Aye, is it not evil to speak against the traditions of the Elders? No worse to blaspheme the Temple itself! Is not Israel the chosen of God, and hath it not been written there is no salvation outside Israel? Had there been no Jew the Law from Sinai had not been given and we too would be unclean as the Gentiles. What worse could one do than set at naught the traditions of the Elders?
Then began I with sad and careful heart, to consider of the nature and largeness of my sin, and to search in the Word of God, if I could in any place espy a word of promise, or any encouraging sentence by which I might take relief. Wherefore I began to consider that third of Mark, All manner of sins and blasphemies shall be forgiven unto the sons of men, wherewith soever they shall blaspheme.
Sobbing in the dark hall. Quick shut the front door, for I do not want to look in. God help them! Here it is a wine-cellar. Going into the door are depraved men and lost women. Some stagger. All blaspheme. Men with rings in their ears instead of their nose; and blotches of breast-pin. Pictures on the wall cut out of the Police Gazette. A slush of beer on floor and counter.
And this I say again, that thou hast laid open thy weakness very much, to say that every man hath that which is as good as the Spirit of Christ, Friend, seeing the scriptures say, some have not the Spirit of Christ, how durst thou so blaspheme, as to say, then it is as good as the Spirit of Christ in its measure. Friend, what is there besides the Spirit that is as good as the Spirit.
And I never expect to see one that I shall like better than the fat revenues of the Abbacy of Dulce Cor!" He paused a moment as if roguishly considering some point. "Besides," he went on, "wed I may not, but woo that is another matter! I have never yet heard that an Abbot " "Good-day!" cried Sholto, suddenly, at this point, "I will not stay to hear you blaspheme!"
Besides, St. Peter says that they do not tremble to blaspheme dignities; for it has become to the Pope a small and slight thing to put kings and princes under ban, to curse them, and depose them, and moreover excite mischief among them, and stir them up one against another.
Jude declares, blaspheme in what they know not, and corrupt themselves in what they know. They are blind to what passes in their own homes, but preternaturally clear-sighted to all happening in the houses of others. Now what is this that a man knows not at all? Surely, the heart; the secret thoughts of his neighbour.
For, look you, in my presence you have spoken infamy of Dame Melicent, though knowing I am in your debt so deeply that I have not the right to resent anything you may elect to say. You have just given me my life; and armoured by the fire-new obligation, you blaspheme an angel, you condescend to buffet a fettered man " But with that his sluggish wits had spied an honest way out of the imbroglio.
"Samuel Parris, if you have come to upbraid me, to gloat over my captivity and add to my misery, do so. I am powerless and cannot resist you; but I do entreat you not to blaspheme your Maker." The great eyes of Parris gleamed with sullen fire; his thin lips parted; his breath came short and quick, and for a few moments he was unable to answer.
"Excellency, hearken to me. I swear by all the saints " "In whose name you blaspheme, rascal. Have I not heard your oath in Naples when the irons seared your flesh? Shall I listen again when the fire is being made ready, and there is burning coal beneath the bed you will lie upon to-night, Signor Rocca?" "Oh! for God's sake, Excellency!" "Not so; for the sake of Venice, rather."
