Pagina 505 - Lord, before the priests and the judges, which shall be in those days ; and the judges shall make diligent inquisition : and, behold, if the witness be a false witness, and hath testified falsely against his brother; then shall ye do unto him, as he had thought to have done unto his brother: so shalt thou put the evil away from among you.
Pagina 618 - Many people who are acquainted with the barefaced manner in which I was plundered by my Lord Sidmouth, will, perhaps, imagine that personal motives instigated me to the deed ; but I disclaim them. My every principle was for the prosperity of my country. My every feeling, — the height of my ambition was the welfare of my starving countrymen.

Pagina 619 - Sidmouth had acknowledged his claims to the title and property, had interfered in his behalf with the German government, and supplied him with money to support his rank in society. From this period I date his career as a government spy. " He got himself an introduction to the Spenceans ; by what means I am not aware of; and thus he became acquainted with the reformers in general. When I met with Edwards after the massacre at Manchester, he described himself as very poor ; and after several interviews,...
