The influence exercised by the large-souled and practical Frenchman over the fate and the history of Maltravers was very peculiar. De Montaigne had not, apparently and directly, operated upon his friend's outward destinies; but he had done so indirectly, by operating on his mind.
It is difficult for the European mind, trained to draw a broad distinction between the love of God and love for another human being, to enter into a state of feeling in which the earthly and sensual is made a type of the heavenly and spiritual, but a large-souled charity may be perhaps able to admit that by this process, strange though it be to its own habits and experiences, there may have been some improvement wrought in the inner life of men brought up in other schools of thought; and my own experience, now of fourteen years standing, enables me to say that Vaish.navism does, in spite of, or perhaps in virtue of, its peculiar modus operandi, work a change for the better on those who come under its influence.
A large-souled Reeve a Reeve with bowels! 'Treasure' quoth he, and likewise 'gold! And these be matters to excogitate upon. Moreover, pecunioe obediunt omnia, brother."
