Answer:

truth.

Explanation:

The word "avouch" is an old-fashioned word, which means "truth".

In Act 1, Scene 1, two Bernardo, an officer and Marcellus, a watchmen, asks Horatio, a friend of Prince Hamlet, to stand guard with them that night because they have seen the apparition and they want to show him too. But Horatio, do not belie them until he sees that apparition with his very own eyes. In the excerpt the ghost that appears to all three men was the apparition of the deceased King of Denmark.

When, Horatio saw the ghost with his own eyes he believed that it is the ghost of the deceased king. And states:

"Before my God, I might not this believe

Without the sensible and true avouch

Of mine own eyes."

meaning, Horatio would not have believed this (swearing to God), if he truly and sensibly (in his senses) had seen the ghost with his own eyes.

What is the difference between renaissance and the reformation

Liula [17]

Answer:

Renaissance is mostly a cultural movement, while reformation is a movement inside the Catholic church.

Explanation:

The Reformation was the name for religious movements against the papacy and the Catholic Church in the 16th century. From these movements new religious communities emerged, independent of the papacy.
The most important initiators of the Reformation were Martin Luther in Germany, Zwingli and Calvin in Switzerland.
Supporters of the Reformation separated from the Catholic Church, proclaimed Scripture as the sole source of faith and spread their teaching in Germany, Switzerland, the Netherlands, England and the Scandinavian countries.
The Renaissance marks the period when art, culture and intellectual endeavors turned to the classical art and teachings of Greece and Rome.
The past so revived, in which Renaissance artists and scholars found inspiration to develop and explore new ideas and practices, influenced all arts and sciences.
