Theologians, pretenders, soothsayers, parsons, priests, popes, bishops, have taken all that hope, and they have had the impudence to stand by the grave and prophesy a future of pain. They have erected their toll-gates on the highway to the other world, and have collected money from the poor people on the way, and they have collected it from their fear.
Dunno Joe Parsons, as danced wid yer missis at the bricklayers' picnic?" The man stopped to think, trying to remember, but his brain refused the effort. "Orl right," he muttered; "come an' 'ave a drink." And he turned to the bar. "No fear," cried Chook, taking him affectionately by the arm, "no more fer me! I'm full up ter the chin, an' so are yous."

'Every one can't, said Jane morosely. But to Johnny every one meant all young men, and he took no heed. Gideon went.
"We've a telegram from Griffenbottom," continued Trigger, "and he won't be here till noon. We can't begin till he comes." "Ah; then I can just write a few letters," said Sir Thomas.

Badly have lords done to give their heirs' lands Away to the Orders that have no pity; Money rains upon their altars. There where such parsons be living at ease They have no pity on the poor; that is their "charity".

The justices and council of Ireland had been engaged, chiefly by the interest and authority of Ormond, to fall into an entire dependence on the king. Parsons, Temple, Loftus, and Meredith, who favored the opposite party, had been removed; and Charles had supplied their place by others better affected to his service. They even intercepted some small succors sent thither by the king.
From Spain was to come the army of deliverance for which the Jesuits were so passionately longing. To the Spaniards the Pope was looking for the execution of the Bull of Deposition.

Gabriel Parsons forthwith attempted to proceed, in spite of the interruptions to which, as our readers must frequently have observed, the master of the house is often exposed in such cases.
