Whence all their friends (being equally poor) have not money enough for their redemption. These are the rotten post whereon the Fabric of Rome stands. Think not their stolen waters cheap. Your purses must pay for them. Yet happy were you, if no higher price was set on them. All is not discharged with your ready mny; there is another reckoning: your souls mus pay for the.
