Enthusiasts in pleasure as in war, and possessed of imaginations which answered readily to the summons of their poets, the Welsh chiefs and leaders united in acclamations of applause; and the song of the bard went farther to render popular the intended alliance of the Prince, than had all the graver arguments of his priestly precursor in the same topic.
Zimmern purposes to connect this line with the preceding, but the sense in that case is not at all clear. I.e., with Marduk. Haupt's edition, p. 8, l. 34. See above, p. 437. Haupt, ib. p. 139, l. 116. Ib. l. 111. Kosmologie, p. 294, note 1. See p. 82. See p. 121. Gen. i. 1-ii. 4, embodied in the "Priestly Code." Gen. ii. 4 and extending in reality as far as iv. 25. Gen. iii. 17.
A husband must 'cleave to his wife. How could a priestly husband do that and yet fulfill his vow to be faithful to his priesthood until death? His wife would come first. What of his priesthood? Besides, a father has for his children a love that would tend to nullify, only too often, the priest's obligations toward the children of his flock.
But, he strove against it unsuccessfully, and she expired while the crowd were pressing round her bed. Among the people who drop into St. Peter's at their leisure, to kneel on the pavement, and say a quiet prayer, there are certain schools and seminaries, priestly and otherwise, that come in, twenty or thirty strong.
This violation of the priestly constitution excited at first great murmurs among the abler but less influential brethren.
In the later works the revelation takes place in a series of private interviews between Ahura and Zarathustra; the prophet puts questions to the god, and the god dictates in reply sentences which are at once promulgated as sacred laws. Mazdeism, like other religions, has its wooden age, its verbal inspiration, and its priestly code.
Such was the arrival of Master Maurice Priestly at No. 17, Wyatt Street. When she arrived, some three weeks after this event, Sally found a little fair-haired boy with sad blue eyes whom at night, in the room next to hers, she sometimes heard crying. She had mentioned this to her mother. "Oh, take no notice of it, Sally," she said. "It's probably a noise he makes in his sleep."
If, as in the first chapter of Genesis, the Deity is always designated as God or Elohim; if the literary style is formal, repetitious, and generic; if the theme is the origin of an institution like the Sabbath; and if the Deity is conceived of as a spirit, accomplishing his purpose by progressive stages through the agency of natural forces, it is not difficult to recognize at once the work of a late priestly writer.
Oh!" continued the Earl, kindling into an enthusiasm, rare to his even moods, but wrung as much from his broad sense as from his strong affection, "when I compare the Saxon of our land and day, all enervated and decrepit by priestly superstition, with his forefathers in the first Christian era, yielding to the religion they adopted in its simple truths, but not to that rot of social happiness and free manhood which this cold and lifeless monarchism making virtue the absence of human ties spreads around which the great Bede , though himself a monk, vainly but bitterly denounced; yea, verily, when I see the Saxon already the theowe of the priest, I shudder to ask how long he will be folk-free of the tyrant."
The neighbouring scenery of Bedfordshire is on a humble scale, and concerns very little those who do not frequent it and live among it, as we must do for the next year or more. The Priory is a low-built sacro-secular edifice, well fitted for its former service. Its priestly denizens were turned out in Henry VIII.'s monk-hunting reign . To the joy or sorrow of the neighbourhood, who knows now?
