21431A Rhomb, Child?
21431An Hour?
21431And am I not?
21431And have you nothing more to tell him?
21431And is that alle?
21431And what have you now in Hand, Uncle?
21431And why not at once?
21431And why not for_ God''s_ Sake?
21431And why?
21431As well tell her now,sayd he to_ Rose_; and then taking my Hand,"Oh, Mrs._ Milton_, can you wonder that your Husband should be angry?
21431Did you say_ Jack Phillips_ was sick?
21431Hard?
21431How came she to know him at all?
21431How can you suppose soe, my Deare?
21431I mean, what of your own?
21431Is Uncle still at his great Work?
21431Nay,says Father,"and what if I did?
21431No; have_ you_ seen the Proof that_ London_, not_ Rome_, is the City on seven Hills? 21431 Or am I shiny about the Shoulders?"
21431Sobriety?
21431Sure what can it signify,_ Anne_ asks, turning short round upon her;"and especially to you, who would be glad to get quit of me on any Terms?"
21431The Lady, like_ Una_, makes Sunshine in a shady Place; and, in fact, how should it be otherwise? 21431 Was_ Grotius_ grave?"
21431Well, but, dear_ Betty_, what has gone for this copper- coloured Mantle?--_Sylvester''s_''Du Bartas?''
21431Well, then, who is to keepe me from it?
21431Well,resumes_ Anne_, her breath coming quick,"but what''s the Objection to_ John Herring_?"
21431Well,--I fear''tis too late,sayd he at length reluctantlie, I mighte almost say grufflie,--"what am I to write?"
21431What call you an ill Home?
21431What have we for Dinner To- day?
21431What is the best of it?
21431What now?
21431What was that?
21431What was the Adventure?
21431What will_ Mother_ say?
21431Where are alle the red Clouds gone, then?
21431Where but at the Taylor''s in_ Bride''s Churchyard_?
21431Where else?
21431Where''s_ Snow Hill_? 21431 Which of the_ Phillipses_, my Dear?"
21431Why not the King, as well as any of his Commons?
21431Why not?
21431Why should I be?
21431Why, suppose I admitted all this, which I am far from doing,says Uncle,"what was he but a King, except by just Title?
21431Will you but let me try? 21431 Will you try?"
21431Woulde it not have been better to fetch what you wanted, than strangely ask your Mother to bring it?
21431You talk of his offering you a quiet Home: why should you be dissatisfied with your own, where, in the Main, we are all very happy together? 21431 _ John_?
21431''Is_ Philip_ dead?''
21431--"Anie Kitchen- stuffe, have you, Maids?"
21431--"At_ Forest Hill_?"
21431--"Can you play the Lute?"
21431--"Can you sing?"
21431--"Oh, what has happened?"
21431----And for what?
21431--There I stopt him with an Outcry of"Divorce?"
21431--What, and if I had begged as hard, at the firste, to goe back to Mr._ Milton_?
21431--and, at the last,"What_ can_ you do?"
21431: to which the youngest listened greedilie; and at length I was advised to ask them woulde they not like to see_ Forest Hill_?
21431Admit it to have beene dull, even unhealthfulle, were you justified in forsaking it at a Month''s End?
21431After a Pause, I sayd,"What makes you think soe?"
21431After this, he woulde tell us of this and that worn- our[ Transcriber''s note: worn- out?]
21431Alas, why will he chafe against the Chain, and widen the cruel Division between us?
21431All at once, he says,"_ Deb_, are my Sleeves white at the Elbow?"
21431Am I most pleased or payned?
21431Are you comfortable here?"
21431Are you sure the words were not''Bow, wow, wow?''"
21431Are_ Adam_ and_ Abraham_ alle these Yeares in the unconscious Tomb?
21431Asking, are they suitable, under Circumstances of nationall Consternation to_ my owne_ Party, or seemlie in soe young a Wife, apart from her Husband?
21431Askt him, Was she beautifulle?
21431At length, Mother calls from the House,"Who will come in to Strawberries and Cream?"
21431But can I?
21431But what and if that ever comes to pass?
21431But what of this saw we all along the_ Oxford_ Road?
21431But who hath such Virtue?
21431Can Aniething equall the desperate Ingratitude of the human Heart?
21431Can it be?
21431Can this be Happinesse?
21431Chancing to make the above Remark to_ Rose_, she cried,"And why not be happy with him in_ Aldersgate Street_?"
21431Come, what was the Ransom?
21431Did I need her Pity then?
21431Do I offend?
21431Do you call me hard on_ Eve_, and the Lady in_ Comus_?"
21431Do you like_ Chalfont_?"
