"Heretical Rabbi!"
WILLIAM SHAKSPEARE.
"IF TWO OF A TRADE CAN NEVER AGREE, yet surely two of a name may."
SIR SILAS.
"Who dares call me heretical? who dares call me rabbi? who dares
call me Scotus? Spider! spider! yea, thou hast one corner left; I
espy thee, and my broom shall reach thee yet."
WILLIAM SHAKSPEARE.
"I perceive that Master Silas doth verily believe I have been guilty
of suborning the witnesses, at least the last, the best man (if any
difference) of the two. No, sir, no. If my family and friends have
united their wits and money for this purpose, be the crime of
perverted justice on their heads! They injure whom they intended to
serve. Improvident men!--if the young may speak thus of the
elderly; could they imagine to themselves that your worship was to
be hoodwinked and led astray?"
SIR THOMAS.
"No man shall ever dare to hoodwink me, to lead me astray,--no, nor
lead me anywise. Powerful defence! Heyday! Sit quiet, Master
Treen!--Euseby Treen! dost hear me? Clench thy fist again, sirrah!
and I clap thee in the stocks.
"Joseph Carnaby! do not scratch thy breast nor thy pate before me."
Now Joseph had not only done that in his wrath, but had unbuckled
his leathern garter, fit instrument for strife and blood, and
peradventure would have smitten, had not the knight, with
magisterial authority, interposed.
