Yet help were in counsel: the Church could absolve:
But say not men truly thou barredst escape
By signing and sealing ...
Second Friend. On me must devolve
The task of extracting ...
First Friend. Shall Barnabites ape
Us Dominican experts?
Seventh Friend. Nay, Masters,—agape
When Hell yawns for a soul, 't is myself claim the task
Of extracting, by just one plain question, God's truth!
