As Rehoboam’s yonkers carried that weighty business of his kingdom and overthrew it, so do the unruly and rebellious humours of most youth miscarry this.—Rogers, Matrimonial Honour, p. 31.

FOOTNOTES:
[1] [For early instances and uses of the verb actuate see N.E.D.]
[2] Deabus artificibus similes, as S. Walker (Criticisms on Shakespeare, vol. i. p. 96) gives it well.
[3] [The word is a derivative of O. Fr. artillier = Late Lat. articularius, a form of doubtful origin. Dr. Murray hesitates between articulum, dimin. of ars, artem, and articulus, joint, see N.E.D.]
[4] [Assassins is the rendering adopted in R.V.]
[5] [Astonish represents an O. Fr. *estonnir, estonniss-, used for estoner, Late Lat. *ex-tonare, to stupefy as with a thunderbolt.]
[6] [Of course the words authentic and author (authority) are entirely unrelated: αὐθεντικός is from αὐθέντης (= αὐτο- self + ἑντης), whereas author is O. Fr. autor, Lat. auctorem, cp. augēre, to make, to grow.]
[7] [See however on this point N.E.D.]
