The inquiry then extends to the claimants in the religious world, not simply as to which is biblically authentic or historically so, but rather as to which religion claims to satisfy the entire human want of God and makes the claim good as an actual fact.
They allow themselves to be ruined and altogether undone by their own instruments, governments of their own making, and a press of which they are the proprietors. Perhaps it is historically true that no order of society ever perishes save by its own hand.
"It means that it was to be sung to a tune called Shoshannim or Lilies doubtless a well-known one." "It has a beautiful name, then; and he calls it too 'Maschil, A song of Loves." "Historically no doubt you are right," agreed Mr. Hichens. "The song is undoubtedly later than David, and was written as a Prothalamion for a royal bride.
It is in these rooms that the grandeur of England, historically, resides.
If these men framed their profoundest thought in this way, that is only because they lived in an age when men had all their thoughts of this sort in a form which we can historically trace. For Platonists and Neoplatonists, such as the makers of the creeds and some portions of the Scripture show this influence, as well the divine, the ideal, was always thought of as eternal.
Judging from its appearance that it had escaped the general pillage, I took the pathway which branched away to it from the high-road. The incident is historically true, and may serve to show what sort of men they were who had learned their soldiering under Cromwell.

The Lord's Supper historically took the place of the Passover. It was instituted at the Passover and instead of it.
Henceforth they were more or less developed forms of the historically necessary struggle which this class must carry on against the ruling class, the bourgeoisie.
When, in the seventeenth century, painting had declined south of the Alps, Dutch and Flemish masters, above all, Rubens and Rembrandt, developed a new and admirable school of painting. To Van Dyck, another Flemish master, we owe many noble portraits of historically important persons. His genius, like that of Van Dyck, is especially conspicuous in his marvellous portraits.
As to the books to which he should give his attention, of course the choice would rest with the clergyman who was to guide him; but for himself Carlton would not recommend the usual works in controversy with Rome, for which the Anglican Church was famous; rather those which are of a positive character, which treated subjects philosophically, historically, or doctrinally, and displayed the peculiar principles of that Church; Hooker's great work, for instance; or Bull's Defensio and Harmonia, or Pearson's Vindiciæ, or Jackson on the Creed, a noble work; to which Laud on Tradition might be added, though its form was controversial.
