joins Hypocrisy it is carried away by Superstition.
Spenser says the "simplicity of truth" abides with the common people,
especially of the rural districts, it is lost to towns and the luxurious
great. The historical reference is to Queen Mary, in whose reign Una
(_the Re__formation_) was carried captive, and religion, being mixed up
with hypocrisy, degenerated into superstition, but the rural population
adhered to the simplicity of the Protestant faith.--Spenser, _Fa[:e]ry
Queen_, i. 2 (1590).

=Sansonetto=, a Christian regent of Mecca, vicegerent of
Charlemagne.--Ariosto, _Orlando Furioso_ (1516).

=Santa Klaus= (1 _syl._), the Dutch name of St. Nicholas, the patron saint
of youth.

=Santiago= [_Sent.yah'.go_], the war-cry of Spain; adopted because St.
James (_Sant Iago_) rendered, according to tradition, signal service to
a Christian king of Spain in a battle against the Moors.

=Santiago for Spain.= This saint was James, son of Zebedee, brother of
John. He was beheaded, and caught his head in his hands as it fell. The
Jews were astonished, but when they touched the body they found it so
cold that their hands and arms were paralyzed.--Francisco Xavier,
_A[~n]ales de Galicia_ (1733).

_Santiago's Head._ When Santiago went to Spain in his marble ship, he
had no head on his body. The passage took seven days, and the ship was
steered by the "presiding hand of Providence."--_Espa[~n]a Sagrada_, xx.
6.

_Santiago had two heads._ One of his heads is at Braga, and one at
Compostella.

_Santiago lead the armies of Spain._ Thirty-eight instances of the
interference of this saint are gravely set down as facts in the
_Chronicles of Galicia_, and this is super-added: "These instances are
well known, but I hold it for certain that the appearances of Santiago
in our victorious armies have been much more numerous, and in fact that
every victory obtained by the Spaniards has been really achieved by
this great captain." Once when the rider on the white horse was asked in
battle who he was, he distinctly made answer, "I am the soldier of the
King of kings, and my name is James."--Don Miguel Erce Gimenez, _Armas i
Triunfos del Reino de Galicia_, 648-9.

The true name of this saint was Jacobo.... We have first shortened
Santo Jacobo into _Santo Jac'o_. We clipped it again into _Sant'
Jaco_, and by changing the _J_ into _I_ and the _c_ into _g_, we
get _Sant-Iago_. In household names we convert Iago i
