"The ale I shall find bad," said I; Chester ale had a villainous character in the time of old Sion Tudor, who made a first-rate englyn upon it, and it has scarcely improved since; "but I shall have a treat in the cheese, Cheshire cheese has always been reckoned excellent, and now that I am in the capital of the cheese country, of course I shall have some of the very prime."
Herdman told us, as we came away discomfited, a droll story of the ugliest girl ever employed here a girl so preternaturally ugly that one of his best blacksmiths having been entrapped into offering to marry her, lost heart of grace on the eve of the sacrifice, and, taking ship at Derry for America, fled from Sion for ever. In the evening came, with other guests, Dr.
Let the miserable worldling say, and confess, if there be any plot, pasture, or meadow, so delightful to the mind of man, as here. Here I see kings, princes, cities, and people; here I see wars, where some be overthrown, some be victors, some thrust down, some lifted up. Here is Mount Sion; here I am already in heaven itself.
A certain number of philosophers, nevertheless, either on the Jewish-Christian side or on the Hellenic, tried some reconciliation either as Jews making advances to Hellenism or as Greeks admitting there was something acceptable on the part of Sion. He was called the Jewish Plato, and at Alexandria it was said: "Philo imitates Plato or Plato imitates Philo."
The talk they had with the Shining Ones was about the glory of the place, who told them that the beauty and glory of it was inexpressible. There, said they, is the Mount Sion, the heavenly Jerusalem, the innumerable company of Angels, and the Spirits of Just Men made perfect.
The prisoners were taken back to the Tower, and the next morning were brought again to the bar. Feron and Hale, the two priests whose conversation had been overheard at Sion, were placed on their trial at the same time. The two latter threw themselves on the mercy of the court. A verdict of guilty was returned against the other four. The sentence was for the usual punishment of high treason.
For ye have not approached the mountain that could only be groped for, and that burned with fire, and the thick cloud, and the darkness, and the tempest, and the sound of a trumpet, and the voice of words, which they who heard, earnestly begged that the discourse might not be directed to them: for they could not bear the charge given, and "If but a beast touch the mountain he shall be stoned, or shot through with a dart :" and so terrible was the appearance, that Moses said, I am exceedingly afraid and trembling: but ye are come unto mount Sion, and to the city of the living God, to the heavenly Jerusalem, and to myriads of angels, and to the general assembly and church of the first-born registered in the heavens, and to God the judge of all, and to the spirits of just men perfected, and to Jesus the mediator of the new testament, and to the blood of sprinkling, which speaketh better things than that of Abel.
To each print is appended a descriptive Latin verse; Latin being chosen, I suppose, because the publication was intended for distribution in different countries, and especially foreign missions, and to be explained by the priests to the people. The figure of Christ is seen in a glory surrounded by cherubim, &c. The Virgin is seated on the hill of Sion.
Every cock in Sion awoke at his voice, and raised such a din that the devil dropped a bell given to his saintship by the Holy Father, and Saint Theodule was snug and safe inside it. The prelate was right in his choice of the third. The thoughts of two women took wings instantly. Mrs. de la Vere, throwing away a half-smoked cigarette, hurried out of the veranda.
Pierce, the now Reverend Dean of Salisbury, of which I shall proceed to give some account, but briefly. In the year 1648, the fifty-two London Ministers then a fraternity of Sion College in that City had in a printed Declaration aspersed Dr. Hammond most heinously, for that he had in his Practical Catechism affirmed, that our Saviour died for the sins of all mankind.
