But that is always the way; the love 01 besting our dearest friends in a bargain is native to us : and so, even in religion, when we are dealing with our own souls, we try to cheat. I go out to cut an almond rod at midnight, and, finding it inconvenient, I "magically affirm” that ash is almond and that seven o’clock is twelve.
