You cannot,
I suppose, have a proud and chivalrous spirit, if your conduct is mean and
paltry; for whatever a man's actions are, such must be his spirit. By our Lady,
I should not wonder if I got rougher treatment from you for pointing out these
faults than the men who are responsible for them. For you do not allow liberty
of speech on every subject, and indeed I am surprised that you have allowed it
now.
