Therefore he took Father Brown up sharply whenever that proud pontiff tried to explain anything; and told him to answer yes or no, and tell the plain facts without any jesuitry. When Father Brown began, in his simplicity, to say who he thought the man in the passage was, the barrister told him that he did not want his theories. "A black shape was seen in the passage.
Let us suppose that, at the beginning of the Lutheran and Zwinglian movement, a vision of its immediate consequences had been granted to Erasmus; imagine that to the spectre of the fierce outbreak of Anabaptist communism which opened the apocalypse had succeeded, in shadowy procession, the reign of terror and of spoliation in England, with the judicial murders of his friends, More and Fisher; the bitter tyranny of evangelistic clericalism in Geneva and in Scotland; the long agony of religious wars, persecutions, and massacres, which devastated France and reduced Germany almost to savagery; finishing with the spectacle of Lutheranism in its native country sunk into mere dead Erastian formalism, before it was a century old; while Jesuitry triumphed over Protestantism in three-fourths of Europe, bringing in its train a recrudescence of all the corruptions Erasmus and his friends sought to abolish; might not he have quite honestly thought this a somewhat too heavy price to pay for Protestantism; more especially, since no one was in a better position than himself to know how little the dogmatic foundation of the new confessions was able to bear the light which the inevitable progress of humanistic criticism would throw upon them?

The danger of allowing each person to play with the law, as with a toy, is evident.

And now they were gone, and in their place was a queer Jesuitry of kyries and candles, and a gospel which kicked and goaded and would not allow one to sleep.... It began to be noticed at the Woolpack that Joanna was losing heart.
I am her father, and I expect to have an answer." "You shall have an answer, certainly." "And a true one. I will have no hocus-pocus, no humbug, no Jesuitry." "Have you come here to insult me, Sir Marmaduke? Because, if so, there shall be an end to this interview at once." "There shall not be an end; by G , no, not till I have heard what is the meaning of all this.
Here is the present tense, 'I hypocrise, Thou hypocrisest, He hypocrises: We hypocrise, You hypocrise, They hypocrise. Now hear the future. 'I shall hypocrise, Thou shalt hypocrise, He shall hypocrise; We shall hypocrise, You shall hypocrise, They shall hypocrise. There is the whole art of Jesuitry for you, made grammatically perfect!"
