffered to fall to the ground, or to be raised only upon the arm of a doubtful and treacherous friend?
4847	What are our evangelists about in Germany?
4847	What hope of help can I have, finding her Majesty so strait with myself as she is?
4847	What machine was there that we did not employ?
4847	What now was that England?
4847	What now was the disposition and what the means of the Provinces to do their part in the contest?
4847	What now was the political position of the United Provinces at this juncture?
4847	What was his position?
4847	What was his rank, they asked, what his ability, what: his influence at court?
4847	What was his work?
4847	What were the Estates?
4847	Where now were the vehement protestations of horror that her public declaration of principles and motives had been set at nought?
4847	Who could have feared any danger to the most powerful city in the Netherlands from so moderate a besieging force?
4847	Who could reach him through that valley of death?
4847	Who ever heard before of refusing audience to public personages?
4847	Who is he that will refuse to spend his life and living in it?
4847	Why was he there?
4847	Why, if he were really of so high quality as had been reported, was he thus neglected, and at last disgraced?
4847	Would it not be better to wait till nightfall?
4847	Yet how can I do it without money?
4847	what availeth wit, when it fails the owner at greatest need?
4847	what fleets and floating citadels did we not put in motion?
4847	what miracles of fire did we not invent?
4847	would you have had me guilty of the slaughter of so many innocents, whose lives were committed to my charge, as well as the best?
4811	But if,argued the Duke of Aerschot,"the King absolutely refuse to do what you demand of him; what then?"
4811	Do you not love your wife and children?
4811	May she at least receive the sacrament of the Lord''s Supper in her own chamber, according to the Lutheran form?
4811	What is the man talking about?
4811	What, Madam,he is reported to have cried in a passion,"is it possible that your Highness can entertain fears of these beggars?
4811	Where are my dead forefathers at present?
4811	Will the Prince,asked the Landgrave,"permit my granddaughter to have an evangelical preacher in the house?"
4811	And how were they to be punished?
4811	And what was the"rigorous and exemplary justice"thus inflicted upon the"quidam?"
4811	And yet what was the Emperor Charles to the inhabitants of the Netherlands that they should weep for him?
4811	Are the sufferings of these obscure Christians beneath the dignity of history?
4811	Are these things related merely to excite superfluous horror?
4811	But who were these"other"heretics?
4811	Compared to these, what were great moral and political ideas, the plans of statesmen, the hopes of nations?
4811	Dost think thyself beyond the reach of mischief?
4811	For what purpose were these gatherings?
4811	Had it not been weakness to spare the traitors who had thus stained the childhood of the national joy at liberty regained?
4811	Had not the heretics-- in the words of Inquisitor Titelmann-- allowed themselves, year after year, to be taken and slaughtered like lambs?
4811	Hast flown to thy nest so early?
4811	How large a part of the human race were the Batavians?
4811	How were crimes like these to be visited upon the transgressor?
4811	How, indeed, could a different decision be expected?
4811	If William of Orange must seek a wife among the pagans, could no other bride be found for him than the daughter of such a man?
4811	Is it not better to deal with murder and oppression in the abstract, without entering into trivial details?
4811	Is it not obvious what manner of men they are?
4811	Should he go thence alive and unmolested?
4811	Should mercenary troops at this late hour be sent for?
4811	Should they assemble the captains of the Military associations?
4811	Should they call themselves the"Society of Concord,"the restorers of lost liberty, or by what other attractive title should the league be baptized?
4811	Should they issue a proclamation?
4811	Should they summon the ward- masters, and order the instant arming and mustering of their respective companies?
4811	The proposition was hailed with acclamation, but who should invent the hieroglyphical costume?
4811	Thereupon he gave the Elector his hand.-- What now was the amount and meaning of this promise on the part of the Prince?
4811	They have not had wisdom enough to manage their own estates, and are they now to teach the King and your Highness how to govern the country?
4811	To whom, then, was the sacred debt of national and royal gratitude due but to Lamoral of Egmont?
4811	Upon this, Brederode, beside himself with rage, cried out vehemently,"Are we to tolerate such language from this priest?"
4811	Was it more severe and sudden than that which betrayed monarchs usually inflict?
4811	Was it probable that the lethargy of provinces, which had reached so high a point of freedom only to be deprived of it at last, could endure forever?
4811	Was it strange that Orange should feel little affinity with such companions?
4811	Was it strange that a century or so of this kind of work should produce a Luther?
4811	Was it to be wondered at that many did not see the precipice towards which the bark which held their all was gliding under the same impulse?
4811	Were not these amusements of the Netherlanders as elevated and humanizing as the contemporary bull- fights and autos- da- fe of Spain?
4811	What are oaths and hostages when prerogative, and the people are contending?
4811	What can be more consistent than laws of descent, regulated by right divine?
4811	What could a single province effect, when its sister states, even liberty- loving Holland, had basely abandoned the common cause?
4811	What could be more practical or more devout than the conception?
4811	What precaution should: they take?
4811	What was it to them that the imperial shuttle was thus industriously flying to and fro?
4811	What were they in a contest with the whole Roman empire?
4811	When did one man ever civilize a people?
4811	When was France ever slow to sweep upon Italy with such a hope?
4811	Whence all this Christian meekness in the author of the Ban against Orange and the eulogist of Alva?
4811	Where else upon earth, at that day, was there half so much liberty as was thus guaranteed?
4811	Which is the most wonderful manifestation in the history of this personage-- the audacity of the impostor, or the bestiality of his victims?
4811	Who could expect to contend with such a foe in the dark?
4811	Whose arm should deal it?
4811	Why should they do so?
4811	Would not their appearance at this crisis rather inflame the rage than intimidate the insolence of the sectaries?
4811	they cried;"art thou terrified so soon?
4811	who is this boy that is preaching to me?"
4892	And a few years beyond it?
4892	As to money--"How much money have I got?
4892	For how much good will it do,said the King,"if we drive off Archduke Leopold without establishing the princes in security for the future?
4892	Fourteen millions?
4892	Ho, ho,said the Duke,"I am wanted for that affair, am I?"
4892	Sixteen?
4892	Well, preacher,rejoined Maurice,"do n''t you think I know better?"
4892	What could we desire more,wrote Aerssens to Barneveld,"than open war between France and Spain?
4892	What relatives?
4892	Why should van der Myle strut about, with his arms akimbo like a peacock?
4892	And how had the plot been revealed?
4892	And now had not Francis Aerssens been the first to communicate to his masters the fruit which had already ripened upon Henry''s grave?
4892	And to whom belonged the right of prescribing laws and ordinances of public worship, of appointing preachers, church servants, schoolmasters, sextons?
4892	Are we to preach in barns?
4892	Are you not very unhappy to live under those poor weak archdukes?
4892	Besides the sons of the Advocate, his two sons- in- law, Brederode, Seignior of Veenhuizep, and Cornelis van der Myle, were constantly employed?
4892	But should the five Points or the Seven Points obtain the mastery?
4892	But was not Gondemar ever at his elbow, and the Infanta always in the perspective?
4892	But who works like Sully?
4892	Could antagonism be more sharply defined?
4892	Could there be a better illustration of the absurdities of such a system of Imperialism?
4892	Do n''t you foresee that as soon as they die you will lose all the little you have acquired in the obedient Netherlands during the last fifty years?"
4892	Does it not seem to you a plot well woven as well in Holland as at this court to remove me from my post with disreputation?
4892	Had not Don Pedro de Toledo pompously announced this condition a year and a half before?
4892	Had not Henry spurned the bribe with scorn?
4892	Had they not had enough of the seed sown by that foe of God, Arminius?
4892	Has not the Pope intervened in the affair?
4892	He then asked if the King thought that the princes had justice on their side, and whether, if the contrary were shown, he would change his policy?
4892	How can I negotiate after my private despatches have been read?
4892	How could the Eldest Son of the Church and the chief of an unlimited monarchy make common cause with heretics and republicans against Spain and Rome?
4892	Is not the example of Julich fresh?
4892	Jeannin was present at the interview, although, as Aerssens well observed, the King required no pedagogue on such an occasion?
4892	Meantime a resolution was passed by the States of Holland"in regard to the question whether Ambassador Aerssens should retain his office, yes or no?"
4892	Was the supreme power of the Union, created at Utrecht in 1579, vested in the States- General?
4892	Were every man obliged to give a reckoning of everything he possesses over and above his hereditary estates, who in the government would pass muster?
4892	Were they now to be permitted to invade neutral territory, to violate public faith, to act under no responsibility save to their own will?
4892	What army, what combination, what device, what talisman, could save the House of Austria, the cause of Papacy, from the impending ruin?
4892	What can be more ticklish than to pass judgment on the tricks of those who are governing this state?
4892	What do you say to that?"
4892	What envoy will ever dare to speak with vigour if he is not sustained by the government at home?
4892	What had the Prince of Conde, his comings and his goings, to do with this vast enterprise?
4892	What have I done that should cause the Queen to disapprove my proceedings?
4892	What need to repeat the tragic, familiar tale?
4892	What preparations had Spain and the Empire, the Pope and the League, set on foot to beat back even for a moment the overwhelming onset?
4892	What was left for them to do except to set up a tribunal in Holland for giving laws to the whole of Northern Europe?
4892	Where would you find another king as willing to do it as I am?"
4892	Who can dispute that those interested ought to procure the execution of the treaty?
4892	Who is going to believe that?
4892	Why had Maurice opposed the treaty?
4892	Why should they of all other people be made an exception of, and be exempt from, the action of a general edict?
4892	asked the King;"a dozen millions?"
4892	do you look at the matter in that way?"
4872	But who is to bell the cat?
4872	Do you wish it sincerely?
4872	How am I to defend myself?
4872	How many are there in the garrison?
4872	How many?
4872	Is the King dead?
4872	We are travelling about like pilgrims,said Elizabeth,"but what is life but a pilgrimage?"
4872	What are you pulling at me for, mate?
4872	What more can the queen do,he observed,"than she is already doing?
4872	Where are these ships of war, of which you were speaking?
4872	Who are you, and what do you want?
4872	Who goes there?
4872	Who goes there?
4872	Will you do what I ask,demanded from the bed the voice of him who was said to be Ernest,"will you kill this tyrant?"
4872	After the envoy had taken his leave, the queen said to him in Latin,"Modicae fidei quare dubitasti?"
4872	Ambassador, what shall I say to you?
4872	And what had they got?
4872	And what was this dependence on a foreign tyrant really worth?
4872	But what was the design of the new confederacy?
4872	Can it be doubted that they will fly to arms at once, and give all their support to the King of Navarre, heretic though he be?
4872	Can we by reason even expect a good sequel to such iniquitous acts?
4872	He who has maintained and preserved you by His mercy, can you imagine that he permits you to walk alone in your utmost need?
4872	How can he hope to conquer France?
4872	How could that diplomatist reply but with polite scorn?
4872	How else can these obliquities stand with her professions of love?
4872	How else could he hope to continue his massacre of the Protestants?
4872	Is it possible that any worldly respect can efface the terror of Divine wrath?
4872	Meantime Ancel was deputed by Henry to visit the various courts of Germany and the north in order to obtain, if possible, new members for the league?
4872	Need more be said to indicate the inevitable ruin of both government and people?
4872	Renee, the sister of Bussy d''Amboise, had vowed to unite herself to a man who would avenge the assassination of her brother by the Count Montsoreau?
4872	She was somewhat in a passion, but spoke with majestic moderation?
4872	Should Maurice look calmly on while the enemy, whom he had made so painful a forced march to meet, moved off out of reach before his eyes?
4872	Should he continue in the trenches, pressing more and more closely the city already reduced to great straits?
4872	Should he fling himself upon Renty''s division which had so ostentatiously offered battle the day before?
4872	Should he throw himself across the river and rescue the place before it fell?
4872	That monarch was implored to take, the sceptre of France, and to reign over them, inasmuch as they most willingly threw themselves into his arms?
4872	The assault was then ordered?
4872	Was it anxiety lest his victorious entrance into Paris might undo the diplomacy of his catholic envoys at Rome?
4872	Was it not madness for the stadholder, at the head of eight hundred horsemen, to assail such an army as this?
4872	Was it not to invoke upon his head the swift vengeance of Heaven?
4872	Was it strange that in Philip''s reign such energy should be rewarded by wealth, rank, and honour?
4872	Was not such a labourer in the vineyard worthy of his hire?
4872	Were not children, thus ready to dismember their mother, as foul and unnatural as the mother who would divide her child?
4872	What are we all but dirt and dust?"
4872	What are your children made of more than other people''s children?
4872	What if it were found out that we were all fellow- worms together, and that those which had crawled highest were not necessarily the least slimy?
4872	What if the fearful heresy should gain ground that the People was at least as wise, honest, and brave as its masters?
4872	What if the whole theory of hereditary superiority should suddenly exhale?
4872	What matters it to them that blood flows, and that the miserable people are destroyed, who alone are good for anything?"
4872	What motive had so many princes to traverse Philip''s designs in the Netherlands, but desire to destroy the enormous power which they feared?
4872	What now were its hopes of deliverance out of this Gehenna?
4872	What should he do?
4872	When are pomp and enthusiasm not to be obtained by imperial personages, at brief notice and in vast quantities, if managers understand their business?
4872	When was ever an account of fifteen years''standing adjusted, whether between nations or individuals, without much wrangling?
4872	When were priestly flatterers ever wanting to pour this poison into the souls of tyrants?
4872	When would such an opportunity occur again?
4872	Who but the fanatical, the shallow- minded, or the corrupt could doubt the inevitable issue of the conflict?
4872	Who now should henceforth dare to say that one Spanish fighting- man was equal to five or ten Hollanders?
4872	With what chrism, by what prelate, should the consecration of Henry be performed?
4872	Yet, after all, what had he accomplished?
4872	how am I ever to get back my money?
4872	modicae fidei quare dubitasti?"
4872	she cried;"how are the affairs of Ireland to be provided for?
4872	who is to pay the garrisons of Brill and Flushing?"
4898	And if a malefactor, why not a lawyer?
4898	And my husband might come too?
4898	And suppose our ministers do preach this doctrine, is there anything strange in it, any reason why they should not do so?
4898	Are there any private letters or papers in the bog?
4898	Are we to suffer such folk here,he replied,"who preach the vile doctrine that God has created one man for damnation and another for salvation?"
4898	Did he say anything of a pardon?
4898	Did you ever hear any one preach that?
4898	Do you hear what my son says?
4898	Have you heard whether my Grotius is to die, and Hoogerbeets also?
4898	I doubt if he accepts the suggestion,said Barneveld,"unless as a notorious trick, and if he did, what good would the promise of Spinola do us?
