But unto such-minded folk speaketh holy scripture in this wise: "Say not, I have sinned and yet there hath happed me none harm, for God suffereth before he strike." But, as St. Austine saith, the longer he tarrieth ere he strike, the sorer is the stroke when he striketh.
Because in her feebleness she yielded entirely to the fate that swept her on, she was imbued with its demoniac power. "'Charity suffereth long, and is kind; charity envieth not; charity vaunteth not itself, is not puffed up, "'Doth not behave itself unseemly, seeketh not her own, is not easily provoked, thinketh no evil; "'Rejoiceth not in iniquity, but rejoiceth in the truth;
