"Oh! oh!" exclaimed Roland, "is that how you royalists and Christians speak to a man of God!" "That man," said Cadoudal, "is not a man of God, but a man of the devil." "Who is he, then?" "Both an atheist and a regicide; he denied his God and voted for the death of the king. That is the Conventional Audrein." Roland shuddered. "What will they do?" he asked.
But I put Spain out of the question: she is a province of the Jacobin empire, and she must make peace or war according to the orders she receives from the Directory of Assassins. In effect and substance, her crown is a fief of Regicide. Whence, then, can the compensation be demanded? Undoubtedly from that power which alone has made some conquests. That power is England.
XXV. Temporary Kings IN SOME places the modified form of the old custom of regicide which appears to have prevailed at Babylon has been further softened down.
And now, duly provided with a safe conduct from the regicide, Bradshaw, he was journeying to the city where he was to part with his daughter for an indefinite period. He had seen but little of her, and yet it seemed as hard to part thus as if she had prattled at his knees and nestled in his arms every day of her young life.
The haughtiness by which the proud repel us has this of good in it, that, in making us keep our distance, they must keep their distance too.

Over this court presided Lord Lowther, assisted by Mr. Justice Donnellan, by Cooke, solicitor to the Parliament on the trial of King Charles, and the regicide, Reynolds.
In truth, it appears to me, that, when we come to balance our account, we shall find in the proposed peace only the pure, simple, and unendowed charms of Jacobin amity. We shall have the satisfaction of knowing that no blood or treasure has been spared by the Allies for support of the Regicide system.
It is said by the Directory, in their several manifestoes, that we of the people are tumultuous for peace, and that ministers pretend negotiation to amuse us. This they have learned from the language of many amongst ourselves, whose conversations have been one main cause of whatever extent the opinion for peace with Regicide may be.
