Where in the Scripture does it describe King David as having a ruddy Complexion?
1 Samuel 16:11-13 - And Samuel said unto Jesse, Are here all thy children? And he said, There remaineth yet the youngest, and, behold, he keepeth the sheep. And Samuel said unto Jesse, Send and fetch him: for we will not sit down till he come hither. And he sent, and brought him in. Now he was ruddy, and withal of a beautiful countenance, and goodly to look to. And the LORD said, Arise, anoint him: for this is he. Then Samuel took the horn of oil, and anointed him in the midst of his brethren: and the spirit of the LORD came upon David from that day forward. So Samuel rose up, and went to Ramah. (KJV)
Why did England move in the direction of parliamentary while most countries on the continent embraced absolutism?
In 1066, William the duke of Normandy (vassal to King of France), invaded and conquered the entire kingdom of England. Thanks to the fact that England is an island, this facilitated the entire control without confronting border disputes with any other countries. So, once in command, King William implemented a feudal system, by which he sought advice of a council of tenants-in-chief and ecclesiastics in command, before making any laws. He consulted with his most powerful subjects, and by mid 13th century, these consultations or “parlays”, later transformed into “parliaments”. These practices grow, and even the wealthiest but lesser-than-noble came to the Parliament to address their grievances. The Parliament, by the 14th century solidified as a permanent institution of the government of England. Despite the institution of the Parliament, during the first half of the 17th century, two monarchies in power attempted to emulate French absolutism. Both, James I (James VI of Scotland) and his son Charles I tried to rule without consulting the Parliament, even to rule without it. But, Parliament had so much power by that time, that neither James nor Charles could successfully decrease its role in the government. Charles I needed more than his dad the financial support from the Parliament, reason why he had a bitter confrontation. Furthermore, because he did not concede to its demands regarding taxation, law trials, and the recognition of the Protestants’ church; a civil war began by 1642, and lasted for two generations. In fact, the Parliament’s rich supporters, they prospered merchants and taxpayers financed a New Model Army. A military force composed by farmers, protestant’s followers, poor artisans and day laborers. This New Model Army defeated the King Charles I, which was publicly executed by order of the Parliament. In such manner, once the Parliament secured its interest, brought from the exiled the son of the executed King, Charles II and restored the court and Crown. This new King, conscious of what happened to his dad, he obviously was never tented to try to impose absolutism. Withal, his brother James II did try to bend the Parliament, but his Catholicism never got the sympathy of the Anglican Church. Adding to this, even the upper class wanted the monarchy, they did not want absolutism. Later, by 1688 the Anglicans and powerful aristocrats support an invasion from James's son-in-law to save the government from his absolutist ideals. So, a new freely elected Parliament deemed James to have abdicated, to replace him by his protestant daughter Mary, and her husband William III from the Netherlands. Ergo, William’s victory defeated for the last time the absolutist ideals in England. The Parliament finally secured its rights to assemble and to have voice and vote in all government business, officially documented in the Bill of rights (1689).
The similarities with belmont and Venice in the play merchant of Venice?
Shakespeare allows the audience to construct their own moral responses to both plays, "The Merchant of Venice," and "Macbeth" by using a range of dramatic methods such as aides, dialogs, soliloquy, and tone of voice, juxtaposition of lines, metaphor, similes and imagery. It is a Shakespeare's skills as a dramatist the he encourages thought and creates a moral debate amongst the audience as The Merchant of Venice has many different interpretations of Shylock's choice, unlike Macbeth, as the audience generally has a similar moral response. Shakespeare manipulates the audience so that he leaves them in a state of confusion, as moral interpretations of Shylock's choice vary throughout the audience. Indeed at the end of the play, the audience might question whether or not the characters have learnt a moral lesson from the events, and the outcome has not changed the character's behaviour, although the audience learns a moral lesson.In act 1: scene 1 of The Merchant of Venice, we witness Antonio's social power, being a wealthy Christian over a Jewish usurer. Shakespeare centres the attention to the cruel treatment Shylock receives by Antonio and invites the audience to sympathise with Shylock, "You call me misbeliever, cut throat dog/you spit on me Jewish gaberdine/and all for use of that which is mine own." The audience can sympathise with Shylock and justify his hatred and thirst for revenge over Antonio, although in Macbeth, the audience is wholly critical of Macbeth as in act 1: scene 2 Shakespeare highlights the King and Soldier's positive opinion of Macbeth, "brave Macbeth," "noble Macbeth." This leads the audience to criticise Macbeth when he makes the decision to kill the kind as Macbeth has no justification for his ambitious actions whereas, Shylock can be justified. Shakespeare is also keen to demonstrate Banquo in Macbeth as a character who discourages Macbeth's ideas to seize the crown, "tis strange:/And often sometimes, to win us our harm,/The instruments of darkness tell us truths,/Win us with honest trifles, to betrays,/In deepest consequence." Banquo cautions Macbeth and warns Macbeth