Putting the cart before the oxen

Queen is entirely in the hands of Spain
and the priests

Questioning nothing, doubting nothing,
fearing nothing

Quite mistaken: in supposing himself
the Emperor's child

Radical, one who would uproot, is a man
whose trade is dangerous

Rarely able to command, having never
learned to obey

Rashness alternating with hesitation

Rather a wilderness to reign over than
a single heretic

Readiness to strike and bleed at any
moment in her cause

Readiness at any moment to defend
dearly won liberties

Rearing gorgeous temples where paupers
are to kneel

Reasonable to pay our debts rather than
to repudiate them

Rebuked him for his obedience

Rebuked the bigotry which had already
grown

Recall of a foreign minister for
alleged misconduct in office

Reformer who becomes in his turn a
bigot is doubly odious

Reformers were capable of giving a
lesson even to inquisitors

Religion was made the strumpet of
Political Ambition

Religion was rapidly ceasing to be the
line of demarcation

Religion was not to be changed like a
shirt

Religious toleration, which is a phrase
of insult

Religious persecution of Protestants by
Protestants

Repentance, as usual, had come many
hours too late

Repentant males to be executed with the
sword

Repentant females to be buried alive

Repose under one despot guaranteed to
them by two others

Repose in the other world, "Repos
ailleurs"

Republic, which lasted two centuries

Republics are said to be ungrateful

Repudiation of national debts was never
heard of before

Requires less mention than Philip III
himself

Resolve to maintain the civil authority
over the military

Resolved thenceforth to adopt a system
of ignorance

Respect for differences in religious
opinions

Result was both to abandon the
provinces and to offend Philip

Revocable benefices or feuds

Rich enough to be worth robbing

Righteous to kill their own children

Road to Paris lay through the gates of
Rome

Rose superior to his doom and took
captivity captive

Round game of deception, in which
nobody was deceived

Royal plans should be enforced
adequately or abandoned entirely

Ruinous honors

Rules adopted in regard to pretenders
to crowns

Sacked and drowned ten infant princes

Sacrificed by the Queen for faithfully
obeying her orders

Safest citadel against an invader and a
tyrant is distrust

Sages of every g
