He is thus styled in the original document: 'Illustris ac potentissimus princeps et dominus. Alençon came of a truly noble line of ancestors, and was descended also from brave warriors. His great-grandfather fell at Crecy, leading the vanguard of the French host. His grandfather was the companion-in-arms of the great Du Guesclin.

He was son of Mary Queen of Scots, whom they looked upon as a martyr to her religion, and grandson of that gallant King James who styled himself "Defender of the Faith," and "Dominus Hiberniae" in introducing the first Jesuits to the Ulster Princes.

He made use of the ordinary formula in asking permission to speak, 'Benedicite. Father Maximin replied 'Dominus, and on this word, which permitted him to speak, the brother showed his glasses and said he could no longer see clearly.

Stephen's to the Bishop's house. J. C. P. What a night of peace! the harbour like a silver mirror! 'B. of W. Dominus tecum. 'Mrs. A. I trust you will sleep. 'J. C. P. I thank you; I think so. I feel calm. Glorious day. Church crowded many not able to find admittance; but orderly. More than two hundred communicants. All day you have been in our minds.

Thus it is written: 'Et exaudivit Dominus vocem Helie; et reversa est anima pueri intra cum, et revixit; and thinkest thou the intercession of a glorified saint is more feeble than when he walks on earth, shrouded in a tabernacle of clay, and seeing but with the eye of flesh?"

"Yonder is the castle," said Aymer de Valence, extending his arm with a smile of triumph upon his brow; "thou mayst judge thyself, whether the defences added to it under the Clifford are likely to render its next capture a more easy deed than the last." The minstrel barely shook his head, and quoted from the Psalmist "Nisi Dominus custodiet."

Such, too, had been the idea of the Epicurean Velleius, when he shrunk with horror from the "sempiternus dominus" and "curiosus Deus" of the Stoics. Such, surely, was the meaning of Tacitus, Suetonius, and Pliny. And hence, of course, the frequent reproach cast on Christians as credulous, weak-minded, and poor-spirited.
