Seite 29 - Tis true, James could not inflict the torture on his soldiers — could not tear the living flesh from their bones with the cat-o'-nine tails— could not flay them alive. Be this as it may, our duty is to meet ; and England expects every man to do his duty.
Seite 29 - Heath, for supporting arbitrary power, gave three cheers on hearing of their acquittal. The King, startled at the noise, asked : " What's that ? " " Nothing, sir," was the answer, " but the soldiers shouting at the acquittal of the Seven Bishops.
