They ran as follows: "'Tis sorrow builds the shining ladder up, Whose golden rounds are our calamities." And the passages to which they pointed read: "My son, despise not the chastening of the Lord, nor faint when thou art rebuked of him; for whom the Lord loveth he chasteneth, and scourgeth every son whom he receiveth.
A little pit for your female thief to swim at large, for your witch and bringer-in of hell's ordinances; a decent gallows a-top for your proper male rascal; a pillory for your tenderer blossom of sin while he qualify for an airy crown, or find space for repentance and the fruits of true contrition; lastly, a persuasive tumbril, a close lover for your incorrigible wanton girls homely chastisement such as a father Abbot may bestow, and yet wear a comely face, and yet be loved by those he chasteneth.
For whom the Lord loveth he chasteneth, and scourgeth every son whom he receiveth. I will wait patiently, my son, hoping for proofs which shall convince the world of your innocence.
