CHAPTER XXXI
19/25

Do you think that those who do not see as you do are wicked because they were not given what you were given?
If you are right, may they, poor folk! not be the victims of their blindness of heart--of the darkness born with them, or of the evils that overtake them?
For conscience sake, you would crush out evil.

To you an infidel--so called--is an evil-doer, a peril to the peace of God.
You drive him out from among the faithful.

You heard that a tailor of Chaudiere was an infidel.

You did not prove him one, but you, for conscience sake, are trying to remove him, by fixing on him a crime of which he may, with slight show of reason, be suspected.

But I ask you, would you have taken the same deep interest in setting the law upon this suspected man did you not believe him to be an infidel ?" He paused.
