It was far to Challans, farther to Lege more than one day, and many a weary league to Ponts de Ce and the Loire. The men who had ridden gaily southwards on the scent of spoil and revenge turned their backs on the castle with many a sullen oath and word.
More than that, the people were absolved from their oath of loyalty to their sovereign and were urged to rebel against their master. But if they followed this advice of the distant Pope and were caught, they were hanged by their near-by Lege Lord and that too was very unpleasant.
It runs: "Vondervotteimittis Vonder, lege Donder Votteimittis, quasi und Bleitziz Bleitziz obsol: pro Blitzen." This derivative, to say the truth, is still countenanced by some traces of the electric fluid evident on the summit of the steeple of the House of the Town-Council.
Father John Davidius, the Jesuit, wrote a book entitled Veridicus Christianus, which is like a kind of Bibliomancy, where one takes passages at random, after the pattern of the Tolle, lege of St. Augustine, and it is like a devotional game. But the chances to which, in spite of ourselves, we are subject, play only too large a part in what brings salvation to men, or removes it from them.
And always Carlat answered, "Ay, by Challans, Monsieur, so be it!" He proved, too, so far right in his prediction that noon saw them drag, a weary train, into the hamlet of Lege, where the road from Nantes to Olonne runs southward over the level of Poitou.
To take a familiar instance, they were like the "Turn again Whittington" of the chime; or, to take a more serious one, they were like the "Tolle, lege, Tolle, lege," of the child, which converted St. Augustine himself. "Securus judicat orbis terrarum!" By those great words of the ancient Father, the theory of the Via Media was absolutely pulverised.
'The devil take the bedlamite old woman, said the Counsellor; 'will she not let things take their course, prout de lege, but must always be putting in her oar in her own way? Then I fear from the direction they took they are going upon the Ellangowan estate. That rascal Glossin has shown us what ruffians he has at his disposal; I wish honest Liddesdale maybe guard sufficient.
Besides the attitude of Crassus towards the conspiracy alone shows sufficiently that it was directed against Pompeius. V. V. Transpadanes Plutarch, Crass. 13; Cicero, de Lege agr. ii. 17, 44. To this year belongs Cicero's oration -de rege Alexandrino-, which has been incorrectly assigned to the year 698.
'Read on, my lord; all is good and true, said the king. 'The gold betokneth excellence, That men shuld done him reverence, As to her lege soveraine. 'And so on for I were loath to weary your majesty of the colour of the stones, and the circular form of the crown. 'Read on, my lord, said the king.
On hearing this, James flew into a rage and said: "Then am I to be under the law which it is treason to affirm?" To which Coke replied: "Thus wrote Braxton: 'Rex non debet esse sub homine, sed sub Deo et Lege." Coke had the misfortune to offend the King in another matter. James issued proclamations whenever he thought that the existing law required amendment.