not to pursue this ruthless ambition. In The Merchant of Venice, Shakespeare has no friend to discourage him and has no character to kill his ambition.Shakespeare uses a dramatic aside in The Merchant of Venice, Act 1: Scene 3 which allows the audience to for the first time, witness Shylock's true intentions and thought processes, "I hate him for he is Christian;/If i catch him once upon the hip i will feed fat the ancient grudge i bear him." Shakespeare crafts the memorable line to establish Shylock's hatred for Antonio, and also to present Shylock to have no moral awareness and instead to show excitement and desperation for revenge which the audience criticises, but may also understand his hatred and thirst for revenge to an extent. In Macbeth, Shakespeare uses an aside to give the audience further access to Macbeth's thoughts and an insight to his true intentions, "two truths are told,/As happy prologues to the swelling act/Of the imperial theme."Shakespeare uses the metaphor, "happy prologues" to provide clear evidence that Macbeth welcomes these titles to be king. Shakespeare continues to communicate Macbeth's thoughts through an aside showing that he is unsure of his choices, "Cannot be ill, cannot be good," "Why do i yield to that suggestion/Whose horrid image doth unfix my hair/And make my seated heart knock at my ribs,/Against the use of nature?" Shakespeare has presented Macbeth to have moral awareness between right and wrong, and has left him undecided yet easy to manipulate. Macbeth is seen to have human scrumples and believes the thought of killing the king to be horrifying. Macbeth has been shown by Shakespeare to understand differences between thought and action and Macbeth without the influence of another character does not have the strength to kill the king and might not act upon his thoughts.In Act 3: Scene 1, Shakespeare presents Shylock as a sympathetic character once again, so that the audience can justify his actions, "He hath disgraced me, and hindered me half a million, laughed at my losses, mocked at my gains, scored my nation, thwarted my bargains, cooled my friends, heated mine enemies." Shakespeare gives the audience alot of reason to sympathise with Shylock and criticise Antonio, also, justify Shylock's thirst for revenge. But Shakespeare in the same dialogue, allows the sympathy to be stripped from Shylock and leads the audience to criticise him once again, and the audience can sense Shylock's awareness of the control he has over Antonio in the lines, "To bait fish withal; if it will feed nothing else, it will feed my revenge." This establishes Shylock's motivation and his definite intention to extract the pound of flesh from Antonio, this creates debate throughout the audience from multiple opinions to Shylock's choice.
Need information on The Bartlett Brothers Gunsmith or Gunmakers out of Binghamton New York in the 1800s?
The Bartlett family in Binghamton, so well known in county, village and city history for a period of nearly three-quarters of a century, were the descendants of Captain Isaac and Col. Loring Bartlett, natives of Salisbury, Conn. In 1813, according to well authenticated Tioga county records, Capt. Bartlett and his family settled in Owego. The pioneer himself was a blacksmith and wagon maker, while his sons Joseph and Robert S. were gunsmiths. The children in the family were Eliza, Joseph, Alvin, Robert S., Abigail, Isaac L., Jerusha, Will- iam B. and Charles Bartlett, not all of whom, however, settled in Binghamton, nor did all of them come with the pioneer to Owego. The representatives of Col. Loring Bartlett's family in Broome county were Dorcas, George and Phebe Bartlett, all of whom lived and died in this city. Loring Bartlett never lived in this state. Isaac and Lor- ing Bartlett were sons of Sylvanus Bartlett, and grandsons of Sylvaniis Bartlett, sr. , the latter a patriot of the Revolution. The family in America was descended from Robert Bartlett, who came to Plymouth on the ship Ann in 16"23, and was of Puritan stock. Some of the de- scendants of Robert afterward settled in Salisbury, Conn., and from them sprung the branch of the family that came into southern New York. In 1829 Capt. Isaac Bartlett and his family removed from Owego to Binghamton, and with the best interests and history of the latter muni- cipality his sons and their children were afterward identified. Joseph and Robert S. were gunsmiths and started a shop on the north side of Court street, between the site of the present Sisson building and the corner next east. Their property was taken by the State in the con- struction of the canal, after which they purchased land on the west side of Franklin street (now Washington), where for a period of about fifteen years they carried on an extensive gun making business, employing at times as many as twenty- five workmen. Isaac L. Bartlett was prob- ably associated with his older brothers in gun making, and in the same building he also made plows. Soon after 1850 the manufacture of guns by machinery in the large cities seriously interfered with the success of the Bartlett factory in this village, therefore the business was closed and the building was sold to Mr. Tichenor. In the meantime, while their business was yielding good results, Joseph and Robert S. Bartlett purchased a large farm east of the village, and placed it in charge of their father. After selling out in the village Joseph Bartlett moved to the farm and afterward lived there nearly his whole life time. Joseph Bartlett was for many years closely identified with Broome county his- tory, and was, withal, one of the most prominent men in this locality. He filled various public offices, the most important of which, perhaps, was that of sheriff, from 184i to 1847. He was at one time superin- tendent of this division of the Chenango canal, and in many other ways