eneration, read the
future like a printed scroll

Saint Bartholomew's day

Sale of absolutions was the source of
large fortunes to the priests

Same conjury over ignorant baron and
cowardly hind

Scaffold was the sole refuge from the
rack

Scepticism, which delights in reversing
the judgment of centuries

Schism in the Church had become a
public fact

Schism which existed in the general
Reformed Church

Science of reigning was the science of
lying

Scoffing at the ceremonies and
sacraments of the Church

Secret drowning was substituted for
public burning

Secure the prizes of war without the
troubles and dangers

Security is dangerous

Seeking protection for and against the
people

Seem as if born to make the idea of
royalty ridiculous

Seemed bent on self-destruction

Seems but a change of masks, of
costume, of phraseology

Sees the past in the pitiless light of
the present

Self-assertion--the healthful but not
engaging attribute

Self-educated man, as he had been a
self-taught boy

Selling the privilege of eating eggs
upon fast-days

Senectus edam maorbus est

Sent them word by carrier pigeons

Sentiment of Christian self-complacency

Sentimentality that seems highly
apocryphal

Served at their banquets by hosts of
lackeys on their knees

Seven Spaniards were killed, and seven
thousand rebels

Sewers which have ever run beneath
decorous Christendom

Shall Slavery die, or the great
Republic?

Sharpened the punishment for reading
the scriptures in private

She relieth on a hope that will deceive
her

She declined to be his procuress

She knew too well how women were
treated in that country

Shift the mantle of religion from one
shoulder to the other

Shutting the stable-door when the steed
is stolen

Sick soldiers captured on the water
should be hanged

Sick and wounded wretches were burned
over slow fires

Simple truth was highest skill

Sixteen of their best ships had been
sacrificed

Slain four hundred and ten men with his
own hand

Slavery was both voluntary and
compulsory

Slender stock of platitudes

Small matter which human folly had
dilated into a great one

Smooth words, in the plentiful lack of
any substantial

So much responsibility and so little
power

So often degenerated into tyranny
(Calvinism)

So much in advance of his time as to
favor religious equality

So unconscious of her strength

Soldier of the cross
