Sivu 102 - I find His Grace my very good lord indeed, and I believe he doth as singularly favour me as any subject within this realm. Howbeit, son Roper, I may tell thee, I have no cause to be proud thereof, for if my head would win him a castle in France (for then was there war betwixt us), it should not fail to go.
Sivu 150 - Dominus dedit, Dominus abstulit; sicut Domino placuit, ita factum est : sit nomen Domini benedictum

Sivu 321 - ... to sit down with them. Soon after, Ocane, the lord of the country, came in, all naked excepting a loose mantle, and shoes, which he put off as soon as he came in, and entertaining the baron after his best manner in the Latin tongue, desired him to put off his apparel...
Sivu 55 - And then I demanded of him what his articles were. And he said one was that he and his company would go to London of pilgrimage to the King's highness, and there to have all vile blood of his Council put from him, and all noble blood set up again ; and also the Faith of Christ and His laws to be kept, and full restitution of Christ's Church of all wrongs done unto it ; and also the Commonalty to be used as they should be...
Sivu 186 - Think ye not that we can, by any sophistical subtleties, steal out of the world again the light which every man doth see. Christ hath so lightened the world at this time that the light of the Gospel hath put to flight all misty darkness; and it will shortly have the higher hand of all clouds, though we resist in vain never so much.
