4891 | Why should van der Myle strut about, with his arms akimbo like a peacock? |
4891 | 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? |
4891 | Where would you find another king as willing to do it as I am?" |
4889 | But was not Gondemar ever at his elbow, and the Infanta always in the perspective? |
4889 | Could there be a better illustration of the absurdities of such a system of Imperialism? |
4889 | 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?" |
4887 | Ho, ho,said the Duke,"I am wanted for that affair, am I?" |
4887 | What could we desire more,wrote Aerssens to Barneveld,"than open war between France and Spain? |
4887 | And how had the plot been revealed? |
4887 | What do you say to that?" |
4887 | What had the Prince of Conde, his comings and his goings, to do with this vast enterprise? |
4897 | And if a malefactor, why not a lawyer? |
4897 | And my husband might come too? |
4897 | Are there any private letters or papers in the bog? |
4897 | Do you hear what my son says? |
4897 | Is there no cushion or stool to kneel upon? |
4897 | Amen?" |
4897 | The question was,"Did you confiscate the property because the crime was lese- majesty?" |
4897 | Van der Veen gave him his hand, saying:"Sir, you are the man of whom the whole country is talking?" |
4897 | could the Advocate-- among whose first words after hearing of his own condemnation to death were,"And must my Grotius die too?" |
4897 | what a man I was once, and what am I now?" |
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? |
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? |
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? |
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? |
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? |
4892 | And a few years beyond it? |
4892 | As to money--"How much money have I got? |
