Extractions: OAS_AD('Top'); by Gildas Translation by J.A. Giles The Works of Gildas surnamed "Sapiens", or The Wise. I. The Preface * Notwithstanding this remark of Gildas, the Britons must have shown great bravery and resolution in their battles against the Saxons, or they would not have resisted their encroachments so Long. When Gildas was writing, a hundred years had elapsed, and The Britons still possessed a large portion of their native country. Wherefore in zeal for the house of God and for his holy law, constrained either by the reasonings of my own thoughts, or by the pious entreaties of my brethren, I now discharge the debt so long exacted of me; humble, indeed, in style, but faithful, as I think, and friendly to all Christ's youthful soldiers, but severe and insupportable to foolish apostates; the former of whom, if I am not deceived, will receive the same with tears flowing from god's love; but the others with sorrow, such as is extorted from the indignation and pusillanimity of a convicted conscience. 2. I will, therefore, if God be willing, endeavour to say a few words about the situation of Britain, her disobedience and subjection, her rebellion, second subjection and dreadful slaveryof her religion, persecution, holy martyrs, heresies of different kinds of her tyrants, her two hostile and ravaging nationsof her first devastation, her defence, her second devastation, and second taking vengeanceof her third devastation, of her famine, and the letters to Agitius*-of her victory and her crimesof the sudden rumour of enemiesof her famous pestilence-of her counsels of her last enemy, far more cruel than the first-of the subversion of her cities, and of the remnant that escaped; and finally, of the peace which, by the will of God, has been granted her in these our times.

Whatever in this my epistle I may write in my humble but well meaning manner, rather by way of lamentation than for display, let no one suppose that it springs from contempt of others or that I foolishly esteem myself as better than they; -for alas! the subject of my complaint is the general destruction of every thing that is good, and the general growth of evil throughout the land;but that I rejoice to see her revive therefrom: for it is my present purpose to relate the deeds of an indolent and slothful race, rather than the exploits of those who have been valiant in the field. Wherefore in zeal for the house of God and for his holy law, constrained either by the reasonings of my own thoughts, or by the pious entreaties of my brethren, I now discharge the debt so long exacted of me; humble, indeed, in style, but faithful, as I think, and friendly to all Christ's youthful soldiers, but severe and insupportable to foolish apostates; the former of whom, if I am not deceived, will receive the same with tears flowing from god's love; but the others with sorrow, such as is extorted from the indignation and pusillanimity of a convicted conscience.

Extractions: Main June 30, 2003 She's BAAAACK!!! Some of you might have noticed that Gene Expression's Spanish gypsy has been AWOL for a few months. I was cramming for finals March until May, and now I'm slogging through my math and science requirements. Anyway, I'll still post from time to time. Here's a brief one because I have math class tonight (AAAAAUUUGHHH!) The Washington Post is waxing a la Book of Revelation about Cali's budget crisis . Here's the Post's analysis: " As in many other states, the shortfall is largely the result of the national economic downturn which has been especially severe in Silicon Valley, an engine of California's $1.3 trillion economy. Soaring health care costs for the poor and new expenses for homeland security are other contributing factors. Republicans here also contend that Davis, who was narrowly elected to a second term in November, has spent recklessly while in office and relied on accounting gimmicks to balance the budget last year." Gee, who do you think the poor could be? For most of my life
