But if satisfaction was impossible, a continuance of the war was inevitable. They had before them the prospect of continued unsettlement and insecurity in a fruitful sphere of profit; and they intended to support the present agitation by their influence in the Comitia and, if necessary, by their verdicts in the courts, until a strong policy had been asserted and a decisive settlement attained.
If in a changing world religious thought changes too, if in that realm also new answers are given to old questions and new questions rise that never have been answered before, if forms of faith in which men once trusted are outgrown, man's unsettlement seems to be complete.
You have expressed a dread which I have been endeavouring to stifle. I am making her wretched." "I don't say that you are making her wretched; I say she seems disturbed and unsettled when she ought to be full of the brightest hopes." "Quite so. I fear the unsettlement is exceedingly great. A neutrality on your part is all I could in reason expect; but your counsel in such a grave matter "
A. And here it is that there arises the rational case against free and frequent divorce and the general unsettlement and fluctuation of homes that would ensue. At this point we come to the verge of a jungle of questions that would demand a whole book for anything like a complete answer.

To two of them, intimate and familiar companions, in the autumn of 1839; to the third an old friend too, whom I have also named above I suppose when I was in great distress of mind upon the affair of the Jerusalem Bishopric.
While at first, then, a progressive Christianity may seem to plunge us into unsettlement, the more one studies it the less he would wish it otherwise. Who would accept a snapshot taken at any point on the road of Christian development as the final and perfect form of Christianity?
Was this new joy, of having seen and spoken to her, a better thing? this vague unsettlement of his being, which played havoc with his thoughts, and stirred up a whole host of strange new feelings in his heart?
