Many of those now shrieking 'Crucify Him! had shouted 'Hosanna! a day or two before till they were hoarse. The populace was guilty of fickleness, blindness, rashness, too easy credence of the crafty calumnies of the rulers.

"I suppose you understand what this means to you," Brady snapped, angered by the unexpected refusal. "Better than you do, I feel certain." "What will the virtuous Mr. Gorham say when he finds out that you hold all that stock?" "He will give your statement no credence whatever." "But we can prove it to him."

Neither integrity, honour, nor candour can be any longer inmates of her heart; the confession I have heard this night has betrayed a lengthened scheme of deception, to which, had I heard it of her, I should have given no credence.
Arrived at the cathedral they had no difficulty in getting in, since the hour was early, and a rumour having obtained credence that the great idol was to be wheeled out upon the steps of the cathedral, the vast bulk of would-be worshippers remained outside of the huge building.
So their preacher went and did his errand, and received this answer from the mouth of his Lord: that Captain Credence should be the great doer in all the King's army, against the King's enemies, and also for the welfare of Mansoul.
