Why will they assert and re-assert, in every mood and tense, that things most opposite are identical, and things most unlike are exactly the same? We will deal with that question in the next chapter. All we now affirm is that the reason is abundantly clear and evident, though little creditable to these perverters of history.
Well, he was clear of them, and thenceforward, the curse having exhausted itself for the time being, he had prospered at any rate to a moderate extent. But if once more he began to interfere with Lysbeth van Goorl and her relatives, might it not re-assert its power? That was one question. Was it worth while to take his risk on the chance of securing Brant's fortune? That was another.
It is still possible that, on his return to Constantinople, when he found that his position, as Minister of Marine was but a clerkship in the German Admiralty, the hypnotic trance began to pass off, and his ambitions to re-assert themselves. He may yet give trouble to the Germans if properly handled.

For this abandonment of any attempt to re-assert the royal authority he has been generally blamed.
That in the past, in a doctrine such as that of man's total depravity, the fact of sin has been over-emphasised, may be readily granted; but in the present all the symptoms indicate that the peril we have to meet is its under-emphasis. Against this whole tendency we must resolutely re-assert the Christian standpoint and attitude.
In this instance, it is the question of British freedom that comes up; and the tribute not the tax that a Caesar the first Caesar himself, had exacted, is refused 'in a better hour, by a people kindling with ancestral recollections, throwing themselves upon their ancient rights, and 'the natural bravery of their isle, and ready to re-assert their ancient liberties.