4898	Is it possible,said the Advocate,"that so close an inspection is held over me in these last hours?
4898	Is there no cushion or stool to kneel upon?
4898	Must they see this too? 4898 Shall we go at once?"
4898	Well, Sylla,he said very calmly,"will you in these my last moments lay down the law to me as to what I shall write to my wife?"
4898	What excuse is that?
4898	What need had the sovereign states of Holland of advice from a stadholder, from their servant, their functionary?
4898	Who asks you to do so?
4898	Will you take the message?
4898	--"Has either of the brethren,"he added,"prepared a prayer to be offered outside there?"
4898	Amen?"
4898	And although he had mentioned no names, could the"eminent personages"thus cited at second hand be anybody but the Advocate?
4898	And in what way had he scandalized the government of the Republic?
4898	And what said Maurice in reply?
4898	And why?
4898	Are they thus to deal with a true patriot?
4898	But if we take refuge with the Lord God, what can this inane, worn- out man and water- bubble do to us?"
4898	But supposing that all the charges had been admitted or proved, what course would naturally be taken in consequence?
4898	But what were such good gifts in the possession of rebels, seceders, and Puritans?
4898	But what were ties of blood compared to the iron bands of religious love and hatred?
4898	But when were doctors ever wanting to prove the unlawfulness of law which interferes with the purposes of a despot and the convictions of the bigot?
4898	Can I not speak a word or two in freedom?
4898	Did not preacher Hoe''s master aspire to the crown of Bohemia himself?
4898	Did they abhor the Contra- Remonstrants whom James and his ambassador Carleton doted upon and whom Barneveld called"Double Puritans"and"Flanderizers?"
4898	Even Caron was staggered?
4898	Had not Esquire van Ostrum solemnly declared it at a tavern table?
4898	Had not the deeply injured and misunderstood Grotius already said,"If the trees we plant do not shade us, they will yet serve for our descendants?"
4898	He came back and said to the prisoner,"Has my Lord any desire to speak with his wife or children, or any of his friends?"
4898	He then added with a half- smile,"Well, what is expected of me?"
4898	How could Maximilian, sternest of Papists, and Frederick V., flightiest of Calvinists, act harmoniously in an Imperial election?
4898	How long would that policy remain sound and united?
4898	How long would the Republic speak through the imperial voice of Barneveld?
4898	If such idiotic calumnies could be believed, what patriot in the world could not be doubted?
4898	Is this my recompense for forty- three years''service to these Provinces?"
4898	La Motte asked when he had concluded,"Did my Lord say Amen?"
4898	Otherwise how could there be unanimous voting in parliament?
4898	Should I bestow as much on them as cometh to the value of my whole yearly rent?"
4898	Should I ruin myself for maintaining them?
4898	The following is all that has reference to the Prince:"Of what matters may I ordinarily write to his Excellency?"
4898	The question was,"Did you confiscate the property because the crime was lese- majesty?"
4898	Van der Veen gave him his hand, saying:"Sir, you are the man of whom the whole country is talking?"
4898	Was he not furious at the start which Heidelberg had got of him in the race for that golden prize?
4898	Was he not mad with jealousy of the Palatine, of the Palatine''s religion, and of the Palatine''s claim to"hegemony"in Germany?
4898	Was it still to deserve the name?
4898	Were these the words of a baffled conspirator and traitor?
4898	Were they uttered to produce an effect upon public opinion and avert a merited condemnation by all good men?
4898	What evidence could be more conclusive of a deep design on the part of Barneveld to sell the Republic to the Archduke and drive Maurice into exile?
4898	What is to prevent it?
4898	What liberal or healthy government would be possible otherwise?
4898	What need to pursue the barren, vulgar, and often repeated chronicle?
4898	When this was done, he said,"John, are you to stay by me to the last?"
4898	Where was the supposed centre of that intrigue?
4898	Where was this vast sum to be found?
4898	Who could dream that this departure of an almost nameless band of emigrants to the wilderness was an epoch in the world''s history?
4898	Whose name was most familiar on the lips of the Spanish partisans engaged in these secret schemes?
4898	Why should either Calvinists or Lutherans be tolerated in Styria?
4898	Why, indeed?
4898	Will my Lord please to prepare himself?"
4898	Would the commissioners request him to retire honourably from the high functions which he had over and over again offered to resign?
4898	Yet before the ink had dried in James''s pen, he was proposing that the names of the mediating sovereigns should be omitted from the document?
4898	could the Advocate-- among whose first words after hearing of his own condemnation to death were,"And must my Grotius die too?"
4898	he asked?
4898	was it united?
4898	what a man I was once, and what am I now?"
4884	And do you think yourselves more mighty than the Kings of England and France?
4884	But,said the prince,"how did you dare to enter the Hague, relying only on the word of a Beggar?"
4884	What can you do then?
4884	What indulgence do you speak of?
4884	What is your price?
4884	What terms of negotiation do you propose?
4884	Who would not confide,replied Neyen,"in the word of so exalted, so respectable a Beggar as you, O most excellent prince?"
4884	Alas will it be maintained that in the two and a half centuries which have since elapsed the world has made much progress in a higher direction?
4884	Ambassador, this time I hope that you are satisfied with me?"
4884	But has the art political kept pace with the advancement of physical science?
4884	But has the cause of modesty or humanity gained very much by the decorous fig- leaves of modern diplomacy?
4884	But of what avail were her timid little flutterings of indignation and resistance?
4884	But what if they too should begin to move?
4884	But what profit could the Duke of Lerma expect by the continuance of the Dutch war, and who in Spain was to be consulted except the Duke of Lerma?
4884	Could a more biting epigram be made upon the condition to which the nation had been reduced?
4884	Could the issue of the proposed negotiations be thought hopeful, or was another half century of warfare impending?
4884	Could you do that?"
4884	Did as plausible a pretext as that ever fail to a state ambitious of absorbing its neighbours?
4884	Do you believe that my lords the States will agree to the proposition?"
4884	Do you not believe that Prince Maurice has designs on the sovereignty, and would prevent the fulfilment of the king''s hopes?
4884	Do you think that they would give themselves to the king if he assisted them?
4884	Do you want peace or war?
4884	Do you, think you have a child to deal with?
4884	Even if I do assist the Hollanders, what wrong is that to him?
4884	If the Spaniard has designs against our State, has he not cause?
4884	Is there yet any appeal among the most civilized nations except to the logic of the largest battalions and the eloquence of the biggest guns?
4884	Maurice was thus on the wrong side of the great channel by which Sluy''s communicated with the sea?
4884	Might not a shudder come over the souls of men as coming events vaguely shaped themselves to prophetic eyes?
4884	Need men look further than to this simple fact to learn why Spain was decaying while the republic was rising?
4884	On the other hand, what good could it do to the cause of peace, that these wonderful instructions should be published throughout the republic?
4884	Should the whole army mutiny at once, what might become of the kingdom of Spain?
4884	Tell me, I pray you, what would you do for his Majesty in case anything should be done for you?
4884	The forty days, promised as the period of Neyen''s absence, were soon gone; but what were forty days, or forty times forty, at the Spanish court?
4884	Was better proof ever afforded that God alone can protect us against those whom we trust?
4884	Was it thought to bait a trap for the ingenuous Netherlanders, and catch them little by little, like so many wild animals?
4884	Was not this opening of a cheerful and pacific prospect, after a half century''s fight for liberty, a fair cause for rejoicing?
4884	Was not this reasonable and according to the elemental laws?
4884	What but failure and disaster could be expected from such astounding policy?
4884	What can you expect from them but evil fruit?"
4884	What could be more childish than such diplomacy?
4884	What could be more hopeless than such negotiations?
4884	What could the brother hope by taking the field against Maurice of Nassau and Lewis William and the Baxes and Meetkerkes?
4884	What course should he now pursue?
4884	What did Alexander, when in an arid desert they brought, him a helmet full of water?
4884	What did all this mean, it was demanded, this producing one set of propositions after another?
4884	What greater proof could be given of the incapacity of the Spanish court to learn the lesson which forty years had been teaching?
4884	What more conclusive indications could be required as to the guilt of the Moors?
4884	What more dreary than the perpetual efforts of two lines to approach each other which were mathematically incapable of meeting?
4884	What need to dilate further upon such a minister and upon such a system of government?
4884	What theology teaches your Highness to vent your wrath upon the innocent?
4884	What was a coasting- trade with Spain compared with this boundless career of adventure?
4884	What were those opinions?
4884	What will you do for us in return for our assistance?"
4884	When before had a sovereign acknowledged the independence of his rebellious subjects, and signed a treaty with them as with equals?
4884	Where should we be?
4884	Where, then, could even a loophole be found through which the possibility of a compromise could be espied?
4884	Who better than he then, in this double capacity, to coil himself around the rebellion, and to carry the olive- branch in his mouth?
4884	Who could have foretold, or even hoped, that atoms so mutually repulsive would ever have coalesced into a sympathetic and indissoluble whole?
4884	Who could measure the consequences to Christendom of such a catastrophe?
4884	Who was most dangerous to the United Provinces during those memorable peace negotiations, Spain the avowed enemy, or France the friend?
4884	Why did the archdukes not declare their intentions openly and at once?
4884	Without it, what exchequer can accept chronic warfare and escape bankruptcy?
4884	and Henry III., could stand up on the blood- stained soil of the Netherlands and plead for liberty of conscience for all mankind?
4884	asked the Italian;"will you take 200,000 ducats?"
4884	where is the golden statue?
4860	And how did his Majesty receive the blow?
4860	And may I communicate Lord Burghley''s letter to any one else?
4860	And on the whole,observed the Lord Admiral,"do n''t you think that the putting an army in the field might be dispensed with for this year?
4860	And what is the-- governor''s pleasure?
4860	And what way will you take?
4860	But how if they make war upon us?
4860	But,asked a deputy,"if the Spanish fleet does not succeed in its enterprise, will the peace- negotiations be renewed?"
4860	For who can warrant these villains from her,he said,"if that person live, or shall live any time?
4860	Has he a quarrel with any of the party? 4860 How dare you bring me a dispatch without a signature?"
4860	I sent Richardot to you yesterday,said Alexander;"did he not content you?"
4860	Sire, is the Duke of Guise your friend or enemy?
4860	To whom did he make that promise?
4860	What has come to Hollock?
4860	What man living would go to the field and have his officers divided almost into mortal quarrel? 4860 What then will become of our beautiful churches?"
4860	You are the author of the whole scheme,said Philip,"and if it, is all to vanish into space, what kind of a figure shall we cut the coming year?"
4860	After the declaration of independence and the repudiation of Philip, to whom did the sovereignty belong?
4860	And if not, how was it to reassert its vitality?
4860	And what authority, I pray you, have you given him?
4860	And wherewithal should I sustain this burthen?
4860	And why was the unfortunate Otheman thus hunted to his lair?
4860	And,"Oh, the wretched coward, the imbecile?"
4860	Beggared and outcast, with literally scarce a shirt to his back, without money to pay a corporal''s guard, how was he to maintain an army?
4860	But whose arm was daring enough for such a stroke?
4860	But why should I not live in peace, if we were to be friends to each other?
4860	Did it seem credible that the fort of Zutphen should be placed in the hands of Roland York?
4860	Do you think we came over here to spend our lives and our goods, and to leave all we have, to be thus used and thus betrayed by you?
4860	Had that"shadowy and imaginary authority"granted to Leicester not proved substantial enough?
4860	Have we not showed it to Mr. Croft, one of your own colleagues?
4860	How appeal to the violent and deeply incensed Hohenlo?
4860	How could he acknowledge his error?
4860	How could he manifest confidence in the detested Norris?
4860	How had they made that loan?
4860	How many men,"he asked,"are required for garrisons in all the fortresses and cities, and for the field?"
4860	How old were you when you first became a preacher?"
4860	If I did not wish a pacific solution, what in the world forced me to do what I have done?
4860	Is France to be saved by opening all its gates to Spain?
4860	Is France to be turned out of France, to make a lodging for the Lorrainer and the Spaniard?"
4860	Is it drawn by pencils hostile to the English nation or the English Queen?
4860	Is it strange that the Queen of England was deceived?
4860	Is there anything else you seek?"
4860	Is there no envoy from Utrecht and the other Provinces?"
4860	Is this picture exaggerated?
4860	Is this young man also a minister?"
4860	Moreover, who would not rather be a horse- keeper to her Majesty, than a captain to Barneveld or Buys?"
4860	Should not this conviction, on the part of men who had so many means of feeling the popular pulse, have given the Queen''s government pause?
4860	The Queen.--"And of the States?"
4860	The Queen.--"Are you sent only from Holland and Zeeland?
4860	The Queen.--"Then how were you sent hither?"
4860	The Queen.--"What?
4860	To the threat of being invaded, and to the advice to close his gates, he answered,"Do you see these two doors?
4860	Villiers was of the same opinion, and accordingly the councillor, in the excess of his caution, confided the secret only-- to whom?
4860	Was it strange that a man, so thirsty for power, so gluttonous of flattery, should be influenced by such passionate appeals?
4860	Was it strange that the States should be distrustful of her intentions, and, in their turn, become neglectful of their duty?
4860	Was it strange that there should be murmurs at the appointment of so dangerous a chief to guard a wavering city which had so recently been secured?
4860	Was the sovereign people to wait for months, or years, before it regained its existence?
4860	We confess what you say concerning the former requisitions and promises to be true, but when will you have done?
4860	What service doth he, Count Solms, Count Overatein, with their Almaynes, but spend treasure and consume great contributions?"
4860	What then would you more of me?
4860	What was the aspect of affairs in Germany and France?
4860	Where was Farnese?
4860	Who doubts her participation in the Babington conspiracy?
4860	Who doubts that her long imprisonment in England was a violation of all law, all justice, all humanity?
4860	Who doubts that she was the centre of one endless conspiracy by Spain and Rome against the throne and life of Elizabeth?
4860	Who had been tampering with the Spaniards now?
4860	Who were the people when the educated classes and the working classes were thus carefully eliminated?
4860	Whose but that of the Devonshire skipper who had already accomplished so much?
4860	Why did not they formally offer the sovereignty of the Provinces to the Queen without conditions?
4860	Why?
4860	Without the sanction of all the United States, of what value was the declaration of Utrecht?
4860	he cried,"What will princes say, what will the world in general say, what will historians say, about the honour of the English nation?"
4860	when should she serve,"said the Admiral,"if not at such a time as this?
4835	And what becomes, then, of their promises?
4835	And what do you mean to do in the matter?
4835	And what reason have we to hope,cried the Prince,"that your pledges, if made; will be redeemed?
4835	And what,asked a deputy, smoothly,"is the point which touches you most nearly?
4835	Are we to have a Paris massacre, a Paris blood- bath here in the Netherland capital? 4835 But,"asked Schetz,"what security do you offer us that you will yourselves maintain the Pacification?"
