I think you are an English gentleman ?' I pleaded guilty to the charge, and he asked leave to walk beside me until past a certain village, not far distant, of which the people, he assured me, were extremely wicked and averse to Christians.

I readily consented, and he took his staff and walked beside me, pouring out his soul in fulsome flattery.
The village which he dreaded to approach alone was the abode of Muslims, devilish people who hate the righteous Christians and persecute them when they get the chance.

He said that he looked forward to the day when the English would take over the whole country and put those evil-doers in their proper place, below the Christians.
It would be a mercy and a blessing to the human race, he gave as his mature opinion, if the English were to conquer the whole world.

They were so good and upright and so truly pious.

He did not think that any wrong was ever done in England.
