He made use of any means, even the most impudent, which enabled him to appropriate other people's property.

Wherefore we, inclining to your humble petition, by these our letters sealed with our seal, and signed with our sign manual, do license you to proceed in the said cause, and the examination and final determination of the same; not doubting but that ye will have God and the justice of the said cause only before your eyes, and not to regard any earthly or worldly affection therein; for assuredly the thing which we most covet in the world, is so to proceed in all our acts and doings as may be the most acceptable to the pleasure of Almighty God our Creator, to the wealth and honour of us, our successors and posterity, and the surety of our Realm, and subjects within the same."

Jesus, our Surety, in this also is faithful; for by His own blood, which was the payment, He is entered into the holy place, even into Heaven itself, which is God's dwelling-place, to render the value and price that was agreed upon for the salvation of sinners. But I shall speak more of this in another head, therefore I pass it. Again, Fourth. But, Christ the Messenger of the new covenant.

"He talked a great deal, but then, you know, he was not on his oath." "I'll warrant every word he said." "Your warrant is fine surety, mother, but I am not bound to believe all I hear. You women can please yourselves." And with these words he left the women to find out, if they could, what manner of man their newly-found kinsman might be.

For through the swamp, feeling his way in the black abysses and amid the monster-ghosts of darkness, came Peter.

I never thought of it before, and I'll never say it again." She was pleased and surprised with the quickness and surety of his mind. As soon as he had got the clew he not only understood but corrected her error.

A revolver is always a nuisance on the stage and a terror to the actor who has to use it.

"You have heard my terms," he said, "and I think that they are all that you could ask. What is amiss?" "Your terms are good enough," the speaker said, "and we know that our time is come. But we must have surety that the people will not fall on us, for we are flying, as it were. And we want the body of our king. We would not have him buried any wise, as if he was a thrall."
