MY lord, Dr. Taylor replied, leave off your railing at me, which is not seemly for such a one in authority as you are. For I am a christian man, and you know, that "He that saith to his brother, Racha, is in danger of a council, and he that saith, Thou fool, is in danger of hell fire."
THE bishop answered, You are false, and liars all the sort of you.
NAY, said Dr. Taylor, we are true men, and know that it is written, "The mouth that lieth, slayeth the soul;" and again, "Lord God, thou shalt destroy all that speak lies." And therefore we abide by the truth of God's word, which you, contrary to your own consciences, deny and forsake.
THOU art married, said the bishop. Yes, I thank God I am, and have had nine children, and all in lawful matrimony, and blessed be God that ordained matrimony, and commanded that every man, that hath not the gift of continency, should marry a wife of his own, and not live in adultery or whoredom.
