I will yet descend more particularly to confute our opposites’ several answers and defences, which they have used against our argument of scandal. Ans. 1. To what purpose tells he it is their own fault? Thinks he that there are any offended without their own fault?

I was not yet out of the room when the friar offered his hand to Bettina for her to kiss, and I had the pleasure of seeing her spit upon it. This strange girl, full of extraordinary talent, made rare sport of the friar, without causing any surprise to anyone, as all her answers were attributed to the devil. I could not conceive what her purpose was in playing such a part.

Thou mayest read it: I would not for a king's ransom. But so as I do but write, thou sayest thou wilt be pleased. Be pleased then. I command thee to be pleased: if not for the writer's or written sake, for thy word's sake. Farewell. I now send you copies of my letters to my uncles: with their answers.

Each deposition seems to cost him a twinge; and at one moment I fancied I saw him slip his hand into his coat pocket. 'We must re-bury them all, say I. 'O yes, he answers with integrity.
