The energy which he had shown in his earlier combat with the democratic forces embodied in the Kirk was not likely to slacken on his accession to the southern throne.
Benedict embodied in his rules the spirit and active life of the West, and hence, the monastic system, then in danger of dying, or stagnating, revived and spread all over Europe. Again, the hermit life was ill-adapted to the West. Men could not live out of doors in Europe and subsist on small quantities of food as in Egypt.

Besides, story-telling to any person of active interests is one of the easiest and most stimulating methods of teaching.
There never was a man, from the first to the present day of the society, who so thoroughly embodied and exhibited that quality attributed to the Quaker, in the rhyming nursery alphabet, "Q was a Quaker, and would not bow down." No, Johnny Darbyshire would not have bowed down to any mortal power.
The man before him seemed to him embodied cruelty and hypocrisy; he felt neither pity nor compunction.
