Nothing gives greater satisfaction to the normal high school boy than to find an error in the text, the teacher's statements, or the map. He takes pleasure in confuting the statistics or judgments quoted in class, by others of opposite trend, encountered in his reading. He enjoys asking keen questions.
While Jesuit preachers, Jesuit confessors, Jesuit teachers of youth, overspread Europe, eager to expend every faculty of their minds and every drop of their blood in the cause of their Church, Protestant doctors were confuting, and Protestant rulers were punishing, sectaries who were just as good Protestants as themselves.
As for Dr Downame’s two glosses upon that place, which he borroweth from Bellarmine, and whereby he thinketh to elude our argument, we thank Dr Forbesse for confuting them. Which difficulty yet more increaseth, if it be objected that neither of these two doth in all points answer or conform itself unto that primitive form of presbytery whereof we speak. Ans.
'I saw what his defence would be, said Mr. Mohun, briefly. 'There! said Colonel Mohun, with a boyish pleasure in confuting his sisters; but they were not subdued. 'Now Maurice, cried Jane, 'when that man was known to be utterly dishonourable and good for nothing, was it fair was it not contrary to all common sense to try to cast the imputation between those two poor girls?
Moray especially hated Ruthven "for his sorcery"; the superstitious Moray affected the Queen with this ill opinion of one of the elect in the affair of Riccio's murder so useful to the cause of Knox. But Lethington was at that time confuting Lennox's argument that the Hamilton chief, Chatelherault, was illegitimate.
If, therefore, these evidential miracles are incommunicable as respects their proofs to after generations, neither are they wanted. Still it will be urged Were not the miracles meant for purposes ulterior to the transitional state? Were they not meant equally for the polemic purpose of confuting hostility at the moment, and of propping the faith of Christians in all after ages?
"The ghost," she answered. "It came right up, sir, just after you left me. I'd rather die than see it again." She was shaking from head to foot. There was no mistaking that her terror was intense. To attempt to meet it with confuting arguments would have been simply folly, and both gentlemen knew that it would.
The modern man who believes that the earth is round is grossly credulous. Flat Earth men drive him to fury by confuting him with the greatest ease when he tries to argue about it. Confront him with a theory that the earth is cylindrical, or annular, or hour-glass shaped, and he is lost.
Nobody can refuse to talk with him, he is so honest, and really curious to know; a man who was willingly confuted, if he did not speak the truth, and who willingly confuted others, asserting what was false; and not less pleased when confuted than when confuting; for he thought not any evil happened to men, of such a magnitude as false opinion respecting the just and unjust.
Let her and falsehood grapple; who ever knew truth put to the worse, in a free and open encounter? Her confuting is the best and surest suppressing. Twice she read the pregnant message. "I have it," said she gravely. "To keep for always." "Some day I'll put it at the head of The Patriot." "Why not now?" "Not ready. I want to be surer; absolutely sure." "I'm sure," she declared superbly; "of you."
