In a conversation with Cosin, Bishop of Devon, who had censured him for his moderation, Wilkins frankly told him that he was a better friend to the Church of England than his lordship "for while you," says he, "are for setting the top on the picqued end and downwards, you won't be able to keep it up any longer than you keep whipping and scourging; whereas I am for setting the broad end downwards, and so 'twill stand of itself."
Everything I possess I would joyfully give to my sweet love," looking at her with intense affection. "She is worth more than all I have beside." "But I want more than money and lands," persisted Cosin. "Mind, you have agreed to do whatever I may propose." "Yes. Anything you require. I trust you as my own soul."
"Oh," said Cosin, "I'll be bound he is at his favourite haunt. The prison is not the place to read love-letters in. He always goes there when he wants to be alone. Shall we go and see, major?" There, as has been said, they found him. The first impression was that he was dead. And no wonder: he looked so like it. But closer examination shewed that life was still in him.
Then he asked about its age, and Cosin shewed him a place in the wall of one of the chapels where two hands are supporting a heart in some sort of relief. No inscription whatever accompanies the simple representation.
And she did so in the prettiest way imaginable, with all the simple grace of true kindness of heart. The effect on Tournier was reviving. It reminded him of happy days gone by, which he never thought to see again. Alice Cosin was a girl worth looking at. And the gallant captain could not refrain from doing so whenever it was possible without rudeness.
The Presbyterians had also their twelve principal men and their nine coadjutors. Conspicuous among the Episcopalians for weight of learning were Bishops Sanderson, Cosin, and Walton, and Doctors Pearson, Sparrow, and Heylin. Baxter, Reynolds, Calamy, and Lightfoot were the most notable of the Presbyterians.
It was like the harsh grating of a heavy door that had hitherto barred his way to happiness, but was now opening. "The thing is," said Cosin in a milder tone, "does Alice like you?" "I cannot say. She never did anything to make me suppose it. But I was not observant, for I did not think about it."
However much they might have a right to claim as their legitimate due usages which their rubrics seemed to authorise, and which were scarcely unfrequent even in the days of Heylyn and Cosin, they were not disposed to insist upon what would in their day be considered as innovations in the direction of Rome. Better to widen that breach rather than in any way to lessen it.
"Yes, Miss Cosin," he replied in a very dissatisfied tone; "yet I am not free altogether, my body is, but I shall leave my heart behind me." "Oh, that will never do," said Alice, with more vivacity than he quite liked: "you will want your heart. You could never be a heartless man I am quite sure," and she looked archly at the handsome young fellow as she said it, and smiled so provokingly.
And when Tournier got strong enough to think and converse without restraint, he told Cosin, with great emotion, the terrible nature of that struggle he had had beside the water of the mere before they found him, and what it was God had made use of to save him. "I cannot describe," he said, "the hell that rose up within me when I read that she was married.
