Side 50 - That the raising or keeping a standing army within the kingdom in time of peace, unless it be with consent of parliament, is against law.
Side 67 - An offence committed by a person, whether he is or is not a subject of Her Majesty, on the open sea within the territorial waters of Her Majesty's dominions, is an offence within the jurisdiction of the Admiral, although it may have been committed on board or by means of a foreign ship, and the person who committed such offence may be arrested, tried, and punished accordingly.

Side 10 - Let the Turks now carry away their abuses in the only possible manner, namely, by carrying off themselves.
Side 166 - ... you must show him in the streets of the town, you must show him at the shop counter, you must show him in the fair and in the market place, and even in the house of worship, by leaving him severely alone, by putting him into a moral Coventry, by isolating him from the rest of his kind as if he was a leper of old - you must show him your detestation of the crime he has committed...
