III. What will ye? Shall I be judged by you,
or shall I be your judge? Shall I pass a verdict, or receive one,
for I hope to be acquitted if I be judged, and if I give sentence, to
give it against you justly? The charge against you is that you do
not answer my love with equal measure, nor do you repay my obedience
with honour, nor do you pledge the future to me by your present
alacrity—though even if you had, I could hardly have believed
it. But each of you has something which he prefers to both the
old and the new Pastor, neither reverencing the grey hairs of the one,
nor calling out the youthful spirit of the other.
