Sivu 42 - A man so various, that he seemed to be Not one, but all mankind's epitome: Stiff in opinions, always in the wrong, Was everything by starts, and nothing long; But, in the course of one revolving moon, Was chemist, fiddler, statesman, and buffoon: Then all for women, painting, rhyming, drinking, Besides ten thousand freaks that died in thinking.
Sivu 99 - LORD, I have loved the habitation of thy house, and the place where thine honour dwelleth.
Sivu 324 - because no manner of person shall mis-judge of the intent of this statute, " it is enacted, that whosoever shall notify that any eating of fish or forbearing of flesh mentioned therein is of any necessity for the saving of the soul of man , or that it is the service of God, otherwise than as other politic laws are and be; that then such persons shall be punished as spreaders of false news, §. 39 and 40.
Sivu 42 - In the worst inn's worst room, with mat half -hung, The floors of plaster, and the walls of dung, On once a flock-bed, but repaired with straw, With tape-tied curtains, never meant to draw, The George and Garter dangling from that bed Where tawdry yellow strove with dirty red, Great Villiers lies...
Sivu 426 - I have eaten his bread, and served him near thirty years, and will not do so base a thing as to forsake him; and choose rather to lose my life (which I am sure I shall do) to preserve and defend those things which are against my conscience to preserve and defend : for I will deal freely with you, I have no reverence for the bishops, for whom this quarrel [subsists.]" It was not a time to dispute; and his affection to the church had never been suspected.
Sivu 18 - tis a most pretty shew : Through Cheapside and Fenchurch-street, and so to Aldgate pump, Each man with 's spurs in 's horses sides, and his back-sword cross his rump. My lord he takes a staff in hand to beat the bushes o'er ; I must confess it was a work he ne'er had done before. A creature bounceth from a bush, which made them all to laugh ; My lord, he cried, a hare a hare, but it proVd an Essex calf.
Sivu 290 - ... have been effected with the lapse of vast periods of time, though no reliable standard seems to be available whereby these periods are to be measured. The argument from geological evidence is strongly in favour of an interval of probably not much less- than 100 million years since the earliest form of life appeared upon the earth, and the oldest stratified rocks began to be laid down.
Sivu 168 - Free chapels (says the learned and accurate Bishop Tanner) were places of religious worship, exempt from all ordinary jurisdiction, save only that the incumbents were generally instituted by the bishop, and inducted by the archdeacon of the place. Most of these chapels were built upon the manors and ancient demesnes of the crown, whilst in the king's hands, for the use of himself and retinue when he came to reside there. And when the crown parted with those estates, the chapels went along with them,...
Sivu 325 - The king's majesty, considering that due and godly abstinence is a mean to virtue, and to subdue men's bodies to their soul and spirit ; and considering also specially that fishers and men using the trade of living by fishing in the sea, may thereby the rather be set on work, and that by eating of fish much flesh shall be saved and increased...
Sivu 12 - J will tempt me again to quote from this most valuable and unique record : — " And if any default shall be found in the bread of a baker of the City, the first time let him be drawn upon a hurdle from the Guildhall to his own house, through the great streets, where there may be most people assembled, and through the great streets that are most dirty, with the faulty loaf hanging from his neck.
