Third. As Christ, as Advocate, pleads against Satan the interest that his Father hath in his chosen, so also he pleads against him by no less authority-his own interest in them. Keep them while in the world from the evil, the soul-damning evil of it.
In vain the goddess pleads, in vain she calls up new scenes of ravishing delight, he still prays to be gone.
With great clearness, sometimes with great force, and always with a play of humor and raillery aimed at the "Philistines," Arnold pleads for both these elements in life which together aim at "Culture," that is, at moral and intellectual perfection. GENERAL CHARACTERISTICS. Arnold's influence in our literature may be summed up, in a word, as intellectual rather than inspirational.
We have simply to put them behind our backs or to keep them folded. The closed hand must remain an empty hand. 'He that believeth not is condemned. My friend, remember that, when Christ pleads and draws, to do nothing is to oppose, and to delay is to refuse. It is a very easy matter to ruin your soul.
He wants you to be "careful" taking good care, however, not to let you know that he means to make you full of care. He pleads "love" as the cause for his existence.

Margaret says she is lovely as an angel, with a heavenly voice, but that she is frightened to death at coming on the stage, and begs and pleads with her mother not to insist on it; but Olympia is determined. My heart quite aches for this poor girl. She is about my age, Margaret says, and so beautiful not a bit like me.
I do not recollect any one transaction, few there are, I am sure, in the whole body of that succession of crimes now brought before you for your judgment, in which the India Company have not censured him. Nay, in one instance he pleads their censure in bar of this trial; for he says, "In that censure I have already received my punishment."
It seemed a feasible argument to her, in the whirling panic of her thoughts, that her admission would be fatal just as the prisoner in the dock pleads "not guilty" against all the damning evidence of every witness who can be brought against him. "I've been in about half an hour," she replied. "Did you dine with Devenish?"
