WILLIAM ROPER: So, now you give the Devil the benefit of law!<\/p>\n
SIR THOMAS MORE: Yes! What would you do? Cut a great road through the law to get after the Devil?<\/p>\n
ROPER: I\u2019d cut down every law in England to do that!<\/p>\n
MORE: Oh? And when the last law was down, and the Devil turned \u2019round on you, where would you hide, Roper, the laws all being flat? This country is planted thick with laws, from coast to coast, Man\u2019s laws, not God\u2019s! And if you cut them down, and you\u2019re just the man to do it, do you really think you could stand upright in the winds that would blow then? Yes, I\u2019d give the Devil benefit of law, for my own safety\u2019s sake!<\/p>\n
