character , and do leave space about ' em , according to their rank and dignity : 4 Worshipful Sir ! * " A WORD IN THE EA . H . IS OFTEN AS GOOD AS A HALTER UNDER IT AND SAVES THE GROAT . " 4 Thou discoursest well , " said Sir Thomas , " but others can discourse well likewise : thou shalt avoid ; I am resolute . " '—p . 89—93 .
The penchant of the justice for divinity serves Willy in good stead , who right nobly ministers to his cravings for the repetition of all that had been preached or said , in his hearing , by Dr . Glaston of Oxford , when the woolfactor ' s son had gone thither on his father ' s business ^ and , after sermon , been invited to the dinner and evening admonition of the doctor . There are many passages bearing the same stamp as those for which alone we can make room .
' < c In the earlier ages of mankind , your Greek and Latin authors inform you , there went forth sundry worthies , men of might , to deliver , not wandering damsels , albeit for those likewise they had stowage , but low-conditioned men , who fell under the displeasure of the higher , and groaned in thraldom and captivity . And these mighty ones vvere believed to have done such services to poor humanity , that their memory grew greater than they , as shadows do than substances at day-fail . And

Conduct him to his Lord and Master , whose household he hath left . It is better to consign him to Christ his Saviour than to man his murderer : it is better to bid
him live than to bid him die . The one word our Teacher and Preserver said , the other our enemy and destroyer . Bring him back again , the stray , the lost one 1 brink him back , not with clubs and cudgels , not with halberts and halters , but generously and gently , and with the linking of the arm . In this posture shall God above smile upon ye : in this posture of yours he shall recognise again his beloved Son upon earth . Do ye likewise and depart in peace . ' '—pp . 121 , 122 .
