the truth in' order to throw a true light upon ! in

am now seeing and sneaking to you. for the ?

men, we require actions and not mere-words; Bj
repentance should come from the heart. I ha
speak to you without anger, and you must Y
perceive I am perfectly calm; I have ho I sh
rancor, and I will do you good even in spite or
of yourselves. The Marshall who stands
before you fulfils my intentions; seconds all CI
my views, and also watches for your wel- ec
