The importance attached to these laws was to be seen readily in the frequent re-enactment of them, with language of increasing vehemence; and although the primary object was to neutralise the supposed right of the pope to present to English benefices, and although the office of papal legate is not especially named in any one of the prohibitory clauses, yet so acute a canonist as Wolsey could not have been ignorant that it was comprehended under the general denunciation.

"How much have you put on?"
And Japheth probably got mad and passed a prohibitory law and thought he had the trouble fixed forever." When the legislature finally adjourned the protestations that had been wrung out of it promised much in the way of honest reorganization. Harlan Thornton remained with Governor Waymouth for a time. His Excellency found him indispensable. The commissions were at work.
At a way station a great crowd, great compared to the size of the compartment, came surging in. Every man had a clay pipe, every man had a supply of the most villanous tobacco. I do not wonder the Government taxes such tobacco, that it has to be sold by license some would not grieve if the duty were prohibitory.
