themselves in a solemn
consumption of time

Kindly shadow of oblivion

King who thought it furious madness to
resist the enemy

King had issued a general repudiation
of his debts

King set a price upon his head as a
rebel

King of Zion to be pinched to death
with red-hot tongs

King was often to be something much
less or much worse

King's definite and final intentions,
varied from day to day

Labored under the disadvantage of never
having existed

Labour was esteemed dishonourable

Language which is ever living because
it is dead

Languor of fatigue, rather than any
sincere desire for peace

Leading motive with all was supposed to

Learn to tremble as little at
priestcraft as at swordcraft

Leave not a single man alive in the

Little grievances would sometimes

Louis XIII.

Loving only the persons who flattered
him

Ludicrous gravity

Luther's axiom, that thoughts are
toll-free

Lutheran princes of Germany, detested
the doctrines of Geneva

Luxury had blunted the fine instincts
of patriotism

Made peace--and had been at war ever
since

Made no breach in royal and Roman
infallibility

Made to swing to and fro over a slow
fire

Magistracy at that moment seemed to
mean the sword

Magnificent hopefulness

Maintaining the attitude of an injured

Make sheep of yourselves, and the wolf
