Again, being members of a body so exalted, and receiving our very salvation in a way altogether above reason, we must be cautious how we either trust to our individual conscience rather than to the command of the Church, or how we venture to exercise our reason at all in judging of what the Church teaches; childlike faith and childlike obedience are the dispositions which God most loves.
Enough, enough, Sir Cautious, we apprehend one another. Mr. Bearjest, your Uncle here and I have struck the Bargain, the Wench is yours with three thousand Pound present, and something more after Death, which your Uncle likes well. Bea. Does he so, Sir? I'm beholding to him; then 'tis not a Pin matter whether I like or not, Sir. Sir Feeb. How, Sir, not like my Daughter Dye? Bea.
"Don't forget what I told you," he whispered. "Be cautious! be very cautious!..."

You're always pushing forward, and starting the deer at a distance, and gazing at those that are scampering; but you must step as slow, and silent, and cautious as a cat, and keep your eyes close around you, and lurk from tree to tree, if you wish to get a chance at deer.

With the fire of a reformer and a martyr in his heart, he yet proceeded by the ways of cautious and practical statecraft.
The rebels were patiently waiting to be called upon for an explanation of their remarkable conduct. Probably none of them even noticed that the grating had been put upon the main hatch by the cautious Peaks, to prevent them from leaving the steerage.

I believe honestly it's the only scrape of the sort he ever got into. He was cold and cautious." "But how did you learn it?" reiterated Lionel. "I'll tell you. I learned it from Luke Roy."
