The culprit had been very obstreperous, and absolutely refused to obey the summons, with many expressions of contempt and defiance against the authority of the court; upon which the constables were ordered to bring him to the bar, vi et armis; and he was accordingly brought before the judge, after having made a most desperate resistance with a hanger, by which one of the officers was dangerously wounded.
The question in the House of Lords was, to enforce the execution of the Stamp-act in the colonies 'vi et armis'. What conclusions you will draw from these premises, I do not know; but I protest I draw none; but only stare at the present undecipherable state of affairs, which, in fifty years' experience, I have never seen anything like.
Armis laudare, i.e. armis concussis. "Montesquieu is of opinion that in this Treatise on the manners of the Germans, an attentive reader may trace the origin of the British constitution.

Looking up, I saw Fortunio in a transport of passion. "Fool little fool! Will you be like all the commentators? Will you forget what Virgil has said and put your own nonsense into his golden mouth?" He stepped across, picked up the book, found the passage, and then turning back a page or so, read out "Saepta armis solioque alte subnixa resedit." "Alte!
To couple "aut" with "nec" was a wrong correlative. The rule was so absolute that I know but of one Roman writer who infringed it; and that was because he was a poet, Ovid: "Nec piget, aut unquam stulte elegisse videbor." Her.
