The whole land was stirred as with the inspiration of some new element, and the hearts of the persecutors were withered. "No tongue," often said my grandfather, "could tell the sense of that great event through all the bounds of Scotland, and the papistical dominators shrunk as if they had suffered in their powers and principalities, an awful and irremediable overthrow."
You have seen the Prince-Palatine of Neuburg with his forces maintained by the Pope and other members of the Papistical League. On the 29th of August they forced Aachen, where the magistrates and those of the Reformed religion have been extremely maltreated.

Call you yourselves loyal subjects who tolerate such an outrage?" "And by what authority," retorted Larkham, "was the Papistical sign foisted into the standard of England, except by that of the scarlet woman, whose robes are red with the blood of the saints?" "Methinks," said the Colonel, "that the flag which waved at Cressy and Poitiers deserved a better fate."
