“Thou be’st thyself more like a thief and a heretic,” said the Friar, equally indignant; “I will pouch up no such affront before my parishioners, as thou thinkest it not shame to put upon me, although I be a reverend brother to thee. Ossa ejus perfringam , I will break your bones, as the Vulgate hath it.”

“Hola!” cried the Captain, “come the reverend brethren to such terms?⁠—Keep thine assurance of peace, Friar.⁠—Prior, an thou hast not made thy peace perfect with God, provoke the Friar no further.⁠—Hermit, let the reverend father depart in peace, as a ransomed man.”
