Preacher monologue (Act 5) — The Saint's Tragedy

Therefore, as said before--in the next place--It is written, that there shall be a two-edged sword in the hand of the saints. But the saints have but two swords--Was there a sword or shield found among ten thousand in Israel? Then let Israel use his fists, say I, the preacher! For this man hath shed blood, and by man shall his blood be shed. Now behold an argument,--This man hath shed blood, even Conrad; ergo, as he saith himself, ye, if ye are men, shall shed his blood. Doth he not himself say ergo? Hath he not said ergo to the poor saints, to your sons and your daughters, whom he hath burned in the fire to Moloch? 'Ergo, thou art a heretic'--'Ergo, thou shalt burn.' Is he not therefore convicted out of his own mouth? Arise, therefore, be valiant--for this day he is delivered into your hand!
