He had himself written for the Presbyterians four unlicensed pamphlets. It was now open to him to write any number, and to get them licensed, provided they were written on the same side. This was not liberty, as he had learned it in his classics, "ubi sentire quae velis, et quae sentias dicere licet."
LONDON, February 28, O. S. 1751. MY DEAR FRIEND: This epigram in Martial "Non amo te, Sabidi, nec possum dicere quare; Hoc tantum possum dicere, non amo te" Fell The reason why I cannot tell. But this I know and know full well: I do not love thee Dr. Fell." has puzzled a great many people, who cannot conceive how it is possible not to love anybody, and yet not to know the reason why.
A prosecutor was said ferre judicem res, when he proposed to the accused person some one out of the judices selecti, before whom the case might be tried; if the accused person consented to the person named by prosecutor, then the judge was said convenisse, to have been agreed on. Sometimes the accused was allowed to select his own judge, judicem dicere.
All this is no reason why the world should like it, however; and we fancy that the Question, Ridentem dicere verum quid vetat? was plaintively put in the primitive tongue by one of the world's gray fathers to another without producing the slightest conviction.

The young gentlemen met every Saturday night in term time and read essays. They discussed all manner of topics. Sometimes they descended to mere commonplaces Is a little knowledge a dangerous thing? Is it possible ridentem dicere verum? Fitzjames self-denyingly approves of the position assigned to mathematics at Cambridge. His philosophical theories are not very clear.
Quare satis mirari non possumus, quod verba vestra plus arrogantiæ tumore insipida quam sale sapientiæ condita sentimus.... Fuit, fuit quondam in hac Republica virtus. Quondam dico, atque o utinam tam veracitur quam libenter nunc dicere possemus, etc.
There is an honor, likewise, which may be ranked amongst the greatest, which happeneth rarely; that is, of such as sacrifice themselves to death or danger for the good of their country; as was M. Regulus, and the two Decii. Of Judicature JUDGES ought to remember, that their office is jus dicere, and not jus dare; to interpret law, and not to make law, or give law.
For men approach truth from the circumference, and, acquiring a knowledge at most of one or two points of that circle of which God is the centre, are apt to assume that the fixed point from which it is described is that where they stand. Moreover, "Ridentem dicere verum, quid vetat?" I side rather with your merry fellow than with Dr. With shame I confess it, Dr.