21431Dost call yon Taylor''s Shop your Home?"
21431For, is a Martyr one who is unwillinglie imprisoned, or who formally recants?
21431For, where doth it convey us?
21431Have we not ample Room here for them alle?
21431Have you seen''the Mysterie of Jesuitism?''"
21431Having read the Same, he says,"But what, my dearest?
21431He askt,"What ails you, precious Wife?"
21431He met a Bee, and sayd,''Bee, wilt thou play with me?''
21431He paused; and knew not at the Moment what Answer to make, but shortlie replyed by another Question,"What Cause had you to be soe?"
21431He provided an Escort, whom your Father beat and drove away.--If you had insisted on going to your Husband, might you not have gone_ then_?
21431He rejoined, What, angry with my sweet_ Moll_?
21431He rejoyned,"But you know I love it, and is not that a Motive?"
21431He sayd, That is Answer enough,--how doth this Puritan carry it with you, my Child?
21431He sayd,''Will you play with me, Ant?''
21431He took me by the two Wrists and sayd, Doe you wish to go?
21431His Estate lying in the King''s Quarters, howe coulde he doe less than adhere to his Majesty''s Partie during this unnaturall War?
21431His Visitts have beene very precious to me: I think he hath some Glimmering of my sad Case: indeed, who knows it not?
21431How blessed a Sabbath!--Can it be, that I thought, onlie two Days back, I shoulde never know Peace agayn?
21431How can I write to him without betraying_ Dick_?
21431How can you promise never to think of him?
21431How can you wonder at anie Evil that may result from the Provocation you have given him?
21431How hath it come soe, and how may it be preserved?
21431How is it with you, and what''s the News?"
21431How strange, how joyfulle an Event, tho''brought about with Teares!--Can it be, that it is onlie a Month since I stoode at this Toilette as a Bride?
21431How was it there was none of this before I married, when they might have me alwaies?
21431I am sure, my Dear,"appealing to Father,"you think well in the main of_ Betty_?"
21431I answered,"Nay, what to tell me of Sir_ Thomas More''s_ Wife, or of_ Hugh Grotius''s_ Wife, when I was the Wife of_ John Milton_?"
21431I askt,"What, the_ King''s_ Parliament at_ Oxford_?"
21431I askt,"Why not write in your owne Tongue?"
21431I could catch such Fragments as,"But, Sir?"
21431I coulde not helpe asking if she did not meane how charming was the Philosophie of one particular Divine?
21431I grudge at the Puritans for having abolished it; and though I felt not its comprehensive Fullessse[ Transcriber''s note: Fullnesse?]
21431I had noe Patience with her; but, returning to Father, askt him if he had not heard the Latch click?
21431I made bold to pursue:--"What was she like?"
21431I sayd, but was it not the_ Jewish_ Law, which had made such Restrictions?
21431I sayd,"And what if I were unhappie?"
21431I sayd,"Is_ Father_ ill?"
21431I sayd,"What is the Matter?"
21431I sayd,"when I am soe happy here?
21431I whispered fearfullie,"What is''t?--a Thief under the Bed?"
21431I wish I were fonder of Studdy; but, since it can not be, what need to vex?
21431Is it any Reason we should not dwell in a House, because St._ Jerome_ lived in a Cave?
21431Is it not soe, sweet_ Moll_?
21431Is it not soe?"
21431Is it soe?
21431Is my Taste bettering, or my Temper worsenning?
21431Is not that divine?"
21431It can not be that I am he On whom thy Tempests fell alle Night?
21431Just then,_ Dick_ comes in with his usual blunt Salutations, and then cries,"Well,_ Moll_, are you ready to goe back?"
21431Kissing his Hand reverently, he says,--"Honoured_ Nunks_, how fares it with you?
21431Leave_ Oxon_ they must; but where to goe?
21431Man or Woman, who art thou that questionest the Will of God?
21431May I express thy Feelings as well as mine own, unblamed?
21431Meanwhile, how woulde I have them?
21431Mother here puts in,"What other Places?"
21431Mr._ Milton_ lookt surprised and hurte, and sayd, how could he be expected to part soe soone with me, a Month''s Bride?
21431Must I leave Home?
21431Needed I have done it, merelie to heare there was one who soughte my Favour?
21431Now, is such the Character to make_ Milton_ happy?"
21431Occhi, Stelle mortali, Ministre de miei Mali, Se, chiusi, m''uccidete, Aperti, che farete?
21431Oh!----that we should live but a two Hours''Journey apart, and that she coulde lose a Child three Months olde_ whom I had never seene_?
