Adol. He was not so much as named.
Ant. Were they at their Prayers all the While?
Adol. Ay, as if it had been for a Wager. One sung his Hail Queen; another, I believe in God. There were some who had certain particular Prayers not unlike magical Charms against Dangers.
Ant. How Affliction makes Men religious! In Prosperity we neither think of God nor Saint. But what did you do all this While? Did you not make Vows to some Saints?
Adol. No, none at all.
Ant. Why so?
Adol. I make no Bargains with Saints. For what is this but a Bargain in Form? I'll give you, if you do so and so; or I will do so and so, if you do so and so: I'll give you a wax Taper, if I swim out alive; I'll go to Rome, if you save me.
Ant. But did you call upon none of the Saints for Help?
Adol. No, not so much as that neither.
Ant. Why so?
