Had this occurred in Shakspeare, instead of Bacon, we should have had a series of variorum notes like this: Vol. "That sixpence was the word used by our author scarcely admits of doubt. From a number of parallel passages we select the following: 'Live on sixpence a day, and earn it. Abernethy. 'I give thee sixpence? I will see thee and-so-forthed first! Canning.

A little later Archbishop Egbert of York, in his Dialogus de Institutione Ecclesiastica, though more cautiously, admits that when one of two married persons is infirm the other, with the permission of the infirm one, may marry again, but the infirm one is not allowed to marry again during the other's life.

Nor is there a transgression, even when gratified, if reason and faith control the inclination and direct it along the lines laid down by the divine and natural laws. Outside of this, all manners, shapes and forms of lust are grievous sins, for the law admits no levity of matter. No further investigation, at the present time, into the essence of this vice is necessary.

All the circumstances, accompaniments, and results of domestic jealousy in their completely typical form, are well illustrated by a very serious episode in the history of the Pepys household, and have been fully and faithfully set down by the great diarist. The offence an embrace of his wife's lady-help, as she might now be termed was a slight one, but, as Pepys himself admits, quite inexcusable.

He admits, however, that twice during that period he fell asleep, but it was only for a few minutes each time; and long years of being constantly alert for possible marauders out there in the wilds of Australia have tended to make his sleep so light that anything heavier than a cat's footfall wakes him on the instant.

He could not understand such language, and seemed to be unable to descend to it from his higher meditations. All that he could say was: "Your benefactor, Richelieu?" The Capuchin smiled, and, drawing nearer, continued in an undertone: "Policy admits of no benefits; it contains nothing but interest.

As he rejects spontaneous generation, and admits of intervention at the beginning of organic life, and probably in more than one instance, he is not wholly excluded from adopting the middle view, although the interventions he would allow are few and far back. Yet one interposition admits the principle as well as more.

This French method, however, is eminently characteristic, and it is linked by invisible ties to their respect for custom and fashion, to the Catholic and dualist instinct which admits two truths, two contradictory worlds, and accepts quite naturally what is magical, incomprehensible, and arbitrary in God, the king, or language.

The tact and skill of the French were such that, as Hendry admits, reluctantly enough, the Indians were already strongly attached to them.
