"Right or wrong, I cannot have such language used in my house.

For the sake of my wife and children, I cannot!" "My dear brother Parsons, deal more gently with the flock," interposed Campian.

"Your opinion, though probable, as I well know, in the eyes of most of our order, is hardly safe enough here; the opposite is at least so safe that Mr.Leigh may well excuse his conscience for accepting it.
After all, are we not sent hither to proclaim this very thing, and to relieve the souls of good Catholics from a burden which has seemed to them too heavy ?" "Yes," said Parsons, half-sulkily, "to allow all Balaams who will to sacrifice to Baal, while they call themselves by the name of the Lord." "My dear brother, have I not often reminded you that Naaman was allowed to bow himself in the house of Rimmon?
And can we therefore complain of the office to which the Holy Father has appointed us, to declare to such as Mr.Leigh his especial grace, by which the bull of Pius the Fifth (on whose soul God have mercy!) shall henceforth bind the queen and the heretics only; but in no ways the Catholics, at least as long as the present tyranny prevents the pious purposes of the bull ?" "Be it so, sir; be it so.

Only observe this, Mr.Leigh, that our brother Campian confesses this to be a tyranny.

Observe, sir, that the bull does still bind the so-called queen, and that she and her magistrates are still none the less usurpers, nonentities, and shadows of a shade.
