FRANCE, LESS FAVOURED ON THE WHOLE AS TO MATTERS SPIRITUAL THAN HER
SISTER OF THE SHIELD AND TRIDENT, ROLLED WITH EXCEEDING SMOOTHNESS DOWN
HILL, MAKING PAPER MONEY AND SPENDING IT. UNDER THE GUIDANCE OF HER
CHRISTIAN PASTORS, SHE ENTERTAINED HERSELF, BESIDES, WITH SUCH HUMANE
ACHIEVEMENTS AS SENTENCING A YOUTH TO HAVE HIS HANDS CUT OFF, HIS TONGUE
TORN OUT WITH PINCERS, AND HIS BODY BURNED ALIVE, BECAUSE HE HAD NOT
KNEELED DOWN IN THE RAIN TO DO HONOUR TO A DIRTY PROCESSION OF MONKS
WHICH PASSED WITHIN HIS VIEW, AT A DISTANCE OF SOME FIFTY OR SIXTY
YARDS. IT IS LIKELY ENOUGH THAT, ROOTED IN THE WOODS OF FRANCE AND

SHELTERED FROM THE WEATHER THAT VERY DAY, RUDE CARTS, BESPATTERED WITH
RUSTIC MIRE, SNUFFED ABOUT BY PIGS, AND ROOSTED IN BY POULTRY, WHICH

UNCEASINGLY, WORK SILENTLY, AND NO ONE HEARD THEM AS THEY WENT ABOUT
WITH MUFFLED TREAD: THE RATHER, FORASMUCH AS TO ENTERTAIN ANY SUSPICION
THAT THEY WERE AWAKE, WAS TO BE ATHEISTICAL AND TRAITOROUS.

IN ENGLAND, THERE WAS SCARCELY AN AMOUNT OF ORDER AND PROTECTION TO
JUSTIFY MUCH NATIONAL BOASTING. DARING BURGLARIES BY ARMED MEN, AND
HIGHWAY ROBBERIES, TOOK PLACE IN THE CAPITAL ITSELF EVERY NIGHT;
FAMILIES WERE PUBLICLY CAUTIONED NOT TO GO OUT OF TOWN WITHOUT REMOVING
THEIR FURNITURE TO UPHOLSTERERS' WAREHOUSES FOR SECURITY; THE HIGHWAYMAN
IN THE DARK WAS A CITY TRADESMAN IN THE LIGHT, AND, BEING RECOGNISED AND
