Sayfa 150 - I call upon the honor of your Lordships, to reverence the dignity of your ancestors, and to maintain your own. I call upon the spirit and humanity of my country, to vindicate the national character. I invoke the genius of the Constitution. From the tapestry that adorns these walls, the immortal ancestor of this noble Lord frowns with indignation at the disgrace of his...
Sayfa 151 - My Lords, this awful subject, so important to our honour, our constitution, and our religion, demands the most solemn and effectual inquiry; and I again call upon your lordships, and the united powers of the state, to examine it thoroughly and decisively, and to stamp upon it an indelible stigma of the public abhorrence.
Sayfa 150 - These abominable principles, and this more abominable avowal of them, demand the most decisive indignation. I call upon that right reverend bench, those holy ministers of the Gospel, and pious pastors of our church; I conjure them to join in the holy work, and vindicate the religion of their God. I appeal to the wisdom and the law of this learned bench to defend and support the justice of their country. I call upon the bishops...
Sayfa 92 - It is astonishing what a different result one gets by changing the metaphor ! Once call the brain an intellectual stomach, and one's ingenious conception of the classics and geometry as ploughs and harrows seems to settle nothing. But then it is open to...
Sayfa 151 - My Lords, I am old and weak, and at present unable to say more; but my feelings and indignation were too strong- to have said less. I could not have slept this night in my bed, nor reposed my head on my pillow, without giving this vent to my eternal abhorrence of such preposterous and enormous principles.
Sayfa 63 - The burden of proof in any proceeding lies at first on that party against whom the judgment of the Court would be given if no evidence at all were produced on either side, regard being had to any presumption which may appear upon the pleadings.
Sayfa 175 - We charge him with having broken his coronation oath; and we are told that he kept his marriage vow! We accuse him of having given up his people to the merciless inflictions of the most hot-headed and hard-hearted of prelates; and the defence is that he took his little son on his knee, and kissed him!
Sayfa 175 - Right, after having for good and valuable consideration promised to observe them, and we are informed that he was accustomed to hear prayers at six o'clock in the morning...
Sayfa 92 - For the force of a similitude not being to prove anything to a contrary disputer, but only to explain to a willing hearer: when that is done, the rest is a most tedious prattling, rather overswaying the memory from the purpose whereto they were applied, than any whit informing the judgment, already either satisfied, or by similitudes not to be satisfied.
Sayfa 126 - It is now no crime for a man who is within the description of that act to say he is a dissenter, nor is it any crime for him not to take the sacrament according to the rites of the Church of England ; nay, the crime is if he does it contrary to the dictates of his conscience. If it is a crime not to take the sacrament at church, it must be a crime by some law, which must be either common or statute law, the canon law enforcing it being dependent wholly upon the statute law.
