These men, these factious men, as the honorable gentleman properly called them, are the just objects of vengeance, not the conscientious Dissenter, these men, who would take away whatever ennobles the rank or consoles the misfortunes of human nature, by breaking off that connection of observances, of affections, of hopes and fears, which bind us to the Divinity, and constitute the glorious and distinguishing prerogative of humanity, that of being a religious creature: against these I would have the laws rise in all their majesty of terrors, to fulminate such vain and impious wretches, and to awe them into impotence by the only dread they can fear or believe, to learn that eternal lesson, Discite justitiam moniti, et non temnere Divos!
Nemo tam divos habuit favintis, Crastinum ut possit sibi polliceri. Of heaven's protection who can be So confident to utter this? To-morrow I will spend in bliss. SEGED, lord of Ethiopia, to the inhabitants of the world: To the sons of Presumption, humility and fear; and to the daughters of Sorrow, content and acquiescence.
Wierus says that a bishop preached to that effect in 1565, and gravely refutes the story. "Discite justitiam moniti, et non temnere divos," a somewhat remarkable concession on the part of a fallen angel. This story seems mediaeval and Gothic enough, but is hardly more so than bringing the case of the Furies v.
Sed tum forte cava dum personat aequora concha Demens, et canto vocat in certamina Divos. Ibid.

It has no title, but is complete in all its other parts.... He was fond of parodying the Odes of Horace, with applications to modern incidents and people, and did it very successfully. The Otium Divos was long remembered. Notwithstanding this perseverance, and a decided poetical ambition, he was never without misgivings as to his success.
Sic aquilae clarum firmavit Iuppiter omen." I. ii. Rite igitur veteres quorum monumenta tenetis, Qui populos urbisque modo ac virtute regebant, Ritectiam vestri quorum pietasque fidesque Praestitit ac longe vicit sapientia cunctos Praecipue coluere vigenti numine divos.
