Theol. Now I perceive, you are a wonderful man: you can keep all the Commandments. You are like the blind Ruler, which said unto Christ, All these things have I kept from my youth. 1I perceive now indeed, that it is no marvel though you make so light of Preaching: for you have no need of it. You are whole, you need not the Physician: you feel no misery, and therefore you care not for mercy. For where misery is not felt, there mercy is not regarded: but I see you need no Saviour.
