"I will take down your firmness, ruffian."
"I am at your disposal. Whatever you devise, I shall be more than a match for you in the name of God who strengtheneth me."
"Open his hands and put fire in them."
"I am not afraid of your fire, which endures for a moment; but I am afraid lest, if I were to obey you, I should become a partaker of the eternal fire."

"You talk to me as if I had begged you not to use your arts of persuasion upon my body. I am proof against all that you are doing to me."
"Tie his feet and hang him aloft by them; then send up a thick smoke in his face."
"I thought nothing of your fire; do you suppose that I shall be afraid of your smoke?"
"Consent to sacrifice, now that you are hung up."
"You may sacrifice, sir; you are accustomed to sacrificing—even to sacrificing men. But God forbid that I should do so."
