Looking in at what is called in Dullborough 'the serious bookseller's, where, in my childhood, I had studied the faces of numbers of gentlemen depicted in rostrums with a gaslight on each side of them, and casting my eyes over the open pages of certain printed discourses there, I found a vast deal of aiming at jocosity and dramatic effect, even in them yes, verily, even on the part of one very wrathful expounder who bitterly anathematised a poor little Circus.
The word of God exists in something else. It has been the practice of all Christian commentators on the Bible, and of all Christian priests and preachers, to impose the Bible on the world as a mass of truth, and as the word of God; they have disputed and wrangled, and have anathematised each other about the supposable meaning of particular parts and passages therein; one has said and insisted that such a passage meant such a thing; another, that it meant directly the contrary; and a third, that it meant neither the one nor the other, but something different from both; and this they have called understanding the Bible.
And he had agreed to forgo this the one real rest and refreshment life afforded him, to "suffer gladly" the insistent trivialities of hill-station life, merely, forsooth, because a woman had asked it of him. He anathematised himself for an inconsistent weak-minded fool. But he had no intention of breaking his promise to Mrs Desmond.
But Lanyard was moving too swiftly to be affected by this last circumstance; the first he anathematised with the perfunctory bitterness of a skilled artisan who sees his work in a fair way to be obstructed by elemental depravity.
After painfully holding his head a little while, he turned it to his visitor, and said, with an effort to be easy: 'And how is your father, Young John? How ha how are they all, Young John? 'Thank you, sir, They're all pretty well, sir. They're not any ways complaining. 'Hum. You are in your ha old business I see, John? said Mr Dorrit, with a glance at the offending bundle he had anathematised.
This fact is the more curious, because Ochino was one of that small and audacious band of Italian reformers, anathematised alike by Wittenberg, by Geneva, by Zurich, and by Rome, from which the Socinian sect deduces its origin. Lady Bacon was doubtless a lady of highly cultivated mind after the fashion of her age.
This was affirmed according to previous examples, and testimony from Augustine, Cyril, and others. Theodoret's writings against Cyril were also anathematised. In the sixth session, the same was done with the letter of Ibas.
She had brought no coat with her, and, now that the mist was rising, she felt chilled to the bone, and she heartily anathematised her carelessness for getting into such a scrape. And then, all at once, across the water came the welcome sound of a human voice: "Ahoy! Ahoy there!"
It is significant of the modesty of the Unitarian that he does not emerge from this retirement even to cry, "I told you so," to a Church which is coming more and more to accept the simplicity of his once ridiculed and anathematised theology. "You must regard modernism," I said to Dr. Jacks on one occasion, "as a vindication of the Unitarian attitude."
