עמוד 256 - And white robes were given unto every one of them ; and it was said unto them , that they should rest yet for a little season, until their fellowservants also and their brethren, that should be killed as they were, should be fulfilled.
עמוד 262 - I commit myself wholly to God, who in the greatness of His power and of his mercy, will sustain me, though the whole earth itself should rise up against me, so long as I maintain the Truth, for the glory of His name. He will not deny me, if I do not deny Him. Fidelis est Deus qui non sinit nos tentari supra id quod possumus; and I thank God most heartily that I have been thus long spared to end my life as a witness of His truth. — Now do as you list, for I am ready. Life or death you may decree...
עמוד 254 - So he carried me away in the spirit into the wilderness ; and I saw a woman sit upon a scarlet coloured beast, full of names of blasphemy, having seven heads and ten horns.
עמוד 268 - ... to take this to be a fox that preacheth, but know well enough the meaning of the matter, which is to paint out unto us, what hypocrisy, craft, and subtle dissimulation, lieth hid many times in these friars' cowls, willing us thereby to beware of them.

Then he turns to those on his right hand and says, " Come, ye blessed of God ! enter now upon the joy and glory prepared for you from eternity.

עמוד 162 - Cluny, even Cluny, turned aside his head, as if ashamed to witness the scene ; and Harpsfield, who had gone through the whole catalogue of tortures as an executioner, was astonished at such firmness of spirit. At length the sinews of her hand, that were withered by the flame, cracked, and burst asunder. Rose only turned her eyes for a moment and looked upon her hand. Awe-struck, confounded, and even abashed by her magnanimity, Harpsfield dashed the candle on the ground, uttered a horrid oath, and...
עמוד 9 - I deny your crosses of wood and stone," said Wilford; "and you will find that comes under the statute of God's first commandment — 'Thou shall worship no graven image.'" " That is the Levitical law," cried Thornton. " Why, the holy Saint Austin defend us! have we to deal with a Jew here ? " " Shall I write down that Master Wilford confesses only the Levitical law?
עמוד 116 - T, which some expound his encountering with people, men fo'r their shape and sex, but beasts for their cruel minds and manners : in the same sense we may say, that lion, tiger, wolf, bear, yea, a whole forest of wild beasts, met in Bonner...
עמוד 51 - ... degree of perfection, he took hold of a corner of the linen, and, turning to a faithful English mastiff who always accompanied him, said to the animal, in a kind of absence of mind, " There, my poor old friend ! you see how these scoundrels enjoy themselves, and yet how we are treated ! " The poor dog looked up in his master's face, and wagged his tail, as if he understood him.
עמוד 316 - Edward Wilford felt so incensed at this act of hardened insult and cruelty on the part of Harpsfield towards his sister, that he raised his arm to knock him down upon the spot. An officer who stood near saw his purpose, and prevented it, but in the scuffle the torch fell and was extinguished; another flaming brand was speedily procured, and once more the Archdeacon was preparing to fire the pile.
