Whenever those who have known him best, to whom he has manifested his grace most richly, whom he has blessed with most abundant privileges, fall, in some evil hour, and without reason, upon the slightest cause, bring dishonor on his name and give occasion to his enemies to blaspheme, and incur his just judgment, behold how he treats them.
"Surely, surely, sir. I remember once that my faith broke down just for one moment, sir. And then the Lord gave me my way lest I should blaspheme Him in thy wicked heart." "How was that, Rogers?" "A scream came from the quarter-deck, and then the cry: 'Child overboard! There was but one child, the captain's, aboard. I was sitting just aft the foremast, herring-boning a split in a spare jib.
I have seen and heard much in yon great city, and methinks that all creeds have much that is true much that is the same; but it seems the nature of man to fight and wrangle over the differences, instead of rejoicing in the unity of a common faith; wherefore there be misery and strife and jealousy abounding, and the adversaries may well blaspheme.
Shaking off old prejudices now, such a procession as that of some four hundred passably ugly men carrying their tapers in open daylight, Diogenes-fashion, as if they were looking for a lost quattrino, would make a merry spectacle for the Feast of Fools."

That one night accused her whenever she thought of Julian, whenever she saw the dissipation deepen round his eyes.
The farmers are not business men. They offered more than the land could pay. You know the results. But why curse and blaspheme the landlords for what was in many cases their own deliberate act?" On Friday last I had a small object-lesson in Irish affairs. Colonel O'Callaghan, of Bodyke, went to Limerick to buy cattle for grazing on his estate.

And if Satan rise up against himself, and be divided, he cannot stand, but hath an end. 27. No man can enter into a strong man's house, and spoil his goods, except he will first bind the strong man; and then he will spoil his house. 28. Verily I say unto you, All sins shall be forgiven unto the sons of men, and blasphemies wherewith soever they shall blaspheme: 29.
"He would not outweigh Vitelius," put in Cæsar. "Eheu! Silver-bowed, my wit is not of lead." "I see that thy faith does not hinder thee from calling me a god." "O Immortal! My faith is in thee; the Christians blaspheme against that faith, and I hate them." "What dost thou know of the Christians?" "Wilt thou permit me to weep, O divinity?" "No," answered Nero; "weeping annoys me."
