PRUD. Do you not find sometimes, as if those things were vanquished, which at other times are your perplexity? Christian's golden hours CHR. Yes, but that is seldom; but they are to me golden hours in which such things happen to me. PRUD. Can you remember by what means you find your annoyances, at times, as if they were vanquished? CHR. Yes, when I think what I saw at the cross, that will do it; and when I look upon my broidered coat, that will do it; also when I look into the roll that I carry in my bosom, that will do it; and when my thoughts wax warm about whither I am going, that will do it.
