If they are unwilling toconsider us as such, let them subject us to their dominion if they can. And as we have hitherto done, we shall contend more fiercely for libertythan for life. " With this, the... tired monk was dismissed to sleep off the effects of hisjourney and of the protracted discussion, being warmly recommended to thecaptain of the citadel, by whom he was treated with every possibleconsideration.
