31. lappuse - The fears of the establishment were formally expressed in an ordinance, passed by the lord mayor and aldermen of the city of London in...
25. lappuse - ... was the rendezvous of the discontented of every description, and when the princess herself was the hope of the Protestants, exasperated by persecution, she was brought by her friends to the secluded manorhouse, embosomed in trees, as to a secure asylum, where she might communicate with her friends, and be ready for any political emergency.
