Among the Greek settlements in Italy, it was by no means uncommon for a colony, once sufficiently established, only to admit new settlers even from the parent state upon inferior terms; and in like manner in Venice arose the distinction between the gentlemen and the citizens; for when to that sea-girt state many flocked for security and refuge, it seemed but just to give to the prior inhabitants the distinction of hosts, and to consider the immigrators as guests; to the first a share in the administration and a superior dignity to the last only shelter and repose.

We were wrecked four days since near St. Valery, and are now bound on an errand of high importance to Duke William, to whom it is urgent we should arrive as soon as possible.
Second, because these words strong and weak, are ambiguous in the second case; for during the interval between the establishment of the right of property or prior occupation and that of political government, the meaning of these terms is better expressed by the words poor and rich, as before the establishment of laws men in reality had no other means of reducing their equals, but by invading the property of these equals, or by parting with some of their own property to them.

Some years afterwards, in 596, Gregory commissioned Augustine, prior of the monastery of St. Andrew's on the Celian Hill, at Rome, with forty companions, to preach the gospel in Britain.
Each looked with a shudder at the basin of porridge as if it had been invested with some terrible charm nay, might it not have been poisoned? a thought which rushed instantaneously into the head of Thomas, and entirely put to flight the prior hypothesis that he had been favoured by this special gift of cookery.
We should not be in this case affirming that these sensuous effects began to exist of themselves, because they are always determined by prior empirical conditions by virtue of the empirical character, which is the phenomenon of the intelligible character and are possible only as constituting a continuation of the series of natural causes.
The prior, somewhat confused, saw that some important confession was about to be made, so he dismissed the others, and sent them back to their devotions.

Perceiving that he was alone with the King, whose calm, gentle demeanour emboldened him, he begged anew for pardon with great energy, and fervour.
