(Exeunt.)
(After an interval, the two Masters of Ceremonies enter.)
First Master of Ceremonies:
Dear brother, I must openly confess
That our Grand Master’s clemency exceeds
My comprehension, when I needs must see
What bitter wrong our foes inflict on us.
Although they will not study what we teach
They scruple not to paint us in men’s eyes
As heretics and messengers from hell.
