If a man says that he cannot believe it is well to press him on that one thing. I can believe God better to-day than I can my own heart. "The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked: who can know it?" I can believe God better than I can myself.
Our opponents certainly laboured under considerable disadvantage, being compelled not only to wade across a deceitful bog, but likewise to clamber up part of a steep hill, before they could attack us; nevertheless, their determination was such, and such their impetuosity, that we had sometimes difficulty enough to maintain our own.
The parliament of Great Britain being assembled on the fifteenth day of November, the queen in her speech told both houses that the enemy had endeavoured, by false appearances and deceitful insinuations of a desire after peace, to create jealousies among the allies: that God Almighty had been pleased to bless the arms of the confederates with a most remarkable victory and other successes, which had laid France open to the impression of the allied arms, and consequently rendered peace more necessary to that kingdom than it was at the beginning of the campaign.

Snow jumped up and seized Miss Butterworth's hands, and said: "Why, Keziah Butterworth! You don't tell me! You wicked, deceitful creature!" The three Misses Snow all jumped up with their mother, and pressed around the merry object of their earnest congratulations. "So unexpected and strange, you know," said the oldest. "So very unexpected!" said the second.
Tyrone actuated by this spirit, secretly fomented the discontents of the Maguires, O'Donnels, O'Rourks, Macmahons, and other rebels; yet, trusting to the influence of his deceitful oaths and professions, he put himself into the hands of Sir William Russel, who, in the year 1594, was sent over deputy to Ireland.
