Being criticised as a "Dumb Devil" when be re- | fused to be led into speech, and they saying he was simple and ignorant, beguiled and led by others ; more subtle, he answered : " If you think I ain simply beguiled and not willfully in error bow have; you showed kindness to me or where has your love appeared to help me out of the ignorance and t delusion you suppose I have fallen into " - " Do you think your prison whip and base usage are : the way to do it ! Is that the way to begin with to restore any one from the error of his ways. Then some one cried ont 'he is more knave than fool.'
