Till to-night she had been a queen in her own mind; and her kingdom had been Rorie, her subjects had begun and ended in Rorie. All was over. He belonged to some one else. She could never tyrannise over him again never scold him and abuse him and patronise him and ridicule him any more. He was her Rorie no longer.
But there are other ways in which men tyrannise over men and in which Christ's redemption sets us free. There is the undue authority of favourite teachers and examples. There is the tyranny of public opinion. There is undue regard to human approbation. There is the sway of priestcraft. How does Christianity deliver from these? It makes Christ's law our unconditional duty.
Ans. 1. As touching obedience to those that are set over us, if they mean not to tyrannise over the Lord’s inheritance, 1 Pet. v. 3; and to make the commandments of God of no effect by their traditions, Mark vii. 9, they must give us leave to try their precepts by the sure will of God’s word; and when we find that they require of us anything in the worship of God which is either against or beside his written word, then modestly to refuse obedience, which is the only way for order, and shunning of strife and contention.
I said that you were cold and stern in disposition, very strong-minded and despotic; but that at some future time, if he would wait patiently, you might perhaps condescend to make him happy and take him just for the pleasure of possessing a man to tyrannise over." Fan did not laugh nor reply. Her face was bent down, and when the other stooped and looked into it, there were tears in her eyes.
Then you will not be beaten, for it is written of those who move in the light, wearing the victor's palm: 'These are they who overcame by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of His testimony. That blood secures our victory in a threefold fashion. By that great death of Jesus Christ all our past sins may be forgiven, and they no longer have power to tyrannise over us.
He pleaded for himself guessing it to be the more hopeful way. "It's been a lonely life, Delia, till you came! And now you've filled it. For God's sake, listen to me! Let me protect you, dear let me advise you trust yourself to me. Do you imagine I should want to dictate to you or tyrannise over you?
The poetical faculty was powerful in Bacon's mind, but not, like his wit, so powerful as occasionally to usurp the place of his reason, and to tyrannise over the whole man. No imagination was ever at once so strong and so thoroughly subjugated. It never stirred but at a signal from good sense. It stopped at the first check from good sense.
And, 'Spine of God, he cried, 'this is a saucy child of mine, and saucily shall she do by the French power. Then his face was wrenched by pain, as with a sob he said, 'I had a son Fulke. Gaillarda did saucily enough, to tyrannise over ten years of Philip's life; in the end, as all know, she played the strumpet, and served the enemies of her father's house, but not while Richard lived to rule her.
Little wonder if she becomes hurt and angry, and attempts to tyrannise and to grasp her old power back again. We are not all patient Grizzels, by good fortune, but the most of us human beings with feelings and tempers of our own. And so in the end, behold her in the room that I described. How bright these visits seem as she looks forward to them on her lonely bed!
Hearken, my brethren, hath not God elected The poor, who by this world have been rejected; Yet rich in faith, and of that kingdom heirs, Which God will give his foll'wers to be theirs? But you, my brethren, do the poor despise. Do not the rich men o'er you tyrannise; And hale ye to their courts; that worthy name By which you're call'd do not they blaspheme?
