Nec ut jussi. Not precisely at the appointed time, but a day or two later, if they choose. Ut turbae placuit. Ut==simul ac, as soon as, when.
As to the act of the Bishops, I thought, to borrow a Scriptural image from Walter Scott, that they had "seethed the kid in his mother's milk." I said to a friend: "Victrix causa diis placuit, sed victa Catoni."
Public Worship interdicted by the Archbishop. Refuses to revoke his Interdict. He fled to Guadalupe and took Sanctuary. Refused to leave the Altar. The Arrest at the Altar. "Placuit pinturas in ecclesia esse non debere, ne quod colitur vel adoratur, in parietibus pingatur Pictures ought not to be in the churches, nor should any that are reverenced or adored be painted upon the walls."
The verdict of fact and the verdict of literature on the great controversy between them have been summed up in the memorable line of Lucan Victrix causa Deis placuit, sed victa Catoni. Was Cato right, or were the gods right? Perhaps both.
