W. And is it for the glory of God to revile thy brother, and deny what revelation and thy vows unto the Lord have made incumbent upon thee to perform?
C. It is not. But who has reviled? Who has denied his vows and revelation?
W. Hast thou need to be informed, that no name is so offensive in thy sight as infidel? And didst thou not use that word to revile thy brother? Is that for the glory of God, which injures thyself and those that hear thee? When thou shalt see thyself, as thy Master seeth thee, then thou wilt not contradict his instruction. Thou wilt not dispute with revelation, because thou dost not comprehend, by reason of thy confinement, the wisdom it discloses. Wouldst thou evacuate this castle?
C. I would consult my teacher, and exercise my reason.
W. Who is thy teacher, and what is thy reason?
C. That thou mayest explain.
W. Thy teacher will not consent to any interference.
C. Thou mayest explain, and I will counsel with him.
W. Better that thou shouldst call him, and I will converse with him before thee.
C. The mind soon said, “He is here.”
