In all things approving thyself as a pattern of good works: in thy teaching, shewing integrity, gravity, incorruptibility, sound discourse, incapable of confutation; that he who is in opposition may be confounded, having nothing faulty to say of you.
It is no pleasure to me, in revising my volumes, to observe how much paper is wasted in confutation.
Having confuted the error of other men in that part wherein it was advanced in support of riches, it remains now to confute it in that part where Time is said to be a cause of Nobility, saying, "Descent of wealth;" and this reproof or confutation is made in that part which begins: "They will not have the vile Turn noble."
As we took our places I found a letter on my plate, and, as it was postmarked Wiesbaden, I lost no time in opening it. It contained but three lines "I am happy I am accepted an hour ago. I can hardly believe it's your poor friend E. P." I placed the note before Niedermeyer; not exactly in triumph, but with the alacrity of all felicitous confutation.
Thus, my lords, might the murderer represent his case, perhaps, without any possibility of a legal confutation; thus might the most atrocious villanies escape censure, by the assistance of impudence and cunning.
No scene could be imagined presenting a more practical confutation of the ignorant calumny that the British army is composed of the froth and the dregs of the British nation, and that there exists no cordial feeling between British soldiers and British officers. It is good to see how the face kindles of the veteran guardsman at the sight and the kindly greeting of Sir Charles Russell.
The term infiltration, which has been much employed for explaining mineral appearances, is too vague, imperfect, or unexplicit, for science, whether as the means of knowing nature, or the subject of confutation.
I shall now show that Christoval and Garcilasso have different versions of the same historical events, and that Garcilasso bases his confutation of the Spanish theory of the Inca Creator on his form of this historical tradition, which follows: The Inca Yahuarhuaccac, like George II., was at odds with his Prince of Wales.
The argument is perhaps as frequently expressed by gesture as by words, and one of its commonest forms consists in knocking a stick against the ground. This short and easy confutation overlooks the fact, that in denying matter, Berkeley did not deny any thing to which our senses bear witness, and therefore can not be answered by any appeal to them.
The adversaries in the Confutation make a great ado concerning the desolation of churches, namely, that the altars stand unadorned, without candles and without images. And yet this is the chief topic of Christian doctrine. Consciences were tormented by the enumeration of offenses and by satisfactions.