4835	But,replied the Prince,"if we are already accomplishing the Pacification, what more do you wish?"
4835	Do you think this can be put down?
4835	Expende Hannibalem: quot libras in duce summo Invenies?..........
4835	Of what particular point do you complain?
4835	Rather a desperate undertaking, however?
4835	So that you do n''t mean,replied Schetz,"to accept the decision of the states?"
4835	Tell me,he cried,"by whose command Cardinal Granvelle administered poison to the Emperor Maximilian?
4835	War?
4835	What is your own opinion on the whole affair?
4835	Wherein has the Pacification been violated?
4835	You do n''t mean, then,repeated Schetz,"to submit to the estates touching the exercise of religion?"
4835	Are the waves of the sea more inconstant-- is Euripus more uncertain than the counsels of such men?"
4835	Are we to have Paris weddings in Brussels also?"
4835	By what means will it be possible for the government fully to give you contentment?"
4835	Can you give me another?
4835	Could Philip or Alva have found in the wide world men to execute their decrees with more unhesitating docility, with more sympathizing eagerness?
4835	Did not Louis of Nassau nearly entrap the Grand Commander?
4835	For why have I exposed my property?
4835	Governments given by royal commission, for example; what point could be clearer?
4835	Had he not discharged the Spaniards, placed the castles in the hands of natives, restored the privileges, submitted to insults and indecencies?
4835	Had he not done all he had ever promised?
4835	Had not a handful of warriors of their own race rifled the golden Indies?
4835	Had not cannon thundered and beacons blazed to commemorate that auspicious event?
4835	Had not the Pope and his cardinals gone to church in solemn procession, to render thanks unto God for the massacre of Paris?
4835	Had not the redoubtable Alva been nearly made a captive?
4835	Had not their fathers, few in number, strong in courage and discipline, revelled in the plunder of a new world?
4835	Had not they fought within the bowels of the earth, beneath the depths of the sea, within blazing cities, and upon fields of ice?
4835	Had the creed of Luther been embraced only for such unworthy ends?
4835	Had they not done the work of demons for nine years long?
4835	Had they not eaten the flesh, and drank the hearts''blood of their enemies?
4835	Had they not slaughtered unarmed human beings by townfuls, at the word of command?
4835	Had they not stained the house of God with wholesale massacre?
4835	His name, and of what family?
4835	How could Don John refuse the wager of battle thus haughtily proffered?
4835	How else could these enormous successes be accounted for?
4835	How else could thousands fall before the Spanish swords, while hardly a single Spanish corpse told of effectual resistance?
4835	How should Parma, seeing this obscures undersized, thin- bearded, runaway clerk before him, expect pith and energy from him?
4835	If so much had been done by Holland and Zealand, how much more might be hoped when all the provinces were united?
4835	If so, was he willing to approve that treaty in all its articles?
4835	In whose- name and by what authority did they act against the sovereign?
4835	O, have you been in Brabant, fighting for the states?
4835	O, have you brought back anything except your broken pates?
4835	Others asked him how long since he had sold himself to the Devil?
4835	The Prince asked his sanguine partisan if he were still determined to carry out his project, with no more definite support than he had indicated?
4835	The castle was carried, but what would become of the city?
4835	They had, in reality, asked him but one question, and that a simple one-- Would he maintain the treaty of Ghent?
4835	Was a people not justified in rising against authority when all their laws had been trodden under foot,"not once only, but a million of times?"
4835	Was he not himself the mark of obloquy among the Reformers, because of his leniency to Catholics?
4835	Was he ready to dismiss his troops at once, and by land, the sea voyage being liable to too many objections?
4835	Was he satisfied that the Ghent Pacification contained nothing conflicting with the Roman religion and the King''s authority?
4835	Was it astonishing that murder was more common than fidelity?
4835	Was it not a diplomatic masterpiece, that from this frugal store they could contrive to eke out seven mortal months of negotiation?
4835	Was it possible, then, for William of Orange to sustain the Perpetual Edict, the compromise with Don John?
4835	Was it strange that hatred, incest, murder, should follow in the train of a wedding thus hideously solemnized?
4835	Was it that I might enrich myself?
4835	Was it that I might find new; ones?
4835	Was it to be tolerated that base, pacific burghers should monopolize the treasure by which a band of heroes might be enriched?
4835	Was that hypocrisy?
4835	What altar and what hearthstone had they not profaned?
4835	What chance had the impetuous and impatient young hero in such an encounter with the foremost statesman of the age?
4835	What could half- armed artisans achieve in the open plain against such accomplished foes?
4835	What could such half- armed and wholly untrained partisans effect against the bravest and most experienced troops in the whole world?
4835	What element had they not braved?
4835	What fatigue, what danger, what crime, had ever checked them for a moment?
4835	What have you to fear?"
4835	What holier triumph for the conqueror of the Saracens than the subjugation of these northern infidels?
4835	What is it that your Excellency most desires?
4835	What obstacle had ever given them pause in their career of duty?
4835	What service had he to render in exchange?
4835	What was his position at the moment?
4835	What was to be done?
4835	What, then, was the condition of the nation, after this great step had been taken?
4835	Where was the work which had been too dark and bloody for their performance?
4835	Where was this hereditary chief magistrate to be found?
4835	Whereupon cried Desiring Heart, Oh Common Comfort who is he?
4835	Whom were they to trust?
4835	Why have I left my son so long a prisoner?
4835	Why have I lost my brothers?
4835	Why have I put my life so often in, danger?
4835	Why should not the Antwerp executioners claim equal commendation?
4835	Why then was it not competent to other provinces, with equal allegiance to the treaty, to sanction the Reformed religion within their limits?
4835	Would it not be better, then, that the poor man, to avoid starvation, should wait no longer, but accept bread wherever he might find it?
4835	cried the Prince,"what are you afraid of?
4835	how the devil came you to send that courier to Rome about the English plot without giving me warning?"
4835	said the Prince, looking gravely at Ryhove;"but upon what force do you rely for your undertaking?"
4835	you whom I esteem as my father, can you suspect me of such guilt?
43086	And how, with or without you, has he been honoured? 43086 And now, gentlemen, if we put the question_ qui prodest_?
43086	In continuing the endowment of Niederfullbach and other creations of this gifted benefactor? 43086 Misfortune?"
43086	This is Mary,said he;"what do you think of her?"
43086	What? 43086 --(for he was_ summus episcopus_)--or as an admiral, or as the leader of an orchestra?"
43086	Ah, poor miserable humanity, so full of evil yourself that you see nothing but evil in others, what was my crime?
43086	Am I guilty for having been deceived and plundered?
43086	Am I guilty in the real meaning of morality and freedom?
43086	Am I guilty of having struggled, of having remained faithful to fidelity, and of having resisted the efforts to overthrow me?
43086	Am I guilty of the selfishness of my sisters-- one the victim of narrow- mindedness, the other the victim of political schemes?
43086	And how shall I describe that amazingly cold glance which she was wo nt to cast over the family circle?
43086	And if he had reigned?
43086	And this influence, how could they possibly understand it?
43086	As a reasoning being, would she have considered herself free from all obligations towards the unfortunate children of the giver of these gifts?
43086	Be that as it may, am I guilty of having voluntarily abandoned my country or of ceasing to love it?
43086	Between love as we conceive it and love as we experience it, is there not very often an abyss?
43086	But I asked myself, why did the Queen never leave the archangel and me alone?
43086	But after this, of what follies would Rudolph not be guilty?
43086	But could I really have done so?
43086	But for what motives?
43086	But of what interest would that be?
43086	But was this possible?
43086	But we, but I... truly, where is the crime?
43086	But what of the rest?
43086	But what signal?
43086	But where are the fairies now and where are the beasts who know how to talk?
43086	But who among us does not stumble, and which of us does not disregard the fact that Divine law is essentially a human law?
43086	But who first taught me them?
43086	But why did she not dance instead of relating stories?
43086	But why should not those who were guilty of an immoral and cowardly policy be the only ones to expiate their faults?
43086	But why should the King have wished to disinherit his daughters and deprive them of his immense accumulation of wealth?
43086	But, truly, whom does one deceive, and by whom is one deceived?
43086	By''Kophte''(?)."
43086	Can I go down to the grave, misunderstood and slandered?
43086	Can I grow old without obeying the duty to defend the truth, which has been so outraged by my enemies?
43086	Can she rightly and peacefully enjoy that which has been unjustly obtained, or more or less greedily seized by her?
43086	Can they, without pain, remember yesterday?
43086	Can you imagine what he who wrote''Man is only great according to the Heaven which is within himself''would think of you?
43086	Could such a thing be possible?
43086	Could they not just as well have proclaimed me a Turk or a Chinese had he possessed estates in Turkey or China?
43086	Did he indeed juggle with the Prince of Evil, and did he acquire thereby the dominating spirit which became so strong in him?
43086	Did he seek some kind of brain stimulant in these practices, under the action of which, I believe, auto- suggestion becomes dangerous?
43086	Do they not remember what they said, wrote and published?
43086	Do they not understand what they do?
43086	Do you not know how to waltz?"
43086	Do you seriously contemplate leading my daughter to the altar without having that dreadful nose of yours attended to?"
43086	Do you understand?"
43086	Doubtless his mind, like that of the Queen, had been poisoned-- was he, too, not certain of the count''s guilt?
43086	For what ends?
43086	Had he the same idea which he had once explained to me openly at dinner, and which he emphasized privately in another way?
43086	Had it the effect of Orpheus''s lute?
43086	Had they come to attack me?
43086	Had they, perhaps, come to rescue me?
43086	Has Belgium no conscience?
43086	Has not Belgium everything to gain by being bi- lingual and by serving as an intermediary between the Latin and the German countries?
43086	Have I been found wanting in affection and respect towards my parents?
43086	Have you read Goethe?
43086	He might have said like Fouquet:"Quo non ascendam?"
43086	He replied, looking at me most strangely:"What would be the use of coming to see you?"
43086	How could they doubt but that I was wisely going to try and have a long sleep?
43086	How could this be doubted?
43086	How many of my relations or friends can contradict this to- day?
43086	How was I to do all this without arousing suspicion?
43086	How would he take my flight?
43086	I ask myself how I could have resisted so long?
43086	I asked him:"When will you come and see me?
43086	I asked myself in cold blood, was I not really becoming mad-- was I still mistress of my reason?
43086	If this had been the case, would Belgium have indemnified his children at his death?
43086	If this had occurred nowadays, when women dress in transparencies which are as scanty as possible, what would not one have seen?
43086	Is it logical that the King''s children should be objects of indifference to him?
43086	Is not that foolish?
43086	Is this my fault?
43086	It has been said to us, and to me especially:"What?
43086	Less than Alsace and Luxembourg but nevertheless a little like them, should she not benefit by the two diverse cultures?
43086	My sister''s signature was a forgery and added afterwards, but by whom and why?
43086	Of having left my husband and my children?
43086	Of what then am I guilty?
43086	Of what was I actually guilty?
43086	Oh, noble friend, what has not the howling and monstrous beast of hatred said of you?
43086	Oh, the irony of the banal question:"Have you anything to declare?"
43086	On the contrary, what had I_ not_ to declare?
43086	Ought she not to have assumed another line of conduct on behalf of myself and my sisters?
43086	Shall I ever know, will you ever know, the meaning of rest otherwise than the last rest which is the lot of mankind?
43086	Shall I say that my thoughts go out to her in prayer?
43086	Sire, we can have confidence in the future...."Can not I, must I not, also, have faith in the future?
43086	Was I not to my sisters the adoring eldest sister who loved and cherished them?
43086	Was I to be allowed to inherit such a fortune, which I was sure to surrender into inimical hands, and which would then be squandered?
43086	Was he not to carry a sword?
43086	Was it not better to circulate money and assist trade?
43086	Was it right and moral of Belgium to associate herself with this inhuman error and this illegality?
43086	Was my action then unjustifiable?
43086	Was the archduke offended at a little plain speaking?
43086	Was this a mute evidence of the King''s remembrance, or the fidelity of some old servants?
43086	Were they, by chance, officers?
43086	What could I do, alone in my madhouse, deprived of help and liberty?
43086	What do I say-- a stranger?
43086	What doctors,_ mon Dieu_?
43086	What might I not have become without the memory of the Queen and without the help of God?
43086	What remains to be said?
43086	What should I decide to do, what should I attempt?
43086	What sort of love inspired him?
43086	What was I to do with him?
43086	What woman has not?
43086	What would happen to innocent prisoners if they were deprived of the pleasures of Hope?
43086	What?
43086	When the Queen received the news of my birth her first question was:"Has she small ears?"
43086	Where is the monument erected to his memory?
43086	Where should I be if I allowed myself to evoke the shades of many of those whom I have known during my lifetime?
43086	Who knows-- who will ever know-- what actually passed in her mind?
43086	Why, then, do you forge weapons which, when the moment is ripe, you will blush to use?
43086	Will earthly justice ever render unto us the hoped- for reparations?
43086	Will he keep silent, or will he speak?
43086	Will it be possible for us to remain outlawed from the truth, and crushed by the abuse of power and human wickedness?
43086	Would they agree to submit their judgments to the final verdict of a tribunal composed of jurists from countries friendly to Belgium?
43086	You are complaining?
43086	_ He will not be alone._ What can we do?"
4899	And a few years beyond it?
4899	And if a malefactor, why not a lawyer?
4899	And my husband might come too?
4899	And suppose our ministers do preach this doctrine, is there anything strange in it, any reason why they should not do so?
4899	Are there any private letters or papers in the bog?
4899	Are we to suffer such folk here,he replied,"who preach the vile doctrine that God has created one man for damnation and another for salvation?"
4899	As to money--"How much money have I got?
4899	Did he say anything of a pardon?
4899	Did you ever hear any one preach that?
4899	Do you hear what my son says?
4899	For how much good will it do,said the King,"if we drive off Archduke Leopold without establishing the princes in security for the future?
4899	Fourteen millions?
4899	Have you heard whether my Grotius is to die, and Hoogerbeets also?
4899	Ho, ho,said the Duke,"I am wanted for that affair, am I?"
4899	I doubt if he accepts the suggestion,said Barneveld,"unless as a notorious trick, and if he did, what good would the promise of Spinola do us?
4899	Is it possible,said the Advocate,"that so close an inspection is held over me in these last hours?
4899	Is there no cushion or stool to kneel upon?
4899	Must they see this too? 4899 Shall we go at once?"
4899	Sixteen?
4899	Well, Sylla,he said very calmly,"will you in these my last moments lay down the law to me as to what I shall write to my wife?"
