He had given his people the charter, and his ministers might now govern in accordance with this instrument. "The people demand liberty," said the king.

Formerly, the taxes appointed by my mere will would have made me odious; now the people tax themselves.

"It is very pleasant to see him so often," John said, "but how good it is to have you all to myself!"
