“Come hither, thou recreant Jack, thou lily-livered Jack, thou hysterical Jack. Tell me now, thou hast read Plato's Dialogues, and Aristotle's Logic?”
To which Jack very meekly answered, “Yes.”
“Then I will deal with thee after the manner of those ancient sages, and ask whether the greater must not contain the less?”
Jack. Yes, sure.
Frank. And that which is more than a part, contain that part, more than which it is?
Jack. Yes, sure.
Frank. Then tell me, is not a priest more than a layman?
Jack (who was always very loud about the dignity of the priesthood, as many of his cloth are, who have no other dignity whereon to stand) answered very boldly, “Of course.”
Frank. Then a priest containeth a man, and is a man, and something over—viz, his priesthood?
Jack (who saw whither this would lead). I suppose so.
