“The worſhip of God is an eminent part of Religion; and Prayer, which is often in Scripture expreſſed by ſeeking God, and calling upon his Name ⟳, is a chief part of Religious Worſhip.”

“In attitude and aspect formed to be / At once the artist's worship ⟳ and despair!”

““I beg ⟳ your worship’s pardon,” said Mr. Bumble, incredulous of his having heard aright,—“did your worship ⟳ speak ⟳ to me?””

“'Your Worships, I have ⟳ a submission to put ⟳ before the court. As Your Worships are aware, it is the duty of the court under Section thirty-nine of the Children and Young Persons Act to protect ⟳ the identity of minors who are victims of offences […]”

“And many ſtrange aduentures to bee fond, / Of which great worth and worſhip may be wonne; […]”

“But when thou art bidden, goe and sit ⟳ downe in the lowest roume, that when he that bade thee commeth, hee may say ⟳ vnto thee, Friend, goe vp higher: then shalt thou haue worship ⟳ in the presence of them that sit ⟳ at meate with thee.”

“I will be on horsbak said the knyght / thenne was Arthur wrothe and dressid his sheld toward hym with his swerd drawen / whan the knyght sawe that / he a lyghte / for hym thought no worship ⟳ to haue a knyght at suche auaille he to be on horsbak and he on foot and so he alyght & dressid his sheld vnto Arthur”

“During his 15-year recording career, first with Galaxie 500 and now with Luna, Dean Wareham has shown all the signs of incurable Velvet Underground worship ⟳.

There’s very little of the glacial bowed-guitar and neo-classicism that made them one of the most celebrated bands in the world.”

“The pieces are so removed from Godspeed You! Black Emperor worship ⟳ or [William] Basinski-style concrete constructions that listeners will question ⟳ Munkus’ intentions – and that’s a shame, because the material’s ambitions soar above the structure ⟳ of the disc.”
