Yet, though a building fall and a nation be uprooted, "the Church of Jesus constant will remain," shedding its ...

Consequently the Eleians, being sore pressed on their own territory, sent an embassy and begged the Lacedaemonians to organise an expedition against the Arcadians. They were persuaded that in this way they would best arrest the progress of the Arcadians, who would thus be placed between the two foes.

But if a tenant shot me it would be difficult to identify him, more difficult to arrest him, and downright impossible to convict him.
