holding

Take again

From this my hand, as holding of the Pope

Your sovereign greatness and authority.

This has no holding,

To swear by him whom I protest to love

That I will work against him.

Make battery to our ears with the loud music;

The while I'll place you; then the boy shall sing.

The holding every man shall beat as loud

As his strong sides can volley.

This is one of the principal holdings of that destructive system, which has endeavoured to unhinge all the virtuous, honourable, and useful connexions in the kingdom.
