Strana 218 - Lift up now thine eyes, and look from the place where thou art northward, and southward, and eastward, and westward. For all the land which thou seest, to thee will I give it, and to thy seed for ever. And I will make thy seed as the dust of the earth : so that if a man can number the dust of the earth, then shall thy seed also be numbered.
Strana 214 - Lyra on the Old Testament, that helped full much in this work ; the third time to counsel with old grammarians and old divines, of hard words, and hard sentences, how they might best be understood, and translated; the fourth time to translate as clearly as he could to the sentence, and to have many good fellows and cunning at the correcting of the translation.

Strana 200 - ... thanks to immortal God, and to that bird by which their lord was saved ; and, therefore, above all fowls of the world, they worship the owl ; and when they have any of its feathers, they keep them full preciously instead of relics, and bear them upon their heads...
Strana 190 - will you our wine assay?" I answered, "That cannot much me grieve; A penny can do no more than it may.
Strana 180 - ... labourers are as discontented as the new operative classes which did not exist in Gower's time, notwithstanding the peasants' recent acquisitions of wheaten bread, milk, and cheese, luxuries unknown to their ancestors. This agrees with the contemporary testimony of Piers Plowman, one nearer than Gower to the status of the labouring class, who almost regrets the time Whiles hunger was her maister : there wolde none of hem chyde, Ne stryve ayeines his statut : so sternelich he looked. The Church...
Strana 200 - Anti-Christ, and that they shall make great slaughter of Christian men. And therefore all the Jews that dwell in all lands learn always to speak Hebrew, in hope that when the other Jews shall go out that they may understand their speech, and to lead them into Christendom for to destroy the Christian people.
