A. My dear, this shows indeed he is a God and not a man who has such tender mercy.
Wife. Mercy I what you call mercy?
A. He pities and spares us: as he is our great Creator, so he is also our tender Father.
Wife. So God never angry, never kill wicked, then he no good, no great mighty.
A. O my dear, don't say so, he is both; and many times he shows terrible examples of his judgment and vengeance.
Wife. Then you makee de bargain with him; you do bad ting, he no hurt you, he hurt other mans.
A. No, indeed, my lips are all presumptions upon his goodness.
Wife. Well, and yet no makee you dead; and you give him no tankee neither?
A. It is true, I an ungrateful, unthankful dog, that I am.
Wife. Why, you say, he makee you, why makee you no much better then?
