SCENE VI.

Martin, Jourdain.

_Mart._ Son, take care of believing any thing against the Church: It is as sinful to believe any thing against the Church, as to disbelieve any thing for it. You are to believe what the Church tells you, and no more.

_Jourd._ I almost shudder when I think what I believed against you. I believed that you had seduced my Daughter.

_Mart._ Oh! horrible! and did you believe it? Think not you believed it. I order you to think you did not believe it, and it were now sinful to believe you did believe it.

_Jourd._ And can I think so.

_Mart._ Certainly. I know what you believe better than you your self do. However, that your Mind may be cleansed from the least Pollution of Thought--go say over ten Bead-Rolls immediately, go and Peace attend you----

_Jourd._ I am exceedingly comforted within.
