(Act. III, sc. i.)
CHRISTIAN PRIEST.
But we by Martyrdom our faith aver.
MONTEZUMA.
You do no more than I for ours do now,
To prove religion true....
If either wit or suffering would suffice,
All faiths afford the constant and the wise,
And yet ev'n they, by education sway'd,
In Age defend what infancy obey'd.
CHRISTIAN PRIEST.
Since Age by erring childhood is misled
Refer yourself to our unerring head.
MONTEZUMA.
Man and not err! what reason can you give?
