The question is discussed by theologians if the recitation of Terce or Sext may be lawfully and validly made before the ordination.

Hence, a priest reading his office as a mere study or as a means of remembering the words of the psalms does not validly recite his office (St. Alph., n. 176).

Our Lord wishes us to pray always; St. Paul says (I. Tim. ii.) that we should pray in every place, and theologians teach that a priest may validly and licitly say his Hours walking in the fields, in his room, or in any suitable place.

The Treaty of Versailles and those which have followed with Austria, Hungary, Bulgaria and Turkey have been validly signed, and they pledge the good faith of the countries which have signed them.

That is why an improbable or otherwise inacceptable incident cannot be validly defended on the plea that it actually happened: that it is on record in history or in the newspapers.

CHANCELLOR The highest virtue circles halo-wise Our Cæsar's brow; virtue, which from the throne, He validly can exercise alone: Justice!What all men love and prize, What all demand, desire, and sorely want, It lies with him, this to the folk to grant.

It seems clear, at any rate, that no claim for a 'consistency' which would imply freedom from self-contradiction can be validly made for Blake.
