Quotes and Images From Motley's History of the Netherlands
Motley, John Lothrop
Quotations
Allowed the demon of religious hatred
to enter into its body
Almost infinite power of the meanest of
passions
Already looking forward to the revolt
of the slave States
Altercation between Luther and Erasmus,
upon predestination
Always less apt to complain of
irrevocable events
American Unholy Inquisition
Amuse them with this peace negotiation
An inspiring and delightful recreation
(auto-da-fe)
An hereditary papacy, a perpetual
pope-emperor
An age when to think was a crime
An unjust God, himself the origin of
sin
An order of things in which mediocrity
is at a premium
Anarchy which was deemed inseparable
from a non-regal form
Anatomical study of what has ceased to
exist
And give advice. Of that, although
always a spendthrift
And now the knife of another priest-led
fanatic
And thus this gentle and heroic spirit
took its flight
Angle with their dissimulation as with
a hook
Announced his approaching marriage with
the Virgin Mary
Annual harvest of iniquity by which his
revenue was increased
Anxiety to do nothing wrong, the
senators did nothing at all
Are apt to discharge such obligations--
(by) ingratitude
Are wont to hang their piety on the
bell-rope
Argument in a circle
Argument is exhausted and either action
or compromise begins
Aristocracy of God's elect
Arminianism
Arrested on suspicion, tortured till
confession
Arrive at their end by fraud, when
violence will not avail them
Artillery
As logical as men in their cups are
prone to be
As the old woman had told the Emperor
Adrian
As if they were free will not make them
free
As lieve see the Spanish as the
Calvinistic inquisition
As ready as papists, with age, fagot,
and excommunication
As with his own people, keeping no
back-door open
As neat a deception by telling the
truth
At a blow decapitated France
At length the twig was becoming the
tree
Atheist, a tyrant, because he resisted
dictation from the clergy
Attachment to a half-drowned land and
to a despised religion
Attacked by the poetic mania
Attacking the authority of the pope
Attempting to swim in two waters
Auction sales of judicial ermine
Baiting his hook a little to his
appetite
Barbara Blomberg, washerwoman of
Ratisbon
Batavian legion was the imperial body
guard
Beacons in the upward path of mankind
Beating the Netherlanders into
Christianity
Beautiful damsel, who certainly did not
lack suitors
Because he had been successful (hated)
Becoming more learned, and therefore
more ignorant
Been already crimination and
recrimination more than enough
Before morning they had sacked thirty
churches
Began to scatter golden arguments with
a lavish hand
Beggars of the sea, as these
privateersmen designated themselves
Behead, torture, burn alive, and bury
alive all heretics
Being the true religion, proved by so
many testimonies
Believed in the blessed advent of
peace
Beneficent and charitable purposes
(War)
best defence in this case is little
better than an impeachment
