They are also said to have ill-used the Roman merchants who traded in the Persian territories, and to have actually robbed them of their merchandise. These causes of complaint were not, however, it would seem, brought forward by the Romans, who contented themselves with simply refusing the demand for the extradition of the Christian fugitives, and refrained from making any counter-claims.
The title of this book, contrasting as it does the naturalistic and the religious interpretation of the world, indicates that the intention of the following pages is, in the first place, to define the relation, or rather the antithesis, between the two; and, secondly, to endeavour to reconcile the contradictions, and to vindicate against the counter-claims of naturalism, the validity and freedom of the religious outlook.
She was the first of all sea-going steamers, the first that ever crossed an ocean entirely under steam, and the first that ever fired a shot in action.

She had hardly spoken the words before the children bounded in, exclaiming, "Now, Aunt Annie, for our stories." "You see, Mr. Gregory, here are previous and counter-claims already." "I wish I knew of some way of successfully disputing them." "It would be difficult to find.
Therefore, as concerned the Continent, Wolsey on the one hand sought to induce Charles to assent to a fresh conference where England should mediate as to the claims and counter-claims of Charles and Francis; and on the other made private overtures to Francis. In Scotland, the game of intrigue was actively carried on. Albany retired permanently to France soon after the failure of his invasion.
The man who makes a success of his life, in any department, is he who has chosen one from amongst these claims and interests, and devoted to it his energetic powers of heart and will; "unifying" himself about it, and from within it resisting all counter-claims. He has one objective, one centre; has killed out the lesser ones, and simplified himself.