4899	Well, preacher,rejoined Maurice,"do n''t you think I know better?"
4899	What could we desire more,wrote Aerssens to Barneveld,"than open war between France and Spain?
4899	What excuse is that?
4899	What need had the sovereign states of Holland of advice from a stadholder, from their servant, their functionary?
4899	What relatives?
4899	Who asks you to do so?
4899	Why should van der Myle strut about, with his arms akimbo like a peacock?
4899	Will you take the message?
4899	--"Has either of the brethren,"he added,"prepared a prayer to be offered outside there?"
4899	Amen?"
4899	And although he had mentioned no names, could the"eminent personages"thus cited at second hand be anybody but the Advocate?
4899	And how had the plot been revealed?
4899	And in what way had he scandalized the government of the Republic?
4899	And now had not Francis Aerssens been the first to communicate to his masters the fruit which had already ripened upon Henry''s grave?
4899	And to whom belonged the right of prescribing laws and ordinances of public worship, of appointing preachers, church servants, schoolmasters, sextons?
4899	And what said Maurice in reply?
4899	And why?
4899	Are they thus to deal with a true patriot?
4899	Are we to preach in barns?
4899	Are you not very unhappy to live under those poor weak archdukes?
4899	Besides the sons of the Advocate, his two sons- in- law, Brederode, Seignior of Veenhuizep, and Cornelis van der Myle, were constantly employed?
4899	But if we take refuge with the Lord God, what can this inane, worn- out man and water- bubble do to us?"
4899	But should the five Points or the Seven Points obtain the mastery?
4899	But supposing that all the charges had been admitted or proved, what course would naturally be taken in consequence?
4899	But was not Gondemar ever at his elbow, and the Infanta always in the perspective?
4899	But what were such good gifts in the possession of rebels, seceders, and Puritans?
4899	But what were ties of blood compared to the iron bands of religious love and hatred?
4899	But when were doctors ever wanting to prove the unlawfulness of law which interferes with the purposes of a despot and the convictions of the bigot?
4899	But who works like Sully?
4899	Can I not speak a word or two in freedom?
4899	Could antagonism be more sharply defined?
4899	Could there be a better illustration of the absurdities of such a system of Imperialism?
4899	Did not preacher Hoe''s master aspire to the crown of Bohemia himself?
4899	Did they abhor the Contra- Remonstrants whom James and his ambassador Carleton doted upon and whom Barneveld called"Double Puritans"and"Flanderizers?"
4899	Do n''t you foresee that as soon as they die you will lose all the little you have acquired in the obedient Netherlands during the last fifty years?"
4899	Does it not seem to you a plot well woven as well in Holland as at this court to remove me from my post with disreputation?
4899	Even Caron was staggered?
4899	Had not Don Pedro de Toledo pompously announced this condition a year and a half before?
4899	Had not Esquire van Ostrum solemnly declared it at a tavern table?
4899	Had not Henry spurned the bribe with scorn?
4899	Had not the deeply injured and misunderstood Grotius already said,"If the trees we plant do not shade us, they will yet serve for our descendants?"
4899	Had they not had enough of the seed sown by that foe of God, Arminius?
4899	Has not the Pope intervened in the affair?
4899	He came back and said to the prisoner,"Has my Lord any desire to speak with his wife or children, or any of his friends?"
4899	He then added with a half- smile,"Well, what is expected of me?"
4899	He then asked if the King thought that the princes had justice on their side, and whether, if the contrary were shown, he would change his policy?
4899	How can I negotiate after my private despatches have been read?
4899	How could Maximilian, sternest of Papists, and Frederick V., flightiest of Calvinists, act harmoniously in an Imperial election?
4899	How could the Eldest Son of the Church and the chief of an unlimited monarchy make common cause with heretics and republicans against Spain and Rome?
4899	How long would that policy remain sound and united?
4899	How long would the Republic speak through the imperial voice of Barneveld?
4899	If such idiotic calumnies could be believed, what patriot in the world could not be doubted?
4899	Is not the example of Julich fresh?
4899	Is this my recompense for forty- three years''service to these Provinces?"
4899	Jeannin was present at the interview, although, as Aerssens well observed, the King required no pedagogue on such an occasion?
4899	La Motte asked when he had concluded,"Did my Lord say Amen?"
4899	Meantime a resolution was passed by the States of Holland"in regard to the question whether Ambassador Aerssens should retain his office, yes or no?"
4899	Otherwise how could there be unanimous voting in parliament?
4899	Should I bestow as much on them as cometh to the value of my whole yearly rent?"
4899	Should I ruin myself for maintaining them?
4899	The following is all that has reference to the Prince:"Of what matters may I ordinarily write to his Excellency?"
4899	The question was,"Did you confiscate the property because the crime was lese- majesty?"
4899	Van der Veen gave him his hand, saying:"Sir, you are the man of whom the whole country is talking?"
4899	Was he not furious at the start which Heidelberg had got of him in the race for that golden prize?
4899	Was he not mad with jealousy of the Palatine, of the Palatine''s religion, and of the Palatine''s claim to"hegemony"in Germany?
4899	Was it still to deserve the name?
4899	Was the supreme power of the Union, created at Utrecht in 1579, vested in the States- General?
4899	Were every man obliged to give a reckoning of everything he possesses over and above his hereditary estates, who in the government would pass muster?
4899	Were these the words of a baffled conspirator and traitor?
4899	Were they now to be permitted to invade neutral territory, to violate public faith, to act under no responsibility save to their own will?
4899	Were they uttered to produce an effect upon public opinion and avert a merited condemnation by all good men?
4899	What army, what combination, what device, what talisman, could save the House of Austria, the cause of Papacy, from the impending ruin?
4899	What can be more ticklish than to pass judgment on the tricks of those who are governing this state?
4899	What do you say to that?"
4899	What envoy will ever dare to speak with vigour if he is not sustained by the government at home?
4899	What evidence could be more conclusive of a deep design on the part of Barneveld to sell the Republic to the Archduke and drive Maurice into exile?
4899	What had the Prince of Conde, his comings and his goings, to do with this vast enterprise?
4899	What have I done that should cause the Queen to disapprove my proceedings?
4899	What is to prevent it?
4899	What liberal or healthy government would be possible otherwise?
4899	What need to pursue the barren, vulgar, and often repeated chronicle?
4899	What need to repeat the tragic, familiar tale?
4899	What preparations had Spain and the Empire, the Pope and the League, set on foot to beat back even for a moment the overwhelming onset?
4899	What was left for them to do except to set up a tribunal in Holland for giving laws to the whole of Northern Europe?
4899	When this was done, he said,"John, are you to stay by me to the last?"
4899	Where was the supposed centre of that intrigue?
4899	Where was this vast sum to be found?
4899	Where would you find another king as willing to do it as I am?"
4899	Who can dispute that those interested ought to procure the execution of the treaty?
4899	Who could dream that this departure of an almost nameless band of emigrants to the wilderness was an epoch in the world''s history?
4899	Who is going to believe that?
4899	Whose name was most familiar on the lips of the Spanish partisans engaged in these secret schemes?
4899	Why had Maurice opposed the treaty?
4899	Why should either Calvinists or Lutherans be tolerated in Styria?
4899	Why should they of all other people be made an exception of, and be exempt from, the action of a general edict?
4899	Why, indeed?
4899	Will my Lord please to prepare himself?"
4899	Would the commissioners request him to retire honourably from the high functions which he had over and over again offered to resign?
4899	Yet before the ink had dried in James''s pen, he was proposing that the names of the mediating sovereigns should be omitted from the document?
4899	asked the King;"a dozen millions?"
4899	could the Advocate-- among whose first words after hearing of his own condemnation to death were,"And must my Grotius die too?"
4899	do you look at the matter in that way?"
4899	he asked?
4899	was it united?
4899	what a man I was once, and what am I now?"
51716	Do you suppose,said a German at Louvain,"that we''ve got time to make inquiries?"
51716	If God be for us, who can be against us? 51716 What displeases them?"
51716	Who are you?
51716	Why,our adversaries ask us,"did you not accept the proposals of Germany?
51716	Why,say the Germans,"do not Belgian employés return to their work, since our military trains would in any case be run by our own men?"
51716	You say that a good cause sanctifies even war? 51716 [ 36] Did the Germans make any attempt to reply to the denial?
51716	_ What shall we say of the accusations made against Belgian civilians? 51716 (_ c_) How did these brothers, who read no newspapers and never spoke, know of the existence of dirigibles? 51716 (_ g_) Since when have the Jesuit convents owned farms, etc., or been equipped with hay- forks, manure- forks, spades, hay- carts, etc.? 51716 ***** What, then, were the real reasons for invading our country? 51716 A provocation of what or whom? 51716 After that, who can doubt that systematic lying forms part of the duties of an officer towards his men? 51716 And what did really happen in the other two communes mentioned? 51716 And what was the result of our courtesy? 51716 And when they were at last sent home, how were they treated? 51716 Are the engagements of the Berlin Government anything more than so many scraps of paper, which may with impunity be declared null and void? 51716 Are there no cross- roads leading to the windmill? 51716 Are they assailed unexpectedly by soldiers of the enemy''s army? 51716 Are they not rather spiritless courtiers, we might almost say like the sheep of Panurge? 51716 Are we then going to vote this formidable war- tax? 51716 But can they really be sincere? 51716 But was it in France that this review took place, during the present war? 51716 But what? 51716 But why was so credulous and so suggestible a person selected to search out and punishfrancs- tireurs"?
51716	By what name shall we call the German''s sense of superiority over all other nations: is it pride, presumption, or impudence?
51716	By whom?
51716	Can we doubt after this that phrases have been suppressed in this portion of the document?
51716	Certain communes permitted themselves the malicious delight of inquiring of the Germans whether they must recall the pupils for the 8th of April?
51716	Could candour in perfidy go any farther?
51716	Could one imagine a finer example of preconceived opinion?
51716	Did part of this go to the spy?
51716	Did the Germans at least show the consideration which the slave- dealers used to show for their black cargo?
51716	Did the raid really take place?
51716	Do not the Germans realize how utterly this practice is contrary to the humane principles enjoined by Article 4 of the Hague Convention?
51716	Do these paladins of tact and delicacy show any greater respect for our Queen?
51716	Do you not agree that a cynicism so shameless is a sign of perplexity and an admission of impotence?
51716	Does Herr Nissen really doubt the sincerity of our anti- German manifestations?
51716	Does not this simple fact reveal the habitual squeezing to which our poor country is subjected?
51716	Does this mean that we believe in the story of civilians attacking the German army?
51716	Does this mean that we excuse the fishers in troubled waters who sacked the German shops?
51716	Finally, one may ask what the gunners are aiming at on this seashore, with their small gun?
51716	For that matter, how could they have disavowed the thefts of their men, seeing that they themselves largely took part in the scramble?
51716	Had he at least the excuse of believing what he said?
51716	Had he seen it first?)
51716	Had our butchers renounced their attempts at terrorization?
51716	Has their Press for that reason ceased to make use of it?
51716	Hatred?
51716	Have any French troops passed this way?
51716	Have there been cases of repression?
51716	Have they any artillery?
51716	Have they never seen the train- loads of"war- booty"entering Germany?
51716	Have you seen cavalry too?
51716	He came up to me and asked:"Why are you here?"
51716	He turned to the soldiers and asked, pointing to each of us:"Did that one fire?"
51716	How could they have imagined that"the civilized world"would accept their affirmations and their denials?
51716	How else can we conceive that soldiers would post themselves in a garden and thence fire their rifles into the streets?
51716	How many civil prisoners were there in the various camps of Germany: Celle, Gutersloh, Magdeburg, Münster, Salzwedel, Cassel, Senne, Soltau, etc.?
51716	How many guns?
51716	How many officers, roughly speaking?
51716	How then can any one believe that the French were massed close to our frontier as early as 3rd August?
51716	How to obtain their submission?
51716	How was it to be effected?
51716	How were our German bumpkins going to make this much too subtle distinction between provocative and non- provocative display?
51716	How will it end?
51716	In all logic, was it not Belgium that was in a state of legitimate defence; was it not for Belgium that all means were good?
51716	In other words, was she sincere in declaring that she knew that France was on the point of invading Belgium?
51716	Is it an ineradicable spirit of falsehood?
51716	Is it as pastors that they stand forth as the stern defenders of the rights of truth?
51716	Is it not a matter of public notoriety that a contract is merely a scrap of paper?
51716	Is it not obvious that if our railway- men resumed their labours they would at the same time facilitate the transport of German troops and munitions?
51716	Is it not obvious that such pitiful psychologists as the Germans will resort to intimidation to reduce this population to their mercy?
51716	Is it not typical and delightful, this German cult of the"souvenir"as a veneer of sentimentality on a basis of rapacity?
51716	Is this incurable blindness?
51716	Leman according to which the German troops have never ill- treated priests( p. 72), nor touched the property of the Church?
51716	Let us now ask if Germany had such suspicions of France as amounted to a semi- certitude?
51716	Moreover, where and how could the discs of fulminating cotton have been procured?
51716	Must they not plough and sow, under penalty of preparing for themselves another year of wretchedness?
51716	Need we add that the wine- cellars were always methodically exploited?
51716	None of these theories is new: how often does a German develop a_ new_ theory?
51716	None: why attempt the impossible?
51716	Note that the Wolff Agency reported only 10,000 prisoners; where did Major Scheunemann find the other 11,000?
51716	Now the priests had been prisoners since 2.0 o''clock of the afternoon; how then could they have ascended the tower at 5.30 p.m.?
51716	Now what is meant by this"pretended danger"?
51716	Now, how are the parents guilty, if their son intends at all costs to fulfil his obligations to his native country?
51716	Of course, it did not keep its engagements; for what engagement did our enemies ever keep?
51716	Of their national sentiment?
51716	On which side is the right?
51716	One of these, entitled_ What is the Cause of the Severity of the War?_ is curious for more reasons than one.
51716	Or does it make an effort to procure foreign publications?
51716	P. 176-- Is this village occupied by the French?
51716	P. 177-- Has the village been placed in a state of defence?
51716	Pretended by whom?
51716	Roughly?
51716	Shall we take another example of duplicity?
51716	Should we really classify them under the heading of"falsehoods"?
51716	Sir, where does this road lead?
51716	THE"REPRISALS AGAINST FRANCS- TIREURS"63 Murders Committed by the Germans from the Outset-- Were there any"Francs- tireurs?"
51716	The expenditure might be a minor matter, but what of the waste of time?
51716	The first question which occurs to us is: Was France really preparing to cross our territory, and had she massed troops near our frontier?
