There is nothing obligeth God more to us, than to see us willing to tie and bind ourselves unto His service: and therefore, they that in this sense are anti-covenanters are sons of Belial, that refuse the yoke of the Lord, that say, "Let us break His bands asunder, and cast away His cords, from us;" such as oderunt vincula pietatis, which is a soul-destroying, and a land-destroying sin. 3.
Peter ad Vincula. And whoever beleeves, that with great personages new benefits blot on the remembrance of old injuries, is much deceiv'd. The Duke therefore in this election, was the cause of his own ruine at last. That Subjects must either be dallyed or flatterd withall, or quite crusht.
Outside in the garden, opposite to another chapel, called St. Peter ad Vincula, is the execution ground, where so many people were beheaded. But I think this is enough for one chapter, and we will learn something more about the Tower in the next. THE TOWER OF LONDON continued
Sister Helen Vincula said: "No, child: go to sleep." The next day was the day for Sister Helen Vincula and Bessie Bell to leave the high, cool mountain. They were to leave the little cabin where the lady had told them to live until they had gotten well again.
This is apparent in the buildings at S. Peter's, the Corridore of the Belvedere, the Convent of San Pietro ad Vincula, and other of his edifices, which have had to be strengthened and propped up with buttresses and similar supports in order to prevent them tumbling down."
This may now be seen at S.

Bessie Bell leaned against the little fluted post of the gallery to the cabin where she and Sister Helen Vincula lived, and thought a great deal about that. And Bessie Bell wondered a great deal what that could mean: Mama? My Mama? There were strange new things in this world. Bessie Bell almost forgot to remember now, because every day was so full of such strange new things to know. Mama? My Mama?
So Sister Helen Vincula did not know, and Bessie Bell did not remember, while the lady talked. Only long after, when Bessie Bell grew much larger, it happened that whenever she saw an old-fashioned peacock-feather-fly-brush at first, just for a second, she felt very glad; and then, just for a second, she felt very sorry; and she never knew or could remember why.
One night, when Sister Helen Vincula had put Bessie Bell to bed in the small bed that was not a crib-bed, though like that she had slept in before she had come to the high mountain, Bessie Bell still lay wide awake. Her blue eyes were wide open and both of her pink little hands were above her head on the pillow.