associated with the history of this region. His wife was Deborah Caf- ferty, of an old and highly respected family in Union. They raised to maturity a large and interesting family of children, several of whom in later years occupied positions of distinction. in business, professional and political life. These children were William Alvin, the noted divine of Chicago and Washington, but now living in New York; Joseph J., who became a major-general in the Union army during the war of 18G1-65, and was afterward appointed U. S. minister to Norway and Sweden; Frederick, who was a sea captain many years and who with his vessel was lost and never afterward heard of; Robert, Frank, L. Chester, a major on his brother's military staff, once sheriff of Broome county and also mem- ber of assembly; Benjamin, Henry, Edward, Julia, and one other child who died young. Robert S. Bartlett lived in Binghamton from 1829 to the time of his death, July 33, 18S1. He is remembered as a man of quiet and conservative habits, whose chief aim in life was the comfort of his family and the welfare of the village and city. He was connected with the village government in various capacities, such as collector, highway commissioner, school district trustee and assessor. He was deputy sheriff under his brother and also deputy under the latter in the canal superintendency. He was appointed railway mail agent in 1853 and served in that capacity until about five years before his death. His wife was Dorcas M., daughter of Col. Loring Bartlett. Their children were Eliza, who married Oilman L. Sessions; John S., of Buffalo, for more than twenty years northwestern passenger agent of the Erie railroad ; James H. Bartlett, deputy postmaster at Bingham- ton; George, now of Binghamton but formerly freight agent of the Northern Central railroad at Elmira; and Anna Bartlett, who married Oliver W. Sears and now lives in the old homestead on Court street. Isaac L. Bartlett, for many years one of our most prominent business men, was born in Salisbury, Conn., June 20, 1813. He came with his father's family to Binghamton in 1829, and soon associated with his brother in their gun factory. In their Franklin street shop he added a plow making branch to the business, which he carried on several years. He afterward started a yard on the canal bank and dealt extensively in hard and soft lumber. In 1864 the firm of Blanchard & Bartlett was formed, and purchased the old Collier mill on the corner of Hawley street and the canal. Later on the firm purchased the Kenyon & New- ton mill, which stood on the north bank of the Susquehanna, below the Rockbottom dam. This plant was destroyed by fire, after which the firm operated the Collier mill, doing a general lumber manufacturing business, until 1867, when the Evans warehouse property on the east side of the "basin " was purchased, rebuilt and made into a large sash, blind and door factory and planing mill. The buildings were subse- quently enlarged until the factory became one of the largest in south- ern New York. John W. Rowlingson came into the firm about 1873, but two years later, through business misfortunes, the entire property passed into the hands of Bartlett Bros. (Arthur S. & Charles J. Bart- lett.) The junior partner died in September, 1886, upon which the firm name was changed to Bartlett & Co., as since known in business circles. Isaac L. Bartlett, the founder in fact of this leading industry, died December 20, 1888, after almost sixty years of active business life and of residence in Binghamton. He was much respected in social and business circles, and is remembered especially for his exemplary habits and correct life. His wife, with whom he married in May, 1846, was Emily Banks of Bridgeport, Conn. Their children were Arthur S. , now senior partner in the firm of Bartlett & Co. ; Laura B. , who mar- ried Herbert E. Smith; Isaac L., jr., now dead; Charles J., now dead; and Emily B., who became the wife of Sidney T. Clark.

What does Shakespeare mean by the word withal?
Withal is now an obsolete word because its work has been taken over entirely with the word "with". An example from As You Like It: Rosalind: By no means, sir. Time travels in divers paces with divers persons. I'll tell you who Time ambles withal, who Time trots withal, who Time gallops withal, and who he stands still withal. Or from Merchant of Venice, when Shylock is asked what good the pound of flesh would be, he replies: To bait fish withal. In both cases, substituting the word "with" works perfectly in a more modern idiom. It would appear that Shakespeare did not like the sound of the preposition "with" at the end of the sentence and replaced it with "withal" in that position. (Many much more modern English speakers object to ending sentences with a preposition and recommend reversing the word order, with results which are sometimes amusing: "That is something up with which I will not put.") Shakespeare was, however, really fond of this word and used it in other contexts where its meaning is not so clear. E.g. Portia talking to the Prince of Morocco: The one of them contains my picture, prince: If you choose that, then I am yours withal. The word seems to add nothing except the two syllables necessary to round out the line. The same can be said of this line of Valentine's from The Two Gentlemen of Verona: These banish'd men that I have kept withal Are men endued with worthy qualities Possibly these uses of the word suggest "with" and an unspecified object which we have to get from context. So Portia's line means that she is the Prince's with something, perhaps the picture or perhaps her wealth. Valentine's banished men have been kept with him, presumably. The OED lists some examples where the word clearly means "with all the rest" which may be the kind of meaning here. Shakespeare uses this irritating word over 150 times.