51716	Then there are useful cruelties?
51716	This is very vague as to the political relations between the two countries: are they at war, or are they not?
51716	Through lack of conscience or insolence?
51716	Two or three companies?
51716	Was he sincere?
51716	Was it not necessary to prevent the Belgians from going to join the Allies in the direction of Flanders?
51716	Was the summary honest?
51716	Was the tribunal authentic, or was it merely a parody?
51716	Well, and what of ours, which the Governor- General was not asking us to renounce?
51716	Were the béguines perhaps"francs- tireurs"?
51716	What are we to think of Baron von der Goltz, whose proclamations state that the innocent and guilty will be punished without distinction?
51716	What can the army do with raw cotton, wools, spun cotton, nickel, jute, etc.?
51716	What did the Germans do then?
51716	What did the Germans do?
51716	What did the Germans mean by that?
51716	What do we see?
51716	What does official Germany say upon this point?
51716	What guarantee have they that the locomotives will not serve to transport German troops, or munitions intended to kill our brothers?
51716	What is an army of occupation?
51716	What is roughly their composition?
51716	What of it?
51716	What other horrors shall we learn of when tongues are again unloosed?
51716	What truth was there in the last assertion?
51716	What was to be done in such a case?
51716	What was to be done?
51716	What weight would not these revelations have lent to his arguments?
51716	What were the Germans to do now?
51716	What were the rights of our enemies in these exceptional cases?
51716	What will the superficial reader conclude if he does not take the trouble to dissect the telegrams?
51716	What would Herr Schmidt say if he knew that it was his own countrymen who, in a fit of shameless cynicism, caused this inscription to be renovated?
51716	What, then, is the conclusion forced upon us?
51716	What, then, is the meaning of the first telegram posted in Brussels-- that of the 25th August, in which no mention of the burgomaster occurs?
51716	When did the troops arrive there?
51716	Where is your pocket- book?
51716	Which, then, are those that our persecutors forbid?
51716	Who is"we?"
51716	Why did they expel Justice?
51716	Why not to Tamines?
51716	Why then does he persist in asserting that England would not have intervened had France been the country to violate our neutrality?
51716	Why this opposition to a faithful search for the truth?
51716	Why was the ceremony suppressed?
51716	Why, then, do the Germans profess to be annoyed when compared to- day with the soldiers of Attila-- or when their motto is spelt_ Gott mit Huns_?
51716	Why?
51716	Will they ever recover from such an experience?
51716	Would it have been astonishing if the Belgians, exasperated by this unspeakable aggression, had seized their rifles?
51716	Would it not be preferable to exploit Belgium scientifically, so as to make her yield as much as possible?
51716	Would they report the two incidents, making as little of them as possible, or would they keep silence?
51716	Would you have proof?
51716	_ German Admission of the Innocence of the Civil Prisoners._ What crime had these unhappy folk committed to be treated in so terrible a fashion?
51716	_ The Abolition of Free Discussion in Germany._ What am I saying?
51716	_ Treatment of Civil Prisoners._ What was done with the men not killed?
51716	should the Belgians and the British have waited until the Germans were in Belgium before thinking of measures of defence?
4836	And what becomes, then, of their promises?
4836	And what do you mean to do in the matter?
4836	And what reason have we to hope,cried the Prince,"that your pledges, if made; will be redeemed?
4836	And what,asked a deputy, smoothly,"is the point which touches you most nearly?
4836	Are we to have a Paris massacre, a Paris blood- bath here in the Netherland capital? 4836 As for Don Charles,"he says,"was he not our future sovereign?
4836	But if,argued the Duke of Aerschot,"the King absolutely refuse to do what you demand of him; what then?"
4836	But,asked Schetz,"what security do you offer us that you will yourselves maintain the Pacification?"
4836	But,replied the Prince,"if we are already accomplishing the Pacification, what more do you wish?"
4836	Die, treacherous villain?
4836	Do you not love your wife and children?
4836	Do you think this can be put down?
4836	Expende Hannibalem: quot libras in duce summo Invenies?.
4836	I have tamed people of iron in my day,said he, contemptuously,"shall I not easily crush these men of butter?"
4836	Is he, or am I, to command in this campaign? 4836 Is the army of the Prince of Orange a flock of wild geese,"he asked,"that it can fly over rivers like the Meuse?"
4836	Is the word of a king,said the dowager to the commissioners, who were insisting upon guarantees,"is the word of a king not sufficient?"
4836	May she at least receive the sacrament of the Lord''s Supper in her own chamber, according to the Lutheran form?
4836	Of what particular point do you complain?
4836	Rather a desperate undertaking, however?
4836	Shall I be secure there?
4836	So that you do n''t mean,replied Schetz,"to accept the decision of the states?"
4836	Tell me,he cried,"by whose command Cardinal Granvelle administered poison to the Emperor Maximilian?
4836	War?
4836	What do you say to that, Don Francis?
4836	What is the man talking about?
4836	What is your own opinion on the whole affair?
4836	What, Madam,he is reported to have cried in a passion,"is it possible that your Highness can entertain fears of these beggars?
4836	Whence has the Duke of Alva the power of which he boasts, but from yourselves-- from Netherland cities? 4836 Where are my dead forefathers at present?"
4836	Wherein has the Pacification been violated?
4836	Will the Prince,asked the Landgrave,"permit my granddaughter to have an evangelical preacher in the house?"
4836	You do n''t mean, then,repeated Schetz,"to submit to the estates touching the exercise of religion?"
4836	--"Why does not your Most Christian master,"asked Alva,"order these Frenchmen in Mons to come to him under oath to make no disturbance?
4836	A little startled, the Duke rejoined,"Do you doubt that the cities will keep their promises?
4836	And how were they to be punished?
4836	And what was the"rigorous and exemplary justice"thus inflicted upon the"quidam?"
4836	And yet what was the Emperor Charles to the inhabitants of the Netherlands that they should weep for him?
4836	Are the sufferings of these obscure Christians beneath the dignity of history?
4836	Are the waves of the sea more inconstant-- is Euripus more uncertain than the counsels of such men?"
4836	Are these things related merely to excite superfluous horror?
4836	Are we to have Paris weddings in Brussels also?"
4836	But who were these"other"heretics?
4836	By what means will it be possible for the government fully to give you contentment?"
4836	Can you give me another?
4836	Compared to these, what were great moral and political ideas, the plans of statesmen, the hopes of nations?
4836	Could Philip or Alva have found in the wide world men to execute their decrees with more unhesitating docility, with more sympathizing eagerness?
4836	Did not Louis of Nassau nearly entrap the Grand Commander?
4836	Dost think thyself beyond the reach of mischief?
4836	For what purpose were these gatherings?
4836	For why have I exposed my property?
4836	From such a Regent, surrounded by such councillors, was the work of William de Nassau''s hands to gain applause?
4836	Governments given by royal commission, for example; what point could be clearer?
4836	Had he not discharged the Spaniards, placed the castles in the hands of natives, restored the privileges, submitted to insults and indecencies?
4836	Had he not done all he had ever promised?
4836	Had it not been weakness to spare the traitors who had thus stained the childhood of the national joy at liberty regained?
4836	Had not a handful of warriors of their own race rifled the golden Indies?
4836	Had not cannon thundered and beacons blazed to commemorate that auspicious event?
4836	Had not the Pope and his cardinals gone to church in solemn procession, to render thanks unto God for the massacre of Paris?
4836	Had not the heretics-- in the words of Inquisitor Titelmann-- allowed themselves, year after year, to be taken and slaughtered like lambs?
4836	Had not the redoubtable Alva been nearly made a captive?
4836	Had not their fathers, few in number, strong in courage and discipline, revelled in the plunder of a new world?
4836	Had not they fought within the bowels of the earth, beneath the depths of the sea, within blazing cities, and upon fields of ice?
4836	Had the city, indeed, been carried in the night; had the massacre already commenced; had all this labor and audacity been expended in vain?
4836	Had the creed of Luther been embraced only for such unworthy ends?
4836	Had they not done the work of demons for nine years long?
4836	Had they not eaten the flesh, and drank the hearts''blood of their enemies?
4836	Had they not slaughtered unarmed human beings by townfuls, at the word of command?
4836	Had they not stained the house of God with wholesale massacre?
4836	Has his Church therefore come to caught?
4836	Has the strong arm of the Lord thereby grown weaker?
4836	Hast flown to thy nest so early?
4836	He asked the Bishop, with many expressions of amazement, whether pardon was impossible; whether delay at least might not be obtained?
4836	He waved his broadleaved felt hat for silence, and then exclaimed, in language which has been almost literally preserved, What would ye, my friends?
4836	His name, and of what family?
4836	How could Don John refuse the wager of battle thus haughtily proffered?
4836	How could the nation now consent to the daily impositions which were practised?
4836	How else could these enormous successes be accounted for?
4836	How else could thousands fall before the Spanish swords, while hardly a single Spanish corpse told of effectual resistance?
4836	How large a part of the human race were the Batavians?
4836	How should Parma, seeing this obscures undersized, thin- bearded, runaway clerk before him, expect pith and energy from him?
4836	How were crimes like these to be visited upon the transgressor?
4836	How, indeed, could a different decision be expected?
4836	If William of Orange must seek a wife among the pagans, could no other bride be found for him than the daughter of such a man?
4836	If defeated, what would become of the King''s authority, with rebellious troops triumphant in rebellious provinces?
4836	If so much had been done by Holland and Zealand, how much more might be hoped when all the provinces were united?
4836	If so, was he willing to approve that treaty in all its articles?
4836	In whose- name and by what authority did they act against the sovereign?
4836	Is it not better to deal with murder and oppression in the abstract, without entering into trivial details?
4836	Is it not obvious what manner of men they are?
4836	O, have you been in Brabant, fighting for the states?
4836	O, have you brought back anything except your broken pates?
4836	Others asked him how long since he had sold himself to the Devil?
4836	Our enemies spare neither their money nor their labor; will ye be colder and duller than your foes?
4836	Shall all this be destroyed by the Spanish guns, or shall we rush to the rescue of our friends?"
4836	Should he go thence alive and unmolested?
4836	Should mercenary troops at this late hour be sent for?
4836	Should they assemble the captains of the Military associations?
4836	Should they call themselves the"Society of Concord,"the restorers of lost liberty, or by what other attractive title should the league be baptized?
4836	Should they issue a proclamation?
4836	Should they summon the ward- masters, and order the instant arming and mustering of their respective companies?
4836	The Prince asked his sanguine partisan if he were still determined to carry out his project, with no more definite support than he had indicated?
4836	The castle was carried, but what would become of the city?
4836	The proposition was hailed with acclamation, but who should invent the hieroglyphical costume?
4836	Thereupon he gave the Elector his hand.-- What now was the amount and meaning of this promise on the part of the Prince?
4836	They had, in reality, asked him but one question, and that a simple one-- Would he maintain the treaty of Ghent?
4836	They have not had wisdom enough to manage their own estates, and are they now to teach the King and your Highness how to govern the country?
4836	To this end had Columbus discovered a hemisphere for Castile and Aragon, and the new Indies revealed their hidden treasures?
4836	To whom, then, was the sacred debt of national and royal gratitude due but to Lamoral of Egmont?
4836	Upon this, Brederode, beside himself with rage, cried out vehemently,"Are we to tolerate such language from this priest?"
4836	Was William of Orange to receive absolute commands from the Duke of Alva?
4836	Was a people not justified in rising against authority when all their laws had been trodden under foot,"not once only, but a million of times?"
4836	Was he not himself the mark of obloquy among the Reformers, because of his leniency to Catholics?
4836	Was he ready to dismiss his troops at once, and by land, the sea voyage being liable to too many objections?
4836	Was he satisfied that the Ghent Pacification contained nothing conflicting with the Roman religion and the King''s authority?
4836	Was it astonishing that murder was more common than fidelity?
4836	Was it more severe and sudden than that which betrayed monarchs usually inflict?
4836	Was it not a diplomatic masterpiece, that from this frugal store they could contrive to eke out seven mortal months of negotiation?
4836	Was it possible, then, for William of Orange to sustain the Perpetual Edict, the compromise with Don John?
4836	Was it probable that the lethargy of provinces, which had reached so high a point of freedom only to be deprived of it at last, could endure forever?
4836	Was it strange that Orange should feel little affinity with such companions?
4836	Was it strange that a century or so of this kind of work should produce a Luther?
4836	Was it strange that hatred, incest, murder, should follow in the train of a wedding thus hideously solemnized?
4836	Was it that I might enrich myself?
4836	Was it that I might find new; ones?
4836	Was it to be tolerated that base, pacific burghers should monopolize the treasure by which a band of heroes might be enriched?
4836	Was it to be wondered at that many did not see the precipice towards which the bark which held their all was gliding under the same impulse?
4836	Was that hypocrisy?
4836	Were not all lovers of good government"erecting their heads like dromedaries?"
4836	Were not carnage and plunder the very elements in which they disported themselves?
4836	Were not these amusements of the Netherlanders as elevated and humanizing as the contemporary bull- fights and autos- da- fe of Spain?
4836	What altar and what hearthstone had they not profaned?
4836	What are oaths and hostages when prerogative, and the people are contending?
4836	What can be more consistent than laws of descent, regulated by right divine?

4836	What course was the Prince of Orange to adopt?
4836	What element had they not braved?
4836	What fatigue, what danger, what crime, had ever checked them for a moment?
4836	What have you to fear?"
4836	What holier triumph for the conqueror of the Saracens than the subjugation of these northern infidels?

4836	What obstacle had ever given them pause in their career of duty?
4836	What precaution should: they take?
4836	What service had he to render in exchange?
4836	What vulpine kind of mercy was it on the part of the Cardinal, while making such deadly insinuations, to recommend the imprisoned victim to clemency?
4836	What was his position at the moment?
4836	What was it to them that carnage and plunder had been spared in one of the richest and most populous cities in Christendom?
4836	What was it to them that the imperial shuttle was thus industriously flying to and fro?
4836	What was to be done?
4836	What were debtors, robbers, murderers, compared to heretics?
4836	What were they in a contest with the whole Roman empire?
4836	What will the Duke of Alva and all the Spaniards say of such a precipitate flight?
4836	What, meanwhile, was the policy of the government?
4836	What, then, was the condition of the nation, after this great step had been taken?
4836	When did one man ever civilize a people?
4836	When was France ever slow to sweep upon Italy with such a hope?
4836	Whence all this Christian meekness in the author of the Ban against Orange and the eulogist of Alva?
4836	Whence his ships, supplies, money, weapons, soldiers?
4836	Where else upon earth, at that day, was there half so much liberty as was thus guaranteed?
4836	Where was the work which had been too dark and bloody for their performance?
4836	Where was this hereditary chief magistrate to be found?
4836	Whereupon cried Desiring Heart, Oh Common Comfort who is he?
4836	Which is the most wonderful manifestation in the history of this personage-- the audacity of the impostor, or the bestiality of his victims?
