The time is propitious, for as the council is now met in Alsatia, so the Temple walks are quiet. Now, my lord, throw your cloak about you, to hide your present exterior.
All that neutral ground of character which stood between vice and virtue; or which, in fact, was indifferent to neither, where neither properly was called in question that happy breathing-place from the burden of a perpetual moral questioning the sanctuary and quiet Alsatia of hunted casuistry is broken up and disfranchised as injurious to the interests of society.
She always did since I was eight. 'Seven, Miss, was when you began to 'unt, said Rhoda, setting down more buttered toast. 'And so, the M.F.H. was saying to Midmore, 'when he got to your brute Sidney's land, we had to whip 'em off. It's a regular Alsatia for 'em. They know it.
"Why, my lord," replied the Templar, "our neighbouring state of Alsatia, which the law calls the Sanctuary of White-friars, has had its mutations and revolutions like greater kingdoms; and, being in some sort a lawless, arbitrary government, it follows, of course, that these have been more frequent than our own better regulated commonwealth of the Templars, that of Gray's Inn, and other similar associations, have had the fortune to witness.
He then quitted his grand mastership and made himself hereditary Duke of that country, which is thence called Ducal Prussia.

'It's not to be thought of, says I, thumping the table till every glass on it jingled; 'and I know a way as'll prevent it. 'What is it, Mint? asked all three.
Halting for a last time at Mary-le-bone, a few miles from the city gates, where they cleansed themselves from the dust and soil of travelling, they rode thence to Charing, along the Strand past Alsatia, the Temple, and Whitefriars, and, crossing the Fleet River, entered the city by the Lud Gate, St. Paul's great church looking down on them from the hilltop.
And when poor Duns, quite weary, will not stay; The hopeless Squire's into Alsatia driven. Behn's reference to Alsatia in this play, which is often ignored, claims fourth place.
