But the force of ecclesiastical stultification was so great, as it is today, that men still believed the opposite view for two hundred years after the voyage of Magellan. The establishment of Christianity, beginning a new evolution of theology, arrested the normal development of the physical sciences for more than 1500 years.
"You are all drunk!" "The consequence of a Constitution is the immediate stultification of intellects. Art, science, public works, everything, is consumed by a horribly egoistic feeling, the leprosy of the time. Three hundred of your bourgeoisie, set down on benches, will only think of planting poplars.
His leadership of it, to be successful, had to be accompanied with plenary powers, even if the stultification of the government itself were the consequence.
Here, he says, all is simple, nothing is commonplace, nothing is unexpected, and yet nothing resembles what we have seen elsewhere; we find no embellishment, no stultification. He adds: "In art, as in literature, works which survive are perhaps those in which the artist or writer has put the most of himself, not those in which he has had most faith.
"In history they are all false" a sufficiently broad statement "in literature all libelous" also a sufficiently sweeping statement, coming from a critic who notes that we are "a people who are peculiarly extravagant in our language " and when it is a matter of social life, "almost all biased." It seems to amount to stultification, almost.
He cannot, therefore, under pain of destroying His very existence, be deceived or deceive us. When, therefore, He speaks, He speaks the truth and nothing but the truth. It would be a very stultification of our reason to refuse to believe Him, once we admit His existence.

Greene's "The Spanish Conspiracy," p. 78, footnote. It is possible that Wilkinson's intrigues provide data for a new biography of Clark which may recast in some measure the accepted view of Clark at this period.
He leaned against the straight, sternly unyielding bole of the tree, folding his arms and staring at the house. What a beastly joke the whole business of living! A thousand ugly recollections poured their venom upon him from his past life. Life, this little moment of blind, sensual groping and grabbing for something worth while that did not exist, save in the stultification of the intelligence.
Its blind acceptance seals the resignation of the will and the intellect to effacement and stultification. The argument on this side does not rest on human fallibility. It appeals in its full strength to those who are most confident that they possess truth final and complete.
This war is waged to establish the right of Secession, and the doctrine that 'all just governments rest on the consent of the governed. With such a precedent, it would be worse than stultification to object to the secession of any State or States now constituting the Confederacy, who at a future day may choose to withdraw from the present compact.