21431On dispersing for the Night, he noted, somewhat hurt,_ Anne''s_ abrupt Departure without kissing his Hand, and sayd,"Is she sulky or unwell?"
21431One of my old Books, or my new Coat?"
21431Postpone it till----""Till when?"
21431Pray, what is it to us, whether_ Philip_ is sick or not?"
21431Sayd, kissing him,"Dear Father, how is''t with you?
21431Shall I indeede ever see it?
21431Shall I now destroy the disgracefulle Records of this blotted Book?
21431Shall I tell him?"
21431She changed Colour, and in a faltering Voice sayd,"Ah,_ Cousin_, do you know what that is?
21431She laught, and sayd,"Pleasant?
21431Should the Debt of ten thousand Talents be cancelled, and not the Debt of a hundred Pence?
21431Soe I laught, and gave it her forthe, and she put into my Hand two Shillings; but then says,"Why, where''s the Cheese?"
21431Speake,_ Moll_, are you of your_ Mother''s_ Mind to give up Mr._ Milton_ altogether?"
21431Sure, he will not throw himselfe into the Hands of Parliament?
21431Sure, you would not call our Lord by the Name of a heathen Deity?"
21431The Youth is bewitched with her, I think; what has a Woman to do with Logique?
21431Theire Bodies, but surelie not their Spiritts?
21431Then I thought on that same Word, Talents; and considered, had I ten, or even one?
21431Then says_ Father_,"Well, Wife, have you got the five hundred Pounds?"
21431Then, alle at once it occurred to me that my Husband was awaiting me at Home, and I cried,"Oh, is Mr._ Milton_ at_ Forest Hill_?"
21431Then, it must be, I was forgiven by_ God_; and why?
21431There, are you anie wiser now?
21431Thus we rub on; I wonder if we ever shall pull all together?
21431Walking together, this Morning,_ Rose_ was avised to say,"Did Mr._ Milton_ ever tell you the Adventures of the_ Italian_ Lady?"
21431Were you not happy with Mr._ Milton_ during the Week you spent together here at_ Sheepscote_?"
21431What Meaning coulde she possibly affix to such Folly?"
21431What Pole is not the Zone Where alle Things burn, when thou dost turn, And the least Frown of thine is shewn?
21431What are we to doe, or how live, despoyled of alle?
21431What had become, meantime, of your Commonwealth?"
21431What has become, even now, of alle my gay Visions of Marriage, and_ London_, and the Play- houses, and the_ Touire_?
21431What if he woulde consent to take my Brother under his Charge?
21431What strange Fable or Masque were they reading that Day at_ Sheepscote_?
21431What would_ Mother_ say to his bringing me to such a Home as this?
21431When learnt you to love it?"
21431While erasing the obnoxious Word, I cried,"Dear Father, pray answer me one Question-- What is a Rhomb?"
21431Who knoweth what a Daye will bring forth?
21431Who shall say,''What doest Thou?''"
21431Who would have thought my shrivelled Heart Woulde have recovered greenness?
21431Why art thou cast down, my Heart?
21431Why should not we dwell in Peace, in this quiet little Nest, instead of rendering our Home liker to a Cage of unclean Birds?"
21431Why then mighte not Mr._ Milton_ some Day forgive me?
21431Why was_ Nan_ out of the Way?
21431Why, then, am I soe feared, soe mazed, soe prone to weeping?
21431Will you let me write to him?"
21431With alle my Interest for Children, how is it possible to take anie Interest in soe formall a little Prigge?
21431Yet it can not be right to take up Arms agaynst constituted Authorities?--Yet, and if those same Authorities abuse their Trust?
21431Yet what becomes of the Daye of generall Judgment, if some be thus pre- judged?
21431Yet, would she have made Things better?
21431You fly from Collision with jarring Minds: what Security have you for more Forbearance among your new Connexions?
21431_ Kate_ saw him firste, and tolde me; and then sayd,"What makes you look soe pale?"
21431_ Rose_ started, and exclaimed,"Why, where do you suppose him to be now?"
21431am I agayn at_ Forest Hill_?
21431and for spending a few Days with her old Father?
21431and how was Mr._ Milton_ when he wrote to you last?"
21431and is it thus he dares address a Daughter of mine?
21431and lay awake on that Bed, thinking of_ London_?
21431and the rare Shops, and the Play- houses, and_ Paul''s_, and the_ Towre_?
21431and then Mother cries,"How often,_ Deb_, shall I bid you lock the Gate at nine o''clock, and bring me in the Key?"
21431and_ Father_ and_ Mother_, and the Boys?
21431can it be possible?
