Toby. As concerning those that thou speakest of,1 which hate all men and their conversation, and seek to be solitary, because all the world doth extremely avoid them, I have known some, that in stead of joying in their wines and children, they have so extremely hated them, that they could neither see them nor hear them, no, nor abide any other person.
Tobie. As concernyng those that thou speakest of,1 whiche hate all men and their conuersation, and seeke to be sollitary, because all the world doth extreamely auoyd them, I haue knowen some, that in steede of ioiyng in their wines and children, thei haue so extreamelie hated them, that thei could neither see them nor heare them, no, nor abide any other person.
- 1They that hate and are weary of all men.Thei that hate and are wearie of all men.
Theo. Thou mayest well place those in the number of those possessed that fled into the Deserts. For there are some wicked ones so envious and hateful to every man, through the extreme covetousness that continually grieveth their greedy heart, that they would have all the world them selves: therefore as they can away with no man, no more can any man away with them: yea, they can not away with them selves. And this is the cause that they become like to these possessed men,1 which not only fell upon all such as passed by and they met,2 so that none durst pass by the way where ⟨image 42⟩they were, but also they cruelly tormented themselves, and beat themselves against the stones.
