"You are learned, Master Linklater," replied the English publican, compelling, as it were with difficulty, his mouth to utter three or four words consecutively. "A poor smatterer," said Mr.
The second day after Grotius's arrival in this town, that is, on the 18th of August, O.S. he sent for me, about nine at night, I went, and found him almost at the point of death: I said, 'There was nothing I desired more, than to have seen him in health, that I might have the pleasure of his conversation. He answered, 'God had ordered it otherwise. I desired him: to prepare himself for a happier life, to acknowledge that he was a sinner, and to repent of his faults: and, happening to mention the publican, who acknowledged that he was a sinner, and asked God's mercy; he answered, 'I am that publican. I went on, and told him that he must have recourse to Jesus Christ, without whom there is no salvation.
PARASITE, a kind of umbrella. PARASITE, the murder of an infant. PUBLICAN, a man who does his prayers in public. TENACIOUS, ten acres of land. Here is one where the phrase "publicans and sinners" has got mixed up in the child's mind with politics, and the result is a definition which takes one in a sudden and unexpected way: REPUBLICAN, a sinner mentioned in the Bible.
There was in Barchester an honest publican honest as the world of publicans goes who not only was possessed of a vote, but possessed also of a son who was a voter. He was one Reddypalm, and in former days, before he had learned to appreciate the full value of an Englishman's franchise, he had been a declared Liberal and an early friend of Roger Scatcherd's.
The marks of the Church are necessary also because the Church must be a visible Church, that all men may be able to see and know it; for Our Lord said, "He that will not hear the Church, let him be to thee as the heathen and the publican." Heathens were those who worshipped false gods.
So Daniel, after he had enumerated the evils that befel the church in his day, addeth, "Therefore hath the Lord brought it upon us; for the Lord our God is righteous in all his works which he doth: for we obeyed not his voice;" 2 Chron. xii. 6, Lam. i. 18; Dan. ix. 14. And this is the case with our Publican.
The publican who had bought it said, "I wish I had not bid for the old thing at all; it is too good to 'scat' up for firewood." At that instant it came to Billy's mind to say, "Here, I'll give you six shillings for un." "Very well," said the man, taking the money; "you can have him."
Then he felt better, and lay back in his chair biting his mustache meditatively. "By the way, did Morley say whether he'd support Ringwood! The fellow's a publican, likewise a sinner, but we must rush him in for the District Council." "Why?" asked Mrs. Nevill Tyson, trying hard to be interested. "Why?
True, the Publican's leprosy was outward; but the Pharisee's leprosy was inward: his heart, his soul, his spirit, was as foul, and had as much the plague of sin, as had the other in his life or conversation. A Pharisee: that is, one that hath chosen to himself such a course of life. A Publican: that is, one that hath chosen to himself such a course of life.
"Give me my tile, and let's mizzle. Waiter, I can't wait; must bring the bill up to my lodgings in the morning if it isn't ready. Come away, come away I shall never get over this as long as ever I live. 'Live and let live, indeed! no wonder he stuck up for the innkeepers a publican and a sinner as he is. Good night, gentlemen, good night." Exit Jorrocks.
