T. Because thou doest many unintentional wrongs.
D. Thy charge will not satisfy me of wrong.
T. When thou seest thy brother in need, hast thou aided him? When thou seest him disconsolate, hast thou cheered him? When thou hast found him naked of wisdom, hast thou clothed him with garments of salvation? When thou hast found him an hungered and thirsting after righteousness, hast thou fed him with the bread of heaven, and given him the water of life?
D. That has been my desire.
T. Have thy desires been operative to the good of mind?
D. I would they had been more so.
T. Then thou shouldst put away thy craft, and leave thy habitation of darkness. Thou wilt not do as thy soul desireth, so long as thou remainest imprisoned within the walls of this castle. I see thy intentions are well, but thy wisdom is selfish. When thou shalt relinquish thy wrongs, and no longer wrong others by the inculcation of thy errors, then thou wilt reform the abuses of thy brethren, without money and without price.
D. I would reform any wrong that I may have, but I would first know the wrong.
T. Thou wilt, then, understand what thy wrongs are?
D. Truly.
