Godly. Nay Thoughtful 'tis so, and more I must tell thee, they have been waiting here a long time, even ever since I came first to knock at thy door, and I told thee so too, but I perceive thy memory proves false to thee; likewise, he is doubtless misled by that base Old-man; but if thou dost not open to me the sooner, they will leave thee, for they never come into any man's House who keep their doors shut against True Godliness. Why dost not knock the Old-man down, and lay him a bleeding, ⟨p. 134⟩'tis not enough to cry, What, Lord, shall I do? but thou must shake off that lazy Fellow Sloth, and like a brave and courageous Soul acquit thy self.

Thoughtful, Alas, what can I do, this Old-man is too strong for me, and Wilful-will is a very stubborn Fellow too, I am no match for them.

Godliness, Why, I will tell thee, there is one in thy House that will help thee, if thou hearken to him.
