And now, therefore, I pray you, speak somewhat of imprisonment. ANTHONY: That shall I, cousin, with good will. And first, if we could consider what thing imprisonment is of its own nature methinketh we should not have so great horror of it. For of itself it is, perdy, but a restraint of liberty, which hindereth a man from going whither he would. VINCENT: Yes, by St.
But, by God, uncle, all the wisdom in this world can never so master pain but that pain will be painful, in spite of all the wit in this world! ANTHONY: Truth it is, cousin, that no man can, with all the reason he hath, in such wise change the nature of pain that in the having of pain he feel it not. For unless it be felt, perdy, it is no pain.
For the great part of his counsel shall be to encourage him to amendment, and that is, perdy, far from falling into sin again. VINCENT: I think, uncle, that folk fall into this ungracious mind, through the devil's temptation, by many more means than one. ANTHONY: That is, cousin, very true. For the devil taketh his occasions as he seeth them fall convenient for him.
For otherwise shall you have more beggars, perdy, than there are, and no man left able to relieve another. For this I think in my mind a very sure conclusion: If all the money that is in this country were tomorrow brought together out of every man's hand and laid all upon one heap, and then divided out unto every man alike, it would be on the morrow after worse than it was the day before.
Solomon was, you know, the richest and most wealthy king that any man could in his time tell of, and yet was he well beloved with God. Job also was no beggar, perdy, nor no wretch otherwise. Nor did he lose his riches and his wealth because God would not that his friend should have wealth, but rather for the show of his patience, to the increase of his merit and the confusion of the devil.
Howbeit, I purpose now to consider first imprisonment as imprisonment alone, without any other incommodity besides. For a man may be imprisoned, perdy, and yet not set in the stocks or collared fast by the neck. And a man may be let walk at large where he will, and yet have a pair of fetters fast riveted on his legs.
And therefore go on your way, and look that ye be of good comfort, for all shall be for your worship and for the best, and perdy a twelvemonth will soon be done, and trust me, fair knight, I shall be true to you, and never to betray you, but to my death I shall love you and none other.
That country, which shall be to me then for a while so strange, shall yet perdy be no more strange to me nor longer strange to me, neither than was mine own native country when first I came into it.
When, upon a Good Friday, he would needs have killed himself for Christ as Christ did for him, she said to him that it would then be fitting for him to die even after the same fashion. And that might not be by his own hands, but by the hand of another; for Christ, perdy, killed not himself. And he was very glad thereof.
VINCENT: But yet, uncle, in that case is the other prisoner too, for he is as sure that he shall die, perdy. ANTHONY: This is very true, cousin, indeed, and well objected too.
