Hervey's biographer tells us that Wesley gave his opinion without tenderness or reserve condemned the language, reprobated the doctrines, and tried to invalidate the proofs. The writer owns that there was 'good sense in some of the remarks, but thinks that 'their dogmatical language and dictatorial style entirely prevented their effect. Toplady also censures the 'rancour with which Mr.
But even admitting this to be largely true, it does not invalidate the statement that our gifts are of God He is the Father of all the "families" of the earth, as well as of individuals. He does not rule over one year only, but over all the generations. Time and change, of which we make much, are nothing to Him.
We may assume that some understanding exists between England and Germany which contemplates a division of the Portuguese colonial possessions, but has never become publici juris. It cannot, indeed, be certain that England, if the contingency arrives, would be prepared honestly to carry out such a treaty, if it actually exists. She might find ways and means to invalidate it.
"There must have existed, at some time, and at some place or other, an artificer or artificers who formed it for the purpose which we find it actually to answer; who comprehended its structure, and designed its use." "Neither would it invalidate our conclusion that the watch sometimes went wrong, or that it seldom went exactly right.
In the last resort, he takes refuge in the plea of ignorance. His only answer is, "I do not know, I am not in the secrets of Nature." But how does his extension of Paley's argument justify the position which he now assumes? Or how can it invalidate the admissions which he had previously made?

A really fair and practicable levy would certainly be honeycombed with annual adjustments and payments for some period of years, and one must consider how far this would invalidate the economic case of the "outright cut," and make it no better than a high income-tax; indeed far worse, for the high income-tax does at least follow closely upon the annual facts as they change, or is not stereotyped by a valuation made in obsolete conditions.
'I shall take it to London and see what an expert can do with it, said Clarence. 'I have heard of wonderful decipherings in the Record Office; but you will remember that even if it can be made out, it will hardly invalidate our possession after a hundred and thirty years. 'Clarence! cried Emily in a horrified voice; and I asked if the date were not later than that by which we inherited.
Let us produce the heir, then, before the property's disposed of, and then we won't have to untie the knot to invalidate the marriage articles. So far, so good that's our plan. But again, there's the baronet ill; should he die before we establish this youth's rights, think of our difficulty. And, thirdly, he's beginning to suspect our integrity, as he is pleased to call it.
He will make all the vestibule, if I may so say, and the approach to his cause brilliant; and when he has got possession of the minds of his hearers by his first onset, he will then invalidate and exclude all contrary arguments; and of his own strongest arguments some he will place in the van, some he will employ to bring up the rear, and the weaker ones he will place in the centre.
