But time would fail me, to tell of all those hundreds and thousands of women, who perished in the Low countries of Holland, when Alva's sword of vengeance was unsheathed against the Protestants, when the Catholic Inquisitions of Europe became the merciless executioners of vindictive wrath, upon those who dared to worship God, instead of bowing down in unholy adoration before "my Lord God the Pope," and when England, too, burnt her Ann Ascoes at the stake of martyrdom.
His relations with the Welsh appear to have been good; large bodies of Welsh troops fought under him at the battle of Lincoln, 1141 he was probably the first Norman lord of Glamorgan who could thus rely on their loyalty. And it is significant that in the earliest inquisitions extant for Glamorgan or inquests by sworn recognitors Welshmen were freely employed in the work of local government.
The inquisitions and the kindness went musically together; she responded to the kindness, but rebutted the inquisitions; at which he permitted a shade of discontent to traverse his features, and asked her with immense tenderness whether she had not much on her mind; she expressing melodious gratitude for his endeavours to give her comfort.
There has been a good deal of somewhat superfluous discussion concerning the different kinds of inquisition. The distinction drawn between the papal, the episcopal, and the Spanish inquisitions, did not, in the sixteenth century, convince many unsophisticated minds of the merits of the establishment in any of its shapes.
Such a state of things is unfortunate for a country; and the money expended on a system of superintendence over persons alleged to be suspected, in domestic inquisitions, in the corruption of the friends, relations, and servants of the man marked out for destruction might be much better employed.
The inquisition the great cause of the revolt The three varieties of the institution The Spanish inquisition described The Episcopal inquisition in the Netherlands The Papal inquisition established in the provinces by Charles V. His instructions to the inquisitors They are renewed by Philip Inquisitor Titelmann Instances of his manner of proceeding Spanish and Netherland inquisitions compared Conduct of Granvelle Faveau and Mallart condemned at Valenciennes "Journee des maubrulea" Severe measures at Valenciennes Attack of the Rhetoric Clubs Upon Granvelle Granvelle's insinuations against Egmont and Simon Renard Timidity of Viglius Universal hatred toward the Cardinal Buffoonery of Brederode and Lumey Courage of Granvelle Philip taxes the Netherlands for the suppression of the Huguenots in France Meeting of the Knights of the Fleece Assembly at the house of Orange Demand upon the estates for supplies Montigny appointed envoy to Spain Open and determined opposition to Granvelle Secret representations by the Cardinal to Philip, concerning Egmont and other Seigniors Line of conduct traced out for the King Montigny's representations in Spain Unsatisfactory result of his mission.
So long as catholicism had been the sole legal doctrine in Europe, these murmuring revolts of mind had not overset empires. They had been punished by the hands of rulers. Dungeons, punishments, inquisitions, fire, and faggot, had intimidated reason, and preserved erect the two-fold dogma on which the two governments reposed.
This disgrace of Christianity, and indeed of the human race, had different constitutions in different countries. The papal Inquisition continued the tyranny, and eventually superseded the old episcopal inquisitions. The authority of the bishops was unceremoniously put aside by the officers of the pope.
And he together with them ordered inquisitions concerning me for wickednesses the like whereof were never known in hell. Our Lord, who rescued Daniel and the three children, is present with the same wisdom and power as He had then, and with the same means, if it should please Him and be in accordance with His will.
This investigating sham resulted, as almost always happened in the case of similar inquisitions, in the culpability being thrown upon certain lobbyists "who were enriched." These lobbyists were men whose trade it was to act as go-betweens in corrupting legistators.
