And they may well have been much influenced on this side by a man who had long before written that 'the original and supreme power resides in the whole of a free people, and is incapable of being surrendered, insomuch that an incorrigible tyrant may always be 'deposed by that people as by a superior authority. For even Fergus the First, he narrates, 'had no right' other than the nation's choice, and when Sir William Wallace was yet a boy, he was taught by his Scottish tutor to repeat continually the rude inspiring rhyme, 'Dico tibi verum Libertas optima rerum. These views as to the rights of man, and of Scottish men, may well have fanned, or even kindled, the strong feeling of independence in secular matters and as a citizen, which burned in the breast of Knox.
Both were alike bloody and unscrupulous; and the rule of the Senate meant corruption and imbecility, and the rule of the democracy meant anarchy. "Unum hoc dico: nostri isti nobiles, nisi vigilantes et boni et fortes et misericordes erunt, iis hominibus in quibus haec erunt, ornamenta sua concedant necesse est." Pro Roscio Amerino, sec. 48.
Eructavit cor meum verbum bonum: dico ego opera mea regi. My heart hath uttered a good word: I speak my works to the king. Ps. xliv. 1. It would be about half an hour before the King's dinner-time, which was ten o'clock, that Master Richard came again to the hall.

Et confestim surgens ... abiit in domum suam. Grabatum is the reading of a in ver. 25. Tertullian reminds him in reply of the calling and confession of Peter, who was a representative of the law.
Yet, although this is true, it does not follow that the vision of the Divine Essence constitutes the whole Beatific Vision; for the human mind cannot rest satisfied with knowledge alone, how perfect soever it may be. It must also love and enjoy the object of its knowledge. Therefore, the vision of God produces the two other acts which we shall now briefly consider.* * Dico 1.
She only shook her head, and said, "Badate bene a quel che dico. I mean," said she, "I'm right, but he's very nice for all that!" If I tell you this, Dick, it is just because I cannot get it out of my head, and I will keep saying over and over to myself "If Joe Atlee be what she suspects, why does she call him very nice for all that?"
Subject and "predicate" may be combined in a single word, as in Latin dico; each may be expressed independently, as in the English equivalent, I say; each or either may be so qualified as to lead to complex propositions of many sorts.
