Pàgina 47 - I'd rather have been born, ere man was blest With the pure dawn of Revelation's light, . Yes, — rather plunge me back in Pagan night, And take my chance with Socrates for bliss...
Pàgina 60 - The anathemas of the church were fortified by a sort of civil excommunication, which separated them from their fellow.citizens by a peculiar brand of infamy ; and this declaration of the supreme magistrate tended to justify, or at least to excuse, the insults of a fanatic populace. The sectaries were gradually disqualified for the possession of honourable or lucrative employments; and Theodosius was satisfied with his own justice, when he decreed that, as the Eunomians distinguished the nature of...
Pàgina 3 - ... same at any time when they had them best; and if any statutes have been made by us or our ancestors, or any customs brought in contrary to them, or any manner of article contained in this present charter, we will and grant, that such manner of statutes and customs shall be void and frustrate for evermore.
