"You send us out to starve?" said the housekeeper bitterly. "No; I will provide for you. I will allow you fifty dollars a month and Conrad half as much, and you can board where you please." "While that boy usurps our place?" said Mrs. Hill bitterly. "That is a matter to be decided between Ben and myself." "We will go at once," said the housekeeper. "I don't require it.
"What is the heaven our God bestows? No prophet yet, nor angel knows; Was never yet created eye Could see across eternity." While doing this great work, Michael Angelo was only too evidently under the bondage of the Papacy; for in this picture the Virgin Saint usurps the place of our all-sufficing, merciful, and loving Saviour.

Thence with Sir H. Cholmly to Westminster Hall talking, and he crying mightily out of the power the House of Lords usurps in this business of the East India Company.
The most considerable of the Bonzas having been elected, in a general assembly for this embassy, went to the prince, and told him, with an air rather threatening than submissive, that they came, in the name of Xaca and Amida, and the other deities of Japan, to demand of him, into what country he would banish them; that the gods were looking out for new habitations, and other temples, since he drove them shamefully out of his dominions, or rather out of theirs, to receive in their stead a stranger God, who usurps to himself divine honours, and will neither admit of a superior nor an equal.
