And the Dissenters testified many and grievous things against Daniel. "Daniel," said the Lord, "what answerest thou?" "Nothing, Lord," said Daniel. "Only I would that the Dissenter who threw that stone at me should receive due and condign punishment, adequate to his misdeed." "That," said the Devil, "is impossible." "Thou sayest well, Satan," said the Lord, "and therefore shall Daniel go free.
When a country squire hears of an ape, his first feeling is to give it nuts and apples; when he hears of a Dissenter, his immediate impulse is to commit it to the county gaol, to shave its head, to alter its customary food, and to have it privately whipped.

The effect in their favor, even defensively, would be infinitely slow.
"It is perfectly marvellous, my dear," she said to her companion, Agatha Terry, "how fond people are of twenty thousand a year, and yet they all said that they loved me for myself, that is, all except the dissenter, who wanted me to help to 'feed his flock, and I liked him the best of the lot, because he was the honestest."
