Norris had done absolutely nothing, which, even by implication, could be construed into a dereliction of duty; but it was sufficient that he was hated by Leicester, who had not scrupled, over and over again, to denounce this first general of England as a fool, a coward, a knave, and a liar.
Some, who conscientiously scrupled as to their duty in that conflict unwilling to violate an allegiance which they felt they owed to the British crown, and equally unwilling to take part against their kindred and neighbors had left their homes and come here.
"You'd better have let her keep the post office," said Eben. He was not less selfish than his father, but then his own interests were not concerned. He would not have scrupled, in his father's case, to do precisely the same. "It's lucky I've got a little extra income," said Ebenezer, bitterly; "now I've got your bills to pay."
Ministers of "Consociated" churches scrupled not, indeed, to call themselves Presbyterians.
The best man among the ancients is said to have entertained that passion; one of the wisest of their legislators has permitted the indulgence of it in his commonwealth; the most celebrated poets have not scrupled to avow it.

In fact, I believe Blake couldn't have got better treatment in Montreal or London.
But, to our great joy, we saw the land, though at a great distance, the evening before, and by a pleasant gale in the night were by morning within two leagues of the shore. We never scrupled going ashore at the first place we came at, though, had we had patience, we might have found a very fine river a little farther north.
In No. 417 of this Journal it is chronicled that John Bunyan scrupled to eat mince-pies, because of the superstitious character popularly attached to them; but it would appear from an anecdote sent to us by a correspondent, that if this was true at all of the author of the Pilgrim's Progress, he must have received new light upon the subject at a later period of life.