21431coulde anie Home, however dull and noisesome, drive me from_ Roger Agnew_?
21431cries_ Mother_, turning sharplie towards me, as I sate mute and fearfulle,"what is alle this, Child?
21431dear_ Forest Hill_?
21431dismayed or flattered?
21431do you think I mind you?
21431else, why dothe_ Christ_ speak of_ Lazarus_ lying in_ Abraham''s_ Bosom, while the Brothers of_ Dives_ are yet riotouslie living?
21431even all our Misdoings; or else, how could we bear to tell Him even the least of them?
21431even tho''he affected afterwards to say''twas_ but_ a Form, and cries,"_ Eppure, si muove_?"
21431hath he?
21431hath it come to this alreadie?
21431have I?
21431he hastilie cried,"Can my sweet Wife be indeede Heart of my Heart and Spirit of my Spirit?
21431how coulde I forgive myself for sleeping on now and taking my Rest?
21431how is it with you?
21431how merry I was at Home!--The Source of Cheerfulnesse seemed in me_ then_, and why is it not_ now_?
21431in such Weather as this?"
21431interrupts Father,"does this Concern of ours for you look like it?
21431is he_ John_ with you already?"
21431is this my new Home?
21431might he not have consented_ then_?
21431more especiallie_ Robin_?
21431or am I too adventurous?
21431or can I wish he had beene?
21431peering towards me,"is t''other Mayd gone, then?"
21431quoth Mr._ Milton_,"and what Business hathe the Moon yonder?"
21431quoth she,"deare_ Moll_, you must not deeme him olde; why, he is but fortytwo; and am not I twenty- three?"
21431the other comically answering,"What Marvel?"
21431what Stabilitie?
21431what Sympathie?
21431what are you about there?"
21431what steadfast Principle?
21431who coulde have thoughte it?)
21431why art thou disquieted within me?
14380Although I have this set home to my spirit,Cromwell wrote in reply,"I may not( shall I tell you I_ can not_?)
14380Is it just or reasonable that most voices, against the main end of Government, should enslave the less number that would be free? 14380 That the politic casuists of the Coffee Club in Bow Street[ had the Rota adjourned thither, or was this some other debating Club?]
14380Where had they hats at all, from Moses to Daniel?
14380Why not?
14380Will not their sufferings lie upon you? 14380 ( April 20), was by one who had beena leading person"in the Barebones Parliament( Harrison or Squib?
14380), what was not dared and attempted against them?
14380... whither do these things tend?
1438025, 26][1]... And what Government comes nearer to this precept of Christ than a Free Commonwealth?
14380A Parliament was wanted: what other Parliament could it be than the Rump restored?
14380Amid the cheers that followed, Lords Howard and Falconbridge( two of the denounced"sons of Belial"?)
14380And do they among them who are so forward to bring in the Single Person think to be by him trusted or long regarded?
14380And even now, after Morus''s repeated and studiously- worded denials in his_ Fides Publica_, how did the case stand?
14380And hath that man been true to this Nation, whosoever he be, especially that hath taken an oath, thus to prevaricate?
14380And it was printed, but very negligently, by Samuel Browne at the Hague[ 1649?]
14380And what is like to come upon this, the enemy being ready to invade us, but even present blood and confusion?
14380And what of the use and value of the Scriptures?
14380And what was it?
14380As for the decisions in his favour in the Bontia case by the Walloon Synod and the Supreme Court of Holland, of what worth are they?
14380As they had refused to come back and colonise Ireland, would they not accept Jamaica?
14380At any rate, it behoves all Protestant princes to be on the alert; for who knows how far the Duke of Savoy''s example may spread?
14380Betwixt him[ Milton] and his brother Rabshakeh[ Needham?]
14380But I wish the anonymous author would come forth some time or other openly in his own name.... What then would Milton think?
14380But is not the Address also a recantation of his Oliverianism?
14380But might not Monk himself be invested with the sovereignty?
14380But there was no money; Government in any form was at a deadlock until money could be raised; and how was that to be effected?
14380But was he also partially the author?
14380But what Parliament or what sort of Parliament?
14380But what could be done?
14380But what did you learn from him?
14380But what if I prove by clear evidence that you knew well enough already that the author of this book was another person, not I?
14380But what of poor neighbourhoods that can not maintain pastors and yet need them most sorely?
14380But what of that Toleration of Dissent from the Established Church which he professed to be equally dear to him?
14380But what was meant by"full and free"?
14380But who knew what might be passing in the mind of the crafty Cardinal?
14380But would it do so?
14380But, further, what meant Monk''s very ambiguous utterance respecting the three immediate courses one of which must be chosen?
