The Hague
1566, the last year of peace
A pleasantry called voluntary
contributions or benevolences
A good lawyer is a bad Christian
A terrible animal, indeed, is an
unbridled woman
A common hatred united them, for a time
at least
A penal offence in the republic to talk
of peace or of truce
A most fatal success
A country disinherited by nature of its
rights
A free commonwealth—was thought an
absurdity
A hard bargain when both parties are
losers
A burnt cat fears the fire
A despot really keeps no accounts, nor
need to do so
A sovereign remedy for the disease of
liberty
A pusillanimous peace, always possible
at any period
A man incapable of fatigue, of
perplexity, or of fear
A truce he honestly considered a
pitfall of destruction
A great historian is almost a statesman
Able men should be by design and of
purpose suppressed
About equal to that of England at the
same period
Absolution for incest was afforded at
thirty-six livres
Abstinence from unproductive
consumption
Abstinence from inquisition into
consciences and private parlour
Absurd affectation of candor
Accepting a new tyrant in place of the
one so long ago deposed
Accustomed to the faded gallantries
Achieved the greatness to which they

Act of Uniformity required Papists to
assist
Acts of violence which under pretext of
religion
Admired or despised, as if he or she
were our contemporary
Adulation for inferiors whom they
despise
Advanced orthodox party-Puritans
Advancing age diminished his tendency
to other carnal pleasures
Advised his Majesty to bestow an annual
bribe upon Lord Burleigh
Affecting to discredit them
Affection of his friends and the
