When Queen Eleanor sucked the poison from her husband’s wounds, at the risk of her own life, I can see reasons why she should do it.

We have heard of some who on the battlefield have been seeking for the dead; they have turned their faces up and looked at them, but did not know them.

If you had a very favorite knife, which you prized much, but someone took it and with it murdered your mother, you would loathe the instrument with which so foul a deed was done.

He who is dead is free from the law. Take a man who has been guilty of a capital offense: he is condemned to be hanged, he is hanged by the neck until he is dead—what more has the law to do with him?

I remember reading, in Foxe’s Book of Martyrs, the story of a man of God who was bound to a stake to die for Christ.