14380But_ would_ Monk remain true, or would his power avail long in restraining a Parliament the majority of which were Presbyterians and Royalists?
14380Can nothing be done?
14380Can they not be removed?
14380Could not advantage be taken of the present truce?
14380Could there be any mischance in the meantime?
14380Doctor?
14380For the rest, were there not reasons for amending, in other respects, the constitution of the Protectorate?
14380For the rest, where were the Herricks, the Shirleys, the Clevelands, and the other old Royalist wits and satirists of the lighter sort?
14380For what had been the news, and continued to be the news, post after post?
14380For what other evidence had been produced besides Morus''s own word?
14380Had he absconded?
14380Had he not been told two years ago, through Hartlib, that Morus was not the author of the book for which he made him suffer?
14380Had he not for six years been a most conspicuous Cromwellian?
14380Had it not broken down in several matters, and were there not deficiencies in it?
14380Had not Milton, when he learnt by letters from Durie in May 1654 that Morus was disowning-- the book, been entitled to remember these motives?
14380Had not Mr. Henry Neville, for example, been heard to say that he was more affected by some parts of Cicero than by anything in the Bible?
14380Had not the Array now again a title to remember that it ought to be something more than a mere instrument of the existing civil authority?
14380Had not the Secluded Members virtually made a compact with Monk upon these terms?
14380Had there been an express order for closing the Club?]
14380Had they not offered it to him at the institution of the Protectorate, though the title of Protector had been then preferred?
14380He had taken all but the chief part in the foundation of the First Protectorate; why was he absent from the Government of the Second?
14380He was now on his way back to Germany, to assume the post of Councillor to the widowed Duchess of Symmeren(?
14380How came those 200 or 300 officers together?
14380How could he get on after that?
14380How did the Parliament meet the difficulty?
14380How does Milton meet Morus''s protestations of his innocence both at Geneva and in Leyden, and the evidence he adduces in his behalf?
14380How does Morus proceed in the main business of clearing his own character from Milton''s charges?
14380How had it happened?
14380How is this strong statement supported?
14380How was Monk comporting himself?
14380How was it faring with these two tests in this renewed Session of the Rumpers?
14380How was revenue to be raised?
14380How was this?
14380How were Royalist and Anabaptist plottings to be suppressed?
14380How were police regulations about public manners and morals to be enforced?
14380How would these act?
14380If Monk was to do anything at all, was not Prynne''s way the safest and most popular?
14380If heathenism like that infected the Republican opposition, what could any plain honest Christian do but support the Protectorate?
14380If so, for which ought one to wish the victory?
14380If so, what should that intervening and ratifying authority be?
14380If they met without leave in so great a number, were they told their error?
14380If they were called, was it with his Highness''s privity?
14380If this to Cromwell, what to others?
14380If_ he_, whom it was their habit to trust, was prepared to take the Kingship, and saw reasons for it, why should they stand out?
14380Is it not clear too that the London Turretin must have been one of Milton''s informants about Morus''s reasons for leaving Geneva?
14380Is not that an opportunity for the co- operation his Serenity had mentioned?
14380Is this man Coniah a despised broken idol?

14380True, she was Roman Catholic, and the more the pity; but what did that concern England?
14380Was it not still the old English Army, always doing the real hard work of the State, and entitled therefore to some real voice in State- affairs?

14380Was there ever such an unfortunate as Morus?
14380Was there not enough to do at home?
14380We say"at last,"for had he not been recommended for the precise post by Milton four years and a half before under the Rump Government?

14380Who would have thought to find the future author of the_ Institutio Theologiæ Elencticæ_ used by Milton for postal purposes?
14380Why be always at war with Spain?
14380Why does he not deny the Pelletta charge and the Bontia charge, and the other charges, one by one specifically, and in a downright manner?
14380Why does he not go back to Geneva, face the living witnesses and the documentary evidence there waiting him, and abide the issue?

14380With what feelings was it that Milton found himself once more in the employment of his old masters, the original Republicans or Commonwealth''s- men?
14380Would Monk persevere in that championship of the ill- treated Rump which he had so boldly undertaken?
14380Would Monk''s own officers risk such a consequence?
14380Would Richard, with his recent experience, allow the officers to reassemble in general council?
14380Would it ever be, or would Monk''s army and Lambert''s come into clash at last?
14380Would it not be only God''s justice if Lambert,"the secret author and fomenter of these disturbances,"should be disgraced and overthrown?
14380Would not Fleetwood be beforehand with Monk, and himself be the agent of the unavoidable restoration?
14380Would they suffer nine of their old officers to be disgraced and ruined?
