seem the most unsuitable companions to him: such a man, when he
falleth in the way with persons of simplicity and innocence,
however knowing he may be in the ways of men, will not vaunt
himself thereof; but will the rather hide his superiority to
them, that he may not be painful unto them. My good friend
(continued he, turning to the officer), thee and I are to part by
and by, and peradventure we may never meet again: but be advised
by a plain man: modes and apparel are but trifles to the real
man, therefore do not think such a man as thyself terrible for
thy garb, nor such a one as me contemptible for mine. When two
such as thee and I meet, with affections as we ought to have
towards each other, thou shouldst rejoice to see my peaceable
demeanour, and I should be glad to see thy strength and ability
to protect me in it."
