"<p></p> <p>When you stand face to face with the powerful, always think about who gave these people their power? And what can they do against you? Can they take your goods, your freedom, or your life? And then what? A tiny microbe, a contagious bacterium, can take your life, as fragile and ephemeral as the life of an insect. Nay, even the mightiest lord has no real power over your soul and is therefore powerless if you are just and he is unjust. He can do nothing against thee but find thee in sin, and he is just. Think not, therefore, what you will say to the great lord, how you will behave; think only that you are free as long as you are righteous, and the great lord is powerless against your righteousness.</p>"
