The enemy pressed on him so close that it was with difficulty that he at length made his way over the Gette.

And when we have books to scatter and distribute there, we want trusty men to receive and hide them, and sell or give them with secrecy and dispatch. It is a task of no small peril.

Thus the longing for an undeserved reward was visited with a deserved penalty, and the thirst for an undue wage justly punished.