4836	Who could expect to contend with such a foe in the dark?
4836	Who else could look into the future, and into Philip''s heart so unerringly?
4836	Who now did reverence to a King so criminal and so fallen?
4836	Whom were they to trust?
4836	Whose arm should deal it?
4836	Why do ye murmur that we do not break our vows and surrender the city to the Spaniards?

4836	Why have I left my son so long a prisoner?
4836	Why have I lost my brothers?
4836	Why have I put my life so often in, danger?
4836	Why should Meghem''s loitering and mutinous troops, arriving at the eleventh hour, share in the triumph and the spoil?
4836	Why should not the Antwerp executioners claim equal commendation?
4836	Why should they do so?
4836	Why then was it not competent to other provinces, with equal allegiance to the treaty, to sanction the Reformed religion within their limits?
4836	Will they not say that your Excellency has fled from the consciousness of guilt?
4836	Would it not be better, then, that the poor man, to avoid starvation, should wait no longer, but accept bread wherever he might find it?
4836	Would not their appearance at this crisis rather inflame the rage than intimidate the insolence of the sectaries?
4836	You will ask why I am in Mons at the head of an armed force: are any of you ignorant of Alva''s cruelties?
4836	cried the Prince,"what are you afraid of?
4836	how the devil came you to send that courier to Rome about the English plot without giving me warning?"
4836	said the Prince, looking gravely at Ryhove;"but upon what force do you rely for your undertaking?"
4836	they cried;"art thou terrified so soon?
4836	who is this boy that is preaching to me?"
4836	you whom I esteem as my father, can you suspect me of such guilt?
4885	''Sed de modo?'' 4885 And do you think yourselves more mighty than the Kings of England and France?"
4885	And how did his Majesty receive the blow?
4885	And may I communicate Lord Burghley''s letter to any one else?
4885	And on the whole,observed the Lord Admiral,"do n''t you think that the putting an army in the field might be dispensed with for this year?
4885	And what is the-- governor''s pleasure?
4885	And what way will you take?
4885	And what,said she,"if a peace should come in the mean time?"
4885	But how if they make war upon us?
4885	But who is to bell the cat?
4885	But,asked a deputy,"if the Spanish fleet does not succeed in its enterprise, will the peace- negotiations be renewed?"
4885	But,said the prince,"how did you dare to enter the Hague, relying only on the word of a Beggar?"
4885	Do you wish it sincerely?
4885	For who can warrant these villains from her,he said,"if that person live, or shall live any time?
4885	Has he a quarrel with any of the party? 4885 How am I to defend myself?"
4885	How dare you bring me a dispatch without a signature?
4885	How many are there in the garrison?
4885	How many?
4885	I sent Richardot to you yesterday,said Alexander;"did he not content you?"
4885	Is the King dead?
4885	Sire, is the Duke of Guise your friend or enemy?
4885	To whom did he make that promise?
4885	We are travelling about like pilgrims,said Elizabeth,"but what is life but a pilgrimage?"
4885	What are you pulling at me for, mate?
4885	What can we possibly advise her Majesty to do?
4885	What can you do then?
4885	What difference will it make,he asked,"whether we defer our action until either darkness or the General arrives?
4885	What has come to Hollock?
4885	What indulgence do you speak of?
4885	What is your price?
4885	What man living would go to the field and have his officers divided almost into mortal quarrel? 4885 What more can the queen do,"he observed,"than she is already doing?
4885	What terms of negotiation do you propose?
4885	What terms will you pledge for the repayment of the monies to be advanced?
4885	What then will become of our beautiful churches?
4885	Where are these ships of war, of which you were speaking?
4885	Who are you, and what do you want?
4885	Who goes there?
4885	Who goes there?
4885	Who would not confide,replied Neyen,"in the word of so exalted, so respectable a Beggar as you, O most excellent prince?"
4885	Why, why did you not write yourself?
4885	Will you do what I ask,demanded from the bed the voice of him who was said to be Ernest,"will you kill this tyrant?"
4885	You are the author of the whole scheme,said Philip,"and if it, is all to vanish into space, what kind of a figure shall we cut the coming year?"
4885	After the declaration of independence and the repudiation of Philip, to whom did the sovereignty belong?
4885	After the envoy had taken his leave, the queen said to him in Latin,"Modicae fidei quare dubitasti?"
4885	Alas will it be maintained that in the two and a half centuries which have since elapsed the world has made much progress in a higher direction?
4885	Am I, then, in your opinion, forsaking you when I send you English blood, which I love, and which is my own blood, and which I am bound to defend?
4885	Ambassador, this time I hope that you are satisfied with me?"
4885	Ambassador, what shall I say to you?
4885	And if not, how was it to reassert its vitality?
4885	And what authority, I pray you, have you given him?
4885	And what had they got?
4885	And what was this dependence on a foreign tyrant really worth?
4885	And wherewithal should I sustain this burthen?
4885	And why was the unfortunate Otheman thus hunted to his lair?
4885	And,"Oh, the wretched coward, the imbecile?"
4885	Beggared and outcast, with literally scarce a shirt to his back, without money to pay a corporal''s guard, how was he to maintain an army?
4885	Burghley to Croft.--"Did you order your servant to speak with Andrea de Loo?"
4885	Burghley.--"Who bade you say, after your second return to Brussels, that you came on the part of the Queen?
4885	But has the art political kept pace with the advancement of physical science?
4885	But has the cause of modesty or humanity gained very much by the decorous fig- leaves of modern diplomacy?
4885	But of what avail were her timid little flutterings of indignation and resistance?
4885	But was it a moment to linger?
4885	But what care I?
4885	But what if they too should begin to move?
4885	But what profit could the Duke of Lerma expect by the continuance of the Dutch war, and who in Spain was to be consulted except the Duke of Lerma?
4885	But what was the design of the new confederacy?
4885	But whose arm was daring enough for such a stroke?
4885	But why should I not live in peace, if we were to be friends to each other?
4885	Can it be doubted that they will fly to arms at once, and give all their support to the King of Navarre, heretic though he be?
4885	Can we by reason even expect a good sequel to such iniquitous acts?
4885	Could a more biting epigram be made upon the condition to which the nation had been reduced?
4885	Could the issue of the proposed negotiations be thought hopeful, or was another half century of warfare impending?
4885	Could they hope to see farther than that wisest and most experienced prince?
4885	Could they succeed in utterly demolishing that bulwark in the course of the day?
4885	Could you do that?"
4885	Did as plausible a pretext as that ever fail to a state ambitious of absorbing its neighbours?
4885	Did it seem credible that the fort of Zutphen should be placed in the hands of Roland York?
4885	Do you believe that my lords the States will agree to the proposition?"
4885	Do you not believe that Prince Maurice has designs on the sovereignty, and would prevent the fulfilment of the king''s hopes?
4885	Do you think that they would give themselves to the king if he assisted them?
4885	Do you think we came over here to spend our lives and our goods, and to leave all we have, to be thus used and thus betrayed by you?
4885	Do you want peace or war?
4885	Do you, think you have a child to deal with?
4885	Even if I do assist the Hollanders, what wrong is that to him?
4885	For what have I, unhappy man, to do here either with cause or country but for you?"
4885	Had he any landed property in England?
4885	Had he really ever held any other office but that of master of the horse?
4885	Had that"shadowy and imaginary authority"granted to Leicester not proved substantial enough?
4885	Have we not showed it to Mr. Croft, one of your own colleagues?
4885	He who has maintained and preserved you by His mercy, can you imagine that he permits you to walk alone in your utmost need?
4885	How appeal to the violent and deeply incensed Hohenlo?
4885	How can he hope to conquer France?
4885	How could he acknowledge his error?
4885	How could he manifest confidence in the detested Norris?
4885	How could that diplomatist reply but with polite scorn?
4885	How could there be doubt or supineness on such a momentous subject?
4885	How else can these obliquities stand with her professions of love?
4885	How else could he hope to continue his massacre of the Protestants?
4885	How had they made that loan?
4885	How many men,"he asked,"are required for garrisons in all the fortresses and cities, and for the field?"
4885	How much remains beyond what they have already acquired?
4885	How old were you when you first became a preacher?"
4885	I doubt they will be suddenly enough awakened one day, and the cry will be,''Who''d have thought it?''
4885	If I did not wish a pacific solution, what in the world forced me to do what I have done?
4885	If she lose these opportunities, who can look for other but dishonour and destruction?
4885	If so, how were they to be dislodged before their work was perfected?
4885	If the Spaniard has designs against our State, has he not cause?
4885	If the twain as Holland wished, had become of one flesh, would England have been the loser?
4885	Is France to be saved by opening all its gates to Spain?
4885	Is France to be turned out of France, to make a lodging for the Lorrainer and the Spaniard?"
4885	Is it because she is hearkening to a peace?
4885	Is it drawn by pencils hostile to the English nation or the English Queen?
4885	Is it possible that any wordly respect can efface the terror of Divine wrath?
4885	Is it strange that the Queen of England was deceived?
4885	Is there anything else you seek?"
4885	Is there no envoy from Utrecht and the other Provinces?"
4885	Is there yet any appeal among the most civilized nations except to the logic of the largest battalions and the eloquence of the biggest guns?
4885	Is this picture exaggerated?
4885	Is this young man also a minister?"
4885	Maurice was thus on the wrong side of the great channel by which Sluy''s communicated with the sea?
4885	Meantime Ancel was deputed by Henry to visit the various courts of Germany and the north in order to obtain, if possible, new members for the league?
4885	Might not a shudder come over the souls of men as coming events vaguely shaped themselves to prophetic eyes?
4885	Moreover, who would not rather be a horse- keeper to her Majesty, than a captain to Barneveld or Buys?"
4885	Need men look further than to this simple fact to learn why Spain was decaying while the republic was rising?
4885	Need more be said to indicate the inevitable ruin of both government and people?
4885	On the other hand, what good could it do to the cause of peace, that these wonderful instructions should be published throughout the republic?
4885	Renee, the sister of Bussy d''Amboise, had vowed to unite herself to a man who would avenge the assassination of her brother by the Count Montsoreau?
4885	She was somewhat in a passion, but spoke with majestic moderation?
4885	Should Maurice look calmly on while the enemy, whom he had made so painful a forced march to meet, moved off out of reach before his eyes?
4885	Should Philip administer his new kingdom by a viceroy, or should he appoint a king out of his own family?
4885	Should he continue in the trenches, pressing more and more closely the city already reduced to great straits?
4885	Should he fling himself upon Renty''s division which had so ostentatiously offered battle the day before?
4885	Should he throw himself across the river and rescue the place before it fell?
4885	Should not this conviction, on the part of men who had so many means of feeling the popular pulse, have given the Queen''s government pause?
4885	Should the whole army mutiny at once, what might become of the kingdom of Spain?
4885	Tell me, I pray you, what would you do for his Majesty in case anything should be done for you?
4885	That done, what good can be accomplished by our arms?
4885	That monarch was implored to take, the sceptre of France, and to reign over them, inasmuch as they most willingly threw themselves into his arms?
4885	The Queen.--"And of the States?"
4885	The Queen.--"Are you sent only from Holland and Zeeland?
4885	The Queen.--"Then how were you sent hither?"
4885	The Queen.--"What?
4885	The assault was then ordered?
4885	The forty days, promised as the period of Neyen''s absence, were soon gone; but what were forty days, or forty times forty, at the Spanish court?
4885	The motto,"incertum quo fate ferent"( who knows whither fate is sweeping her?)
4885	Think you I will be bound by your own speech to make no peace for mine own matters without their consent?
4885	To the threat of being invaded, and to the advice to close his gates, he answered,"Do you see these two doors?
4885	Upon this was built a chamber of marble mason- work, forty feet long, three and a half feet broad, as many high, and with side- walks[ walls?
4885	Very well, masters, do you not think I am assisting you when I am sending you four thousand foot and four hundred horse to serve during the war?
4885	Villiers was of the same opinion, and accordingly the councillor, in the excess of his caution, confided the secret only-- to whom?
4885	Walsingham to Bodman.--"Have you the copy still?"
4885	Was better proof ever afforded that God alone can protect us against those whom we trust?
4885	Was it anxiety lest his victorious entrance into Paris might undo the diplomacy of his catholic envoys at Rome?
4885	Was it not madness for the stadholder, at the head of eight hundred horsemen, to assail such an army as this?
4885	Was it not strange that the letter had been so long delayed?
4885	Was it not to invoke upon his head the swift vengeance of Heaven?
4885	Was it possible for those envoys to imagine the almost invisible meanness of such childish tricks?
4885	Was it strange that a man, so thirsty for power, so gluttonous of flattery, should be influenced by such passionate appeals?
4885	Was it strange that in Philip''s reign such energy should be rewarded by wealth, rank, and honour?
4885	Was it strange that the States should be distrustful of her intentions, and, in their turn, become neglectful of their duty?
4885	Was it strange that the proud Earl should be fretting his heart away when such golden chances were eluding his grasp?
4885	Was it strange that there should be murmurs at the appointment of so dangerous a chief to guard a wavering city which had so recently been secured?
4885	Was it thought to bait a trap for the ingenuous Netherlanders, and catch them little by little, like so many wild animals?
4885	Was not such a labourer in the vineyard worthy of his hire?
4885	Was not this opening of a cheerful and pacific prospect, after a half century''s fight for liberty, a fair cause for rejoicing?
4885	Was not this reasonable and according to the elemental laws?
4885	Was that buckler to be suffered to fall to the ground, or to be raised only upon the arm of a doubtful and treacherous friend?
4885	Was the sovereign people to wait for months, or years, before it regained its existence?
4885	We confess what you say concerning the former requisitions and promises to be true, but when will you have done?
4885	Were not children, thus ready to dismember their mother, as foul and unnatural as the mother who would divide her child?
4885	What are our evangelists about in Germany?
4885	What are we all but dirt and dust?"
4885	What are your children made of more than other people''s children?
4885	What but failure and disaster could be expected from such astounding policy?
4885	What can you expect from them but evil fruit?"
4885	What could be more childish than such diplomacy?
4885	What could be more hopeless than such negotiations?
4885	What could the brother hope by taking the field against Maurice of Nassau and Lewis William and the Baxes and Meetkerkes?
