Yea I say, it was expedient for Thad that he go away; for if he went not away, his skinny hide was in jeopardy, and many woes would have been his portion.
But lo, he hath not left us nor forsaken us; and lo, he is with us always, even unto the posting of many saintly posts and much speaking.
But this I would admonish you to remember: can the leopard change his spots, or the Ethiopian his skin? Woe unto him that thinketh Thad's repentance was more than skin deep, for whosoever thinketh that doth greatly err. Yea.
