Can someone give me an attribution for the following quotation used
in a letter written by Matthew Arnold in the context of health: QUOD
RERUM OMNIUM EST PRIMUM. A translation would be welcome, too.
Thanks.

Subject: Quoting the name of G-d

I thought I'd turn to the collective knowledge of Humanist on this one.
I frequently have Jewish students who do not wish to spell the name of
the Deity and use a form like "G-d" not merely in their own text but in
quoted text as well, thereby breaking a cardinal rule of academic
documentation that sources should be quoted exactly. In the context of
student papers it would seem not only petty but a violation of religious
freedom to object to this practice. But I was wondering what happens
out there in the real world when publishers' house styles come into
conflict with an author's religious beliefs. Is this a frequent area of
contention for orthodox Jewish academics? Are there other similar
conflicts people have run into?

I am very interested in the etymology of the inscription on the
Great Seal of Virginia "Sic Semper Tyrannis" I am unaware of any
use prior to John Wilkes Booth. I would be most appreciative of
any leads. Thanks - STEVE GREER