4885	What course should he now pursue?
4885	What did Alexander, when in an arid desert they brought, him a helmet full of water?
4885	What did all this mean, it was demanded, this producing one set of propositions after another?
4885	What greater proof could be given of the incapacity of the Spanish court to learn the lesson which forty years had been teaching?
4885	What hope of help can I have, finding her Majesty so strait with myself as she is?
4885	What if it were found out that we were all fellow- worms together, and that those which had crawled highest were not necessarily the least slimy?
4885	What if the fearful heresy should gain ground that the People was at least as wise, honest, and brave as its masters?
4885	What if the whole theory of hereditary superiority should suddenly exhale?
4885	What machine was there that we did not employ?
4885	What matters it to them that blood flows, and that the miserable people are destroyed, who alone are good for anything?"
4885	What more conclusive indications could be required as to the guilt of the Moors?
4885	What more dreary than the perpetual efforts of two lines to approach each other which were mathematically incapable of meeting?
4885	What motive had so many princes to traverse Philip''s designs in the Netherlands, but desire to destroy the enormous power which they feared?
4885	What need to dilate further upon such a minister and upon such a system of government?
4885	What now was that England?
4885	What now was the disposition and what the means of the Provinces to do their part in the contest?
4885	What now was the political position of the United Provinces at this juncture?
4885	What now were its hopes of deliverance out of this Gehenna?
4885	What service doth he, Count Solms, Count Overatein, with their Almaynes, but spend treasure and consume great contributions?"
4885	What should he do?
4885	What then would you more of me?
4885	What theology teaches your Highness to vent your wrath upon the innocent?
4885	What was a coasting- trade with Spain compared with this boundless career of adventure?
4885	What was his position?
4885	What was his rank, they asked, what his ability, what: his influence at court?
4885	What was his work?
4885	What was the aspect of affairs in Germany and France?
4885	What were the Estates?
4885	What were those opinions?
4885	What will you do for us in return for our assistance?"
4885	When are pomp and enthusiasm not to be obtained by imperial personages, at brief notice and in vast quantities, if managers understand their business?
4885	When before had a sovereign acknowledged the independence of his rebellious subjects, and signed a treaty with them as with equals?
4885	When was ever an account of fifteen years''standing adjusted, whether between nations or individuals, without much wrangling?
4885	When were priestly flatterers ever wanting to pour this poison into the souls of tyrants?
4885	When would such an opportunity occur again?
4885	Where now were the vehement protestations of horror that her public declaration of principles and motives had been set at nought?
4885	Where should we be?
4885	Where was Farnese?
4885	Where, then, could even a loophole be found through which the possibility of a compromise could be espied?
4885	Who better than he then, in this double capacity, to coil himself around the rebellion, and to carry the olive- branch in his mouth?
4885	Who but the fanatical, the shallow- minded, or the corrupt could doubt the inevitable issue of the conflict?
4885	Who could have feared any danger to the most powerful city in the Netherlands from so moderate a besieging force?
4885	Who could have foretold, or even hoped, that atoms so mutually repulsive would ever have coalesced into a sympathetic and indissoluble whole?
4885	Who could measure the consequences to Christendom of such a catastrophe?
4885	Who could reach him through that valley of death?
4885	Who doubts her participation in the Babington conspiracy?
4885	Who doubts that her long imprisonment in England was a violation of all law, all justice, all humanity?

4885	Who was most dangerous to the United Provinces during those memorable peace negotiations, Spain the avowed enemy, or France the friend?
4885	Who were the people when the educated classes and the working classes were thus carefully eliminated?
4885	Whose but that of the Devonshire skipper who had already accomplished so much?
4885	Why did not they formally offer the sovereignty of the Provinces to the Queen without conditions?
4885	Why did the archdukes not declare their intentions openly and at once?
4885	Why was he there?
4885	Why, if he were really of so high quality as had been reported, was he thus neglected, and at last disgraced?
4885	Why?
4885	With what chrism, by what prelate, should the consecration of Henry be performed?
4885	Without it, what exchequer can accept chronic warfare and escape bankruptcy?
4885	Without the sanction of all the United States, of what value was the declaration of Utrecht?
4885	Would it not be better to wait till nightfall?
4885	Yet how can I do it without money?
4885	Yet, after all, what had he accomplished?
4885	and Henry III., could stand up on the blood- stained soil of the Netherlands and plead for liberty of conscience for all mankind?
4885	asked the Italian;"will you take 200,000 ducats?"
4885	he cried,"What will princes say, what will the world in general say, what will historians say, about the honour of the English nation?"
4885	how am I ever to get back my money?
4885	modicae fidei quare dubitasti?"
4885	she cried;"how are the affairs of Ireland to be provided for?
4885	what availeth wit, when it fails the owner at greatest need?
4885	what fleets and floating cidadels did we not put in motion?
4885	what miracles of fire did we not invent?
4885	when should she serve,"said the Admiral,"if not at such a time as this?
4885	where is the golden statue?
4885	who is to pay the garrisons of Brill and Flushing?"
4885	would you have had me guilty of the slaughter of so many innocents, whose lives were committed to my charge, as well as the best?
4900	''Sed de modo?'' 4900 And a few years beyond it?"
4900	And do you think yourselves more mighty than the Kings of England and France?
4900	And how did his Majesty receive the blow?
4900	And if a malefactor, why not a lawyer?
4900	And may I communicate Lord Burghley''s letter to any one else?
4900	And my husband might come too?
4900	And on the whole,observed the Lord Admiral,"do n''t you think that the putting an army in the field might be dispensed with for this year?
4900	And suppose our ministers do preach this doctrine, is there anything strange in it, any reason why they should not do so?
4900	And what becomes, then, of their promises?
4900	And what do you mean to do in the matter?
4900	And what is the-- governor''s pleasure?
4900	And what reason have we to hope,cried the Prince,"that your pledges, if made; will be redeemed?
4900	And what way will you take?
4900	And what,asked a deputy, smoothly,"is the point which touches you most nearly?
4900	And what,said she,"if a peace should come in the mean time?"
4900	Are there any private letters or papers in the bog?
4900	Are we to have a Paris massacre, a Paris blood- bath here in the Netherland capital? 4900 Are we to suffer such folk here,"he replied,"who preach the vile doctrine that God has created one man for damnation and another for salvation?"
4900	As for Don Charles,he says,"was he not our future sovereign?
4900	As to money--"How much money have I got?
4900	But how if they make war upon us?
4900	But if,argued the Duke of Aerschot,"the King absolutely refuse to do what you demand of him; what then?"
4900	But who is to bell the cat?
4900	But,asked Schetz,"what security do you offer us that you will yourselves maintain the Pacification?"
4900	But,asked a deputy,"if the Spanish fleet does not succeed in its enterprise, will the peace- negotiations be renewed?"
4900	But,replied the Prince,"if we are already accomplishing the Pacification, what more do you wish?"
4900	But,said the prince,"how did you dare to enter the Hague, relying only on the word of a Beggar?"
4900	Did he say anything of a pardon?
4900	Did you ever hear any one preach that?
4900	Die, treacherous villain?
4900	Do you hear what my son says?
4900	Do you not love your wife and children?
4900	Do you think this can be put down?
4900	Do you wish it sincerely?
4900	Expende Hannibalem: quot libras in duce summo Invenies?.
4900	For how much good will it do,said the King,"if we drive off Archduke Leopold without establishing the princes in security for the future?
4900	For who can warrant these villains from her,he said,"if that person live, or shall live any time?
4900	Fourteen millions?
4900	Has he a quarrel with any of the party? 4900 Have you heard whether my Grotius is to die, and Hoogerbeets also?"
4900	Ho, ho,said the Duke,"I am wanted for that affair, am I?"
4900	How am I to defend myself?
4900	How dare you bring me a dispatch without a signature?
4900	How many are there in the garrison?
4900	How many?
4900	I doubt if he accepts the suggestion,said Barneveld,"unless as a notorious trick, and if he did, what good would the promise of Spinola do us?
4900	I have tamed people of iron in my day,said he, contemptuously,"shall I not easily crush these men of butter?"
4900	I sent Richardot to you yesterday,said Alexander;"did he not content you?"
4900	Is he, or am I, to command in this campaign? 4900 Is it possible,"said the Advocate,"that so close an inspection is held over me in these last hours?
4900	Is the King dead?
4900	Is the army of the Prince of Orange a flock of wild geese,he asked,"that it can fly over rivers like the Meuse?"
4900	Is the word of a king,said the dowager to the commissioners, who were insisting upon guarantees,"is the word of a king not sufficient?"
4900	Is there no cushion or stool to kneel upon?
4900	May she at least receive the sacrament of the Lord''s Supper in her own chamber, according to the Lutheran form?
4900	Must they see this too? 4900 Of what particular point do you complain?"
4900	Rather a desperate undertaking, however?
4900	Shall I be secure there?
4900	Shall we go at once?
4900	Sire, is the Duke of Guise your friend or enemy?
4900	Sixteen?
4900	So that you do n''t mean,replied Schetz,"to accept the decision of the states?"
4900	Tell me,he cried,"by whose command Cardinal Granvelle administered poison to the Emperor Maximilian?
4900	To whom did he make that promise?
4900	War?
4900	We are travelling about like pilgrims,said Elizabeth,"but what is life but a pilgrimage?"
4900	Well, Sylla,he said very calmly,"will you in these my last moments lay down the law to me as to what I shall write to my wife?"
4900	Well, preacher,rejoined Maurice,"do n''t you think I know better?"
4900	What are you pulling at me for, mate?
4900	What can we possibly advise her Majesty to do?
4900	What can you do then?
4900	What could we desire more,wrote Aerssens to Barneveld,"than open war between France and Spain?
4900	What difference will it make,he asked,"whether we defer our action until either darkness or the General arrives?
4900	What do you say to that, Don Francis?
4900	What excuse is that?
4900	What has come to Hollock?
4900	What indulgence do you speak of?
4900	What is the man talking about?
4900	What is your own opinion on the whole affair?
4900	What is your price?
4900	What man living would go to the field and have his officers divided almost into mortal quarrel? 4900 What more can the queen do,"he observed,"than she is already doing?
4900	What need had the sovereign states of Holland of advice from a stadholder, from their servant, their functionary?
4900	What relatives?
4900	What terms of negotiation do you propose?
4900	What terms will you pledge for the repayment of the monies to be advanced?
4900	What then will become of our beautiful churches?
4900	What, Madam,he is reported to have cried in a passion,"is it possible that your Highness can entertain fears of these beggars?
4900	Whence has the Duke of Alva the power of which he boasts, but from yourselves-- from Netherland cities? 4900 Where are my dead forefathers at present?"
4900	Where are these ships of war, of which you were speaking?
4900	Wherein has the Pacification been violated?
4900	Who are you, and what do you want?
4900	Who asks you to do so?
4900	Who can doubt that in this passage of his story he is picturing his own visions, one of the fairest of which was destined to become reality? 4900 Who goes there?"
4900	Who goes there?
4900	Who would not confide,replied Neyen,"in the word of so exalted, so respectable a Beggar as you, O most excellent prince?"
4900	Why should van der Myle strut about, with his arms akimbo like a peacock?
4900	Why, why did you not write yourself?
4900	Will the Prince,asked the Landgrave,"permit my granddaughter to have an evangelical preacher in the house?"
4900	Will you do what I ask,demanded from the bed the voice of him who was said to be Ernest,"will you kill this tyrant?"
4900	Will you take the message?
4900	You are the author of the whole scheme,said Philip,"and if it, is all to vanish into space, what kind of a figure shall we cut the coming year?"
4900	You do n''t mean, then,repeated Schetz,"to submit to the estates touching the exercise of religion?"
4900	--"Has either of the brethren,"he added,"prepared a prayer to be offered outside there?"
4900	--"Why does not your Most Christian master,"asked Alva,"order these Frenchmen in Mons to come to him under oath to make no disturbance?
4900	A little startled, the Duke rejoined,"Do you doubt that the cities will keep their promises?
4900	After all, what was your Chevy Chace to stir blood with like a trumpet?
4900	After the declaration of independence and the repudiation of Philip, to whom did the sovereignty belong?
4900	After the envoy had taken his leave, the queen said to him in Latin,"Modicae fidei quare dubitasti?"
4900	Alas will it be maintained that in the two and a half centuries which have since elapsed the world has made much progress in a higher direction?
4900	Am I, then, in your opinion, forsaking you when I send you English blood, which I love, and which is my own blood, and which I am bound to defend?
4900	Ambassador, this time I hope that you are satisfied with me?"
4900	Ambassador, what shall I say to you?
4900	Amen?"
4900	And although he had mentioned no names, could the"eminent personages"thus cited at second hand be anybody but the Advocate?
4900	And how had the plot been revealed?
4900	And how were they to be punished?
4900	And if not, how was it to reassert its vitality?
4900	And if once the blacks had leave to run, how many whites would have to stay at home to guard their dissolving property?
4900	And in what way had he scandalized the government of the Republic?
4900	And is it not appalling to think of the''large constitution of this man,''when you reflect on the acres of canvas which he has covered?
4900	And now had not Francis Aerssens been the first to communicate to his masters the fruit which had already ripened upon Henry''s grave?
4900	And to whom belonged the right of prescribing laws and ordinances of public worship, of appointing preachers, church servants, schoolmasters, sextons?
4900	And what authority, I pray you, have you given him?
4900	And what had they got?
4900	And what said Maurice in reply?
4900	And what was the"rigorous and exemplary justice"thus inflicted upon the"quidam?"
4900	And what was this dependence on a foreign tyrant really worth?
4900	And wherewithal should I sustain this burthen?
4900	And why was the unfortunate Otheman thus hunted to his lair?
4900	And why?
4900	And yet what was the Emperor Charles to the inhabitants of the Netherlands that they should weep for him?
4900	And,"Oh, the wretched coward, the imbecile?"
4900	Are the sufferings of these obscure Christians beneath the dignity of history?
4900	Are the waves of the sea more inconstant-- is Euripus more uncertain than the counsels of such men?"
4900	Are these things related merely to excite superfluous horror?
4900	Are they thus to deal with a true patriot?
4900	Are we to have Paris weddings in Brussels also?"
4900	Are we to preach in barns?
4900	Are we to spend twelve hundred millions, and raise six hundred thousand soldiers, in order to protect slavery?
4900	Are you not very unhappy to live under those poor weak archdukes?
4900	Beggared and outcast, with literally scarce a shirt to his back, without money to pay a corporal''s guard, how was he to maintain an army?
4900	Besides the sons of the Advocate, his two sons- in- law, Brederode, Seignior of Veenhuizep, and Cornelis van der Myle, were constantly employed?
