We have little time to hear texts from the holy fathers." "'Sancta Maria!'" ejaculated Father Ambrose, "how prompt to ire are these unhallowed laymen!--But be it known to you, brave knights, that certain murderous caitiffs, casting behind them fear of God, and reverence of his church, and not regarding the bull of the holy see, 'Si quis, suadende Diabolo'---" "Brother priest," said the Templar, "all this we know or guess at--tell us plainly, is thy master, the Prior, made prisoner, and to whom?"
