THEO. But I pray you why do they rather beare a Palme in theyr handes than any other thynge?
PHIL. I will tell you neighbours, that which they bear in deed in their hands, is not pro perly called a Palm, for they are the bows of a Sallow tree, but by cause we have no Palms growing in this land, therefore do we bear them in stead of Palms. By bearing of those Palms the victory that we have gotten over Satan through Christ is signified.