4900	Burghley to Croft.--"Did you order your servant to speak with Andrea de Loo?"
4900	Burghley.--"Who bade you say, after your second return to Brussels, that you came on the part of the Queen?
4900	But are there any trustworthy friends to the Union among the slaveholders?
4900	But has the art political kept pace with the advancement of physical science?
4900	But has the cause of modesty or humanity gained very much by the decorous fig- leaves of modern diplomacy?
4900	But if we take refuge with the Lord God, what can this inane, worn- out man and water- bubble do to us?"
4900	But of what avail were her timid little flutterings of indignation and resistance?
4900	But should the five Points or the Seven Points obtain the mastery?
4900	But supposing that all the charges had been admitted or proved, what course would naturally be taken in consequence?
4900	But was it a moment to linger?
4900	But was not Gondemar ever at his elbow, and the Infanta always in the perspective?
4900	But what care I?
4900	But what if they too should begin to move?
4900	But what profit could the Duke of Lerma expect by the continuance of the Dutch war, and who in Spain was to be consulted except the Duke of Lerma?
4900	But what was the design of the new confederacy?
4900	But what were such good gifts in the possession of rebels, seceders, and Puritans?
4900	But what were ties of blood compared to the iron bands of religious love and hatred?
4900	But when were doctors ever wanting to prove the unlawfulness of law which interferes with the purposes of a despot and the convictions of the bigot?
4900	But who were these"other"heretics?
4900	But who works like Sully?
4900	But whose arm was daring enough for such a stroke?
4900	But why should I not live in peace, if we were to be friends to each other?
4900	By what means will it be possible for the government fully to give you contentment?"
4900	Can I not speak a word or two in freedom?
4900	Can it be doubted that they will fly to arms at once, and give all their support to the King of Navarre, heretic though he be?
4900	Can we by reason even expect a good sequel to such iniquitous acts?
4900	Can you give me another?
4900	Compared to these, what were great moral and political ideas, the plans of statesmen, the hopes of nations?
4900	Could I make an appointment with you for either of those days?
4900	Could Philip or Alva have found in the wide world men to execute their decrees with more unhesitating docility, with more sympathizing eagerness?
4900	Could a more biting epigram be made upon the condition to which the nation had been reduced?
4900	Could antagonism be more sharply defined?
4900	Could the issue of the proposed negotiations be thought hopeful, or was another half century of warfare impending?
4900	Could there be a better illustration of the absurdities of such a system of Imperialism?
4900	Could they hope to see farther than that wisest and most experienced prince?
4900	Could they succeed in utterly demolishing that bulwark in the course of the day?
4900	Could you do that?"
4900	Did as plausible a pretext as that ever fail to a state ambitious of absorbing its neighbours?
4900	Did it seem credible that the fort of Zutphen should be placed in the hands of Roland York?
4900	Did not Louis of Nassau nearly entrap the Grand Commander?
4900	Did not preacher Hoe''s master aspire to the crown of Bohemia himself?
4900	Did they abhor the Contra- Remonstrants whom James and his ambassador Carleton doted upon and whom Barneveld called"Double Puritans"and"Flanderizers?"
4900	Do n''t you foresee that as soon as they die you will lose all the little you have acquired in the obedient Netherlands during the last fifty years?"
4900	Do you believe that my lords the States will agree to the proposition?"
4900	Do you care to know about the Archduke Ferdinand Maximilian, that shall be King hereafter of Mexico( if L. N. has his way)?
4900	Do you not believe that Prince Maurice has designs on the sovereignty, and would prevent the fulfilment of the king''s hopes?
4900	Do you think that they would give themselves to the king if he assisted them?
4900	Do you think we came over here to spend our lives and our goods, and to leave all we have, to be thus used and thus betrayed by you?
4900	Do you want peace or war?
4900	Do you, think you have a child to deal with?
4900	Does it not seem to you a plot well woven as well in Holland as at this court to remove me from my post with disreputation?
4900	Dost think thyself beyond the reach of mischief?
4900	Even Caron was staggered?
4900	Even if I do assist the Hollanders, what wrong is that to him?
4900	Fish''s way of reproducing the expression without the insinuation which called it forth is a practical misstatement which does Mr. Motley great wrong?
4900	For what have I, unhappy man, to do here either with cause or country but for you?"
4900	For what purpose were these gatherings?
4900	For why have I exposed my property?
4900	From such a Regent, surrounded by such councillors, was the work of William de Nassau''s hands to gain applause?
4900	Governments given by royal commission, for example; what point could be clearer?
4900	Had he any landed property in England?
4900	Had he not discharged the Spaniards, placed the castles in the hands of natives, restored the privileges, submitted to insults and indecencies?
4900	Had he not done all he had ever promised?
4900	Had he really ever held any other office but that of master of the horse?
4900	Had it not been weakness to spare the traitors who had thus stained the childhood of the national joy at liberty regained?
4900	Had not Don Pedro de Toledo pompously announced this condition a year and a half before?
4900	Had not Esquire van Ostrum solemnly declared it at a tavern table?
4900	Had not Henry spurned the bribe with scorn?
4900	Had not a handful of warriors of their own race rifled the golden Indies?
4900	Had not cannon thundered and beacons blazed to commemorate that auspicious event?
4900	Had not the Pope and his cardinals gone to church in solemn procession, to render thanks unto God for the massacre of Paris?
4900	Had not the deeply injured and misunderstood Grotius already said,"If the trees we plant do not shade us, they will yet serve for our descendants?"
4900	Had not the heretics-- in the words of Inquisitor Titelmann-- allowed themselves, year after year, to be taken and slaughtered like lambs?
4900	Had not the redoubtable Alva been nearly made a captive?
4900	Had not their fathers, few in number, strong in courage and discipline, revelled in the plunder of a new world?
4900	Had not they fought within the bowels of the earth, beneath the depths of the sea, within blazing cities, and upon fields of ice?
4900	Had that"shadowy and imaginary authority"granted to Leicester not proved substantial enough?
4900	Had the city, indeed, been carried in the night; had the massacre already commenced; had all this labor and audacity been expended in vain?
4900	Had the creed of Luther been embraced only for such unworthy ends?
4900	Had they not done the work of demons for nine years long?
4900	Had they not eaten the flesh, and drank the hearts''blood of their enemies?
4900	Had they not had enough of the seed sown by that foe of God, Arminius?
4900	Had they not slaughtered unarmed human beings by townfuls, at the word of command?
4900	Had they not stained the house of God with wholesale massacre?
4900	Has his Church therefore come to caught?
4900	Has not the Pope intervened in the affair?
4900	Has the strong arm of the Lord thereby grown weaker?
4900	Hast flown to thy nest so early?
4900	Have we not showed it to Mr. Croft, one of your own colleagues?
4900	He asked the Bishop, with many expressions of amazement, whether pardon was impossible; whether delay at least might not be obtained?
4900	He came back and said to the prisoner,"Has my Lord any desire to speak with his wife or children, or any of his friends?"
4900	He then added with a half- smile,"Well, what is expected of me?"
4900	He then asked if the King thought that the princes had justice on their side, and whether, if the contrary were shown, he would change his policy?
4900	He waved his broadleaved felt hat for silence, and then exclaimed, in language which has been almost literally preserved, What would ye, my friends?
4900	He who has maintained and preserved you by His mercy, can you imagine that he permits you to walk alone in your utmost need?
4900	His name, and of what family?
4900	How appeal to the violent and deeply incensed Hohenlo?
4900	How can I negotiate after my private despatches have been read?
4900	How can he hope to conquer France?
4900	How can you expect anything interesting from such a human cocoon?
4900	How could Don John refuse the wager of battle thus haughtily proffered?
4900	How could Maximilian, sternest of Papists, and Frederick V., flightiest of Calvinists, act harmoniously in an Imperial election?
4900	How could he acknowledge his error?
4900	How could he help admiring Byron and falling into more or less unconscious imitation of his moods if not of his special affectations?
4900	How could he manifest confidence in the detested Norris?
4900	How could that diplomatist reply but with polite scorn?
4900	How could the Eldest Son of the Church and the chief of an unlimited monarchy make common cause with heretics and republicans against Spain and Rome?
4900	How could the nation now consent to the daily impositions which were practised?
4900	How could there be doubt or supineness on such a momentous subject?
4900	How else can these obliquities stand with her professions of love?
4900	How else could he hope to continue his massacre of the Protestants?
4900	How else could these enormous successes be accounted for?
4900	How else could thousands fall before the Spanish swords, while hardly a single Spanish corpse told of effectual resistance?
4900	How had they made that loan?
4900	How large a part of the human race were the Batavians?
4900	How long would that policy remain sound and united?
4900	How long would the Republic speak through the imperial voice of Barneveld?
4900	How many men,"he asked,"are required for garrisons in all the fortresses and cities, and for the field?"
4900	How much remains beyond what they have already acquired?
4900	How old were you when you first became a preacher?"
4900	How should Parma, seeing this obscures undersized, thin- bearded, runaway clerk before him, expect pith and energy from him?
4900	How were crimes like these to be visited upon the transgressor?
4900	How, indeed, could a different decision be expected?
4900	I doubt they will be suddenly enough awakened one day, and the cry will be,''Who''d have thought it?''
4900	If I did not wish a pacific solution, what in the world forced me to do what I have done?
4900	If William of Orange must seek a wife among the pagans, could no other bride be found for him than the daughter of such a man?
4900	If defeated, what would become of the King''s authority, with rebellious troops triumphant in rebellious provinces?
4900	If neither of those days should suit you, could you kindly suggest another day?
4900	If she lose these opportunities, who can look for other but dishonour and destruction?
4900	If so much had been done by Holland and Zealand, how much more might be hoped when all the provinces were united?
4900	If so, how were they to be dislodged before their work was perfected?
4900	If so, was he willing to approve that treaty in all its articles?
4900	If such idiotic calumnies could be believed, what patriot in the world could not be doubted?
4900	If the Spaniard has designs against our State, has he not cause?
4900	If the twain as Holland wished, had become of one flesh, would England have been the loser?
4900	In whose- name and by what authority did they act against the sovereign?
4900	Is France to be saved by opening all its gates to Spain?
4900	Is France to be turned out of France, to make a lodging for the Lorrainer and the Spaniard?"
4900	Is it because she is hearkening to a peace?
4900	Is it drawn by pencils hostile to the English nation or the English Queen?
4900	Is it not better to deal with murder and oppression in the abstract, without entering into trivial details?
4900	Is it not evident that Lord Clarendon suggested the idea which Mr. Motley repelled as implying an insidious mode of action?
4900	Is it not obvious what manner of men they are?
4900	Is it possible that any wordly respect can efface the terror of Divine wrath?
4900	Is it strange that the Queen of England was deceived?
4900	Is not the example of Julich fresh?
4900	Is there anything else you seek?"
4900	Is there no envoy from Utrecht and the other Provinces?"
4900	Is there yet any appeal among the most civilized nations except to the logic of the largest battalions and the eloquence of the biggest guns?
4900	Is this my recompense for forty- three years''service to these Provinces?"
4900	Is this picture exaggerated?
4900	Is this young man also a minister?"
4900	Jeannin was present at the interview, although, as Aerssens well observed, the King required no pedagogue on such an occasion?
4900	La Motte asked when he had concluded,"Did my Lord say Amen?"
4900	Maurice was thus on the wrong side of the great channel by which Sluy''s communicated with the sea?
4900	Meantime Ancel was deputed by Henry to visit the various courts of Germany and the north in order to obtain, if possible, new members for the league?
4900	Meantime a resolution was passed by the States of Holland"in regard to the question whether Ambassador Aerssens should retain his office, yes or no?"
4900	Might not a shudder come over the souls of men as coming events vaguely shaped themselves to prophetic eyes?
4900	Moreover, who would not rather be a horse- keeper to her Majesty, than a captain to Barneveld or Buys?"
4900	Need men look further than to this simple fact to learn why Spain was decaying while the republic was rising?
4900	Need more be said to indicate the inevitable ruin of both government and people?
4900	O, have you been in Brabant, fighting for the states?
4900	O, have you brought back anything except your broken pates?
4900	On the other hand, what good could it do to the cause of peace, that these wonderful instructions should be published throughout the republic?
4900	Others asked him how long since he had sold himself to the Devil?
4900	Otherwise how could there be unanimous voting in parliament?
4900	Our enemies spare neither their money nor their labor; will ye be colder and duller than your foes?
4900	Renee, the sister of Bussy d''Amboise, had vowed to unite herself to a man who would avenge the assassination of her brother by the Count Montsoreau?
4900	Shall I say anything of Austria,--what can I say that would interest you?
4900	Shall all this be destroyed by the Spanish guns, or shall we rush to the rescue of our friends?"
4900	She was somewhat in a passion, but spoke with majestic moderation?
4900	Should I bestow as much on them as cometh to the value of my whole yearly rent?"
4900	Should I ruin myself for maintaining them?
4900	Should Maurice look calmly on while the enemy, whom he had made so painful a forced march to meet, moved off out of reach before his eyes?
4900	Should Philip administer his new kingdom by a viceroy, or should he appoint a king out of his own family?
4900	Should he continue in the trenches, pressing more and more closely the city already reduced to great straits?
4900	Should he fling himself upon Renty''s division which had so ostentatiously offered battle the day before?
4900	Should he go thence alive and unmolested?
4900	Should he throw himself across the river and rescue the place before it fell?
4900	Should mercenary troops at this late hour be sent for?
4900	Should not this conviction, on the part of men who had so many means of feeling the popular pulse, have given the Queen''s government pause?
4900	Should the whole army mutiny at once, what might become of the kingdom of Spain?
4900	Should they assemble the captains of the Military associations?
4900	Should they call themselves the"Society of Concord,"the restorers of lost liberty, or by what other attractive title should the league be baptized?
4900	Should they issue a proclamation?
4900	Should they summon the ward- masters, and order the instant arming and mustering of their respective companies?
4900	Should we lose many Kentuckians and Virginians who are now with us, if we boldly confiscated the slaves of all rebels?
4900	Tell me, I pray you, what would you do for his Majesty in case anything should be done for you?
4900	That done, what good can be accomplished by our arms?
4900	That monarch was implored to take, the sceptre of France, and to reign over them, inasmuch as they most willingly threw themselves into his arms?
4900	The Prince asked his sanguine partisan if he were still determined to carry out his project, with no more definite support than he had indicated?
4900	The Queen.--"And of the States?"
4900	The Queen.--"Are you sent only from Holland and Zeeland?
4900	The Queen.--"Then how were you sent hither?"
4900	The Queen.--"What?
4900	The assault was then ordered?
4900	The castle was carried, but what would become of the city?
4900	The following is all that has reference to the Prince:"Of what matters may I ordinarily write to his Excellency?"
