After purification, he says, "are the Minor Mysteries, which have some foundation of instruction and of preliminary preparation for what is to come after; and the Great Mysteries, in which nothing remains to be learned of the universe, but only to contemplate and comprehend nature and things." This position cannot be controverted as regards the ancient religions.
The Johnstons are a clan distinguished in Scottish border history, and as brave as any Highland clan that ever wore brogues; but they lay entirely out of Lochbuy's knowledge nor was he thinking of them. This maxim, however, has been controverted. See Blackstone's Commentaries, vol. ii. p. 291; and the authorities there quoted.
Huxley maintained this view, as did Mr. This opinion was controverted by Mr. N. W. Thomas. Mr. In 1904 Mr. Howitt gave a great mass of evidence for the belief in what he calls an 'All Father': in many dialects styled by various names meaning 'Our Father, dwelling in or above the sky, and often receiving the souls of blacks who have been 'good. These ideas are not derived, Mr.
It is a suggestive fact, that the infallibility of the Pope, even then, was everywhere a controverted point between him and the priesthood. The weakness of the reasoning on the papal side was everywhere so apparent to him, as greatly to strengthen his evangelical faith.

What! were the hollow truisms, the unsufficing half-truths, the false assumptions and malignant insinuations of the supercilious bigots, who corruptly defended the truth: were the impressive facts, the piercing outcries, the pathetic appeals, and the close and powerful reasoning with which the poor sufferer smarting at once from his wounds, and from the oil of vitriol which the orthodox LIARS FOR GOD were dropping into them impatiently, but uprightly and holily, controverted this truth, while in will and in spirit he clung to it; -were both dictated by an infallible intelligence?
