Sir, now I look daily when Diotrephes with his warriors shall assault me: wherefore I pray you good father, for that you are an old Soldier, and an expert warrior, and God knoweth I am but a young Soldier, and as yet of small experience in these fits, help me I pray you to buckle my harness. And now I would have you to think, that these darts are cast at my head of some one of Diotrephes or Antonius soldiers.
