Your objects seem plain ; but what are the means by which you purpose to obtaui them ?" " Petitions, sir ; protests and petitions. We THE LIBERATION OF HOLLAND. 199 mean to overwlielm the duchess and the kmg with petitions from every city and every condi- tion in the land. " " And if the king will not yield ...?"
