Strona 292 - Who rules the kingdom ? The king. Who rules the king ? The duke. Who rules the duke ? The devil.
Strona 24 - Tenth and his successors followed, until the Council of Trent and the Spanish Inquisition engendering together brought forth or perfected those catalogues and expurging indexes that rake through the entrails of many an old good author with a violation worse than any could be offered to his tomb.
