It was said by his enemies, and the old tale has been credulously repeated, that his own private fortune not allowing him to vie with the wealthy nobles whom he opposed, it was to supply his deficiencies from the public stock that he directed some part of the national wealth to the encouragement of the national arts and the display of the national magnificence.
Knowing as little of astrology as I do of astronomy, when I gaze upon that star I become credulously superstitious, and fancy it has an influence on my life. Have you, too, any favourite star?" "Yes," said Isaura; "and I distinguish it now, but I do not even know its name, and never would ask it." "So like me.
Now, young sir, you have learned something of me, and if my name is not written in letters of fire from one end of Italy to the other, it is Body of God! because the hands that hired me to the work garnered the glory of my deeds." "A noble record," said Gonzaga, who had credulously absorbed that catalogue of lies, "a very noble record."
But the sea remains a disappointment. He comes to it for the first time all that he has been reading of it all his life, and that the most enthusiastic part of life, all he has gathered from narratives of wandering seamen; what he has gained from true voyages, and what he cherishes as credulously from romance and poetry; crowding their images, and exacting strange tributes from expectation.

The news was too good to be true, and knowing Jim's fund of imagination, few lent ear to the story, and most of the men shook their heads credulously.
He felt credulously that there was a good thing coming to him and his wife thought so, and his daughter thought so too. He disapproved of Gloria: she stayed out late, she never ate her meals, she was always in a mix-up he had irritated her once and she had used toward him words that he had not thought were part of her vocabulary. His wife was easier.
To this the prior and brethren credulously consented and that same evening, coming all whereas Master Ciappelletto lay dead, they held high and solemn vigil over him and on the morrow, clad all in albs and copes, book in hand and crosses before them, they went, chanting the while, for his body and brought it with the utmost pomp and solemnity to their church, followed by well nigh all the people of the city, men and women.
