I felt that there was something comprehensively expressive in the " tut, tut, tut. " It implied danger ; it suggested caution ; it deprecated controversy ; it covered the rough surface on which we trod so to speak, DR. CALAMY'S VIEWS 125 with a Turkey carpet, and said in effect, " Pass on " noiselessly now — say no mo...re about it. " Nevertheless this action on his part puzzled and worried me for a time : till I came, later on, to understand what is really meant by the phrase, "making the best of both worlds.

King James the Second was in the toils when the Doctor wrote : " While they [the clergy] privately prayed for " the Prince of Orange's prosperity, they were forced, " in public, to pray, according to the liturgy, that God " would be the defender and keeper of King James, and " give him victory over all his enemies.
