Cæsar feeling himself hurt, took him straight by the hand he held his dagger in, and cried out in Latin: O traitor, Casca, what doest thou? Casca on the other side cried in Greek, and called his brother to help him.
Shortly before the meeting of the Diet, an old soldier, George Freundesberg, put his hand upon Luther's shoulder, and said to him: "Good monk, good monk, take heed what thou doest; thou art going into a harder fight than any of us have ever yet been in." But Luther's only answer to the veteran was, that he had "determined to stand upon the Bible and his conscience."
That is, if thou dost it willingly, delighting to lift up the name of God among men; if thou doest it with love, and longing after the salvation of sinners, otherwise thou wilt have only thy labour for thy pains, and no more. But, I say, if thou do it graciously, then a reward followeth; "For what is our hope, or joy, or crown of rejoicing?
None shall ask thee what thou doest, Or care a rush for what thou knowest. Or listen when thou repliest, Or remember where thou liest, Or how thy supper is sodden; And another is born To make the sun forgotten." Of all Emerson's poems the "Concord Hymn" is the most nearly complete and faultless, but it is not distinctively Emersonian.
Nevertheless ought he to be judicious in his giving belief to any thing, or moving himself thereat, nor make his people extreamly afraid of him; but proceed in a moderate way with wisdome, and humanity, that his too much confidence make him not unwary, and his too much distrust intolerable; from hence arises a dispute, whether it is better to be belov'd or feard: I answer, a man would wish he might be the one and the other: but because hardly can they subsist both together, it is much safer to be feard, than be loved; being that one of the two must needs fail; for touching men, we may say this in general, they are unthankful, unconstant, dissemblers, they avoyd dangers, and are covetous of gain; and whilest thou doest them good, they are wholly thine; their blood, their fortunes, lives and children are at thy service, as is said before, when the danger is remote; but when it approaches, they revolt.
I thank thee for having made me do right, for without thy help I should have done nothing but wrong; for mine is the laziness, and the weakness, and the selfishness, and the self-conceit; and thine is the kingdom, for thou rulest all things; and the power, for thou doest all things; and the glory, for thou doest all things well, for ever and ever. Amen. St. Mark viii. 4, 5, 8.
That the gospel is from God, and the means used to propagate it of his appointment, are from sundry considerations, apparent particularly from the miracles wrought by Christ and by his disciples, who went forth in his name. Conclusive was the reasoning of Nicodemus "Rabbi, we know that thou art a teacher come from God; for no man can do these miracles that thou doest, except God be with him."
Well! better that we should now have to answer the question 'What doest thou here? than that we should have to fail in answering the future question, after we have done with the world: 'What didst thou there? Dear brethren, let us cleave to Christ, and that will separate us from the world. If we cleave to the world, that will separate us from Christ.
The quality of our life depends on the answer we give to such spiritual questioning day by day; for the Divine voices are never silent. "What doest thou here?"
They then advanced to Hadji Baba, and were about to seize him, when he cried out "Beware what thou doest! I am an officer of the Dey's palace and may not be treated thus with impunity." The cadi, who either did not, or pretended not, to believe the statement, replied sententiously "Justice takes no note of persons. Proceed."
