wrong, the
senators did nothing at all

Are apt to discharge such obligations--
(by) ingratitude

Are wont to hang their piety on the
bell-rope

Argument in a circle

Argument is exhausted and either action
or compromise begins

Aristocracy of God's elect

Arminianism

Arrested on suspicion, tortured till
confession

Arrive at their end by fraud, when
violence will not avail them

Artillery

As logical as men in their cups are
prone to be

As the old woman had told the Emperor
Adrian

As if they were free will not make them
free

As lieve see the Spanish as the
Calvinistic inquisition

As ready as papists, with age, fagot,
and excommunication

As with his own people, keeping no
back-door open

As neat a deception by telling the
truth

At a blow decapitated France

At length the twig was becoming the
tree

Atheist, a tyrant, because he resisted
dictation from the clergy

Attachment to a half-drowned land and
to a despised religion

Attacked by the poetic mania

Attacking the authority of the pope

Attempting to swim in two waters

Auction sales of judicial ermine

Baiting his hook a little to his
appetite

Barbara Blomberg, washerwoman of
Ratisbon

Batavian legion was the imperial body
guard

Beacons in the upward path of mankind

Beating the Netherlanders into
Christianity

Beautiful damsel, who certainly did not
lack suitors

Because he had been successful (hated)

Becoming more learned, and therefore
more ignorant

Been already crimination and
recrimination more than enough

Before morning they had sacked thirty
churches

Began to scatter golden arguments with
a lavish hand

Beggars of the sea, as these
privateersmen designated themselves

Behead, torture, burn alive, and bury
alive all heretics

Being the true religion, proved by so
many testimonies

Believed in the blessed advent of
peace

Beneficent and charitable purposes
(War)

best defence in this case is little
better than an impeachment

Bestowing upon others what was not his
property

Better to be governed by magistrates
than mobs

Better is the restlessness of a noble
ambition

Beware of a truce even more than of a
peace

Bigotry which was the prevailing
characteristic of the age

Bishop is a consecrated pirate

Blessed freedom from speech-making

Blessing of God upon the Devil's work

Bold reformer had only a new dogma in
place of the old ones

Bomb-shel
