"Fair nephew, in the time of your knighthood have you much advanced the

Law of the Saviour, for you have destroyed the falsest believe in the

world, and this was of them that believed on the bull of copper and the

devil that was therein. If this folk had remained, and had failed of

you, never would it have been destroyed until the end of the world.

Wherefore marvel not that you have travail in serving God, but endure

it willingly, for never had worshipful man honour without pains. But

now behoveth you achieve another matter. All they of the land of King

Fisherman your uncle have abandoned the New Law, and returned to that

which God hath forbidden. But the most part do so rather perforce and

for fear of the King that hath seized the land, who is my brother and

your uncle, than on account of aught else. Wherefore behoveth you set

counsel therein, for this thing may not be achieved by any earthly man

save by you only. For the castle and land should be yours of right,

and sore mischief is it when one that cometh of lineage so high and so

holy is traitor to God, and disloyal to the world.
