"
And
truly
have
they
termed
him
,
"
said
Nathan
the
physician
.
"
Other
Templars
may
be
moved
from
the
purpose
of
their
heart
by
pleasure
,
or
bribed
by
promise
of
gold
and
silver
;
but
Beaumanoir
is
of
a
different
stamp
--
hating
sensuality
,
despising
treasure
,
and
pressing
forward
to
that
which
they
call
the
crown
of
martyrdom
--
The
God
of
Jacob
speedily
send
it
unto
him
,
and
unto
them
all
!
Specially
hath
this
proud
man
extended
his
glove
over
the
children
of
Judah
,
as
holy
David
over
Edom
,
holding
the
murder
of
a
Jew
to
be
an
offering
of
as
sweet
savour
as
the
death
of
a
Saracen
.
Impious
and
false
things
has
he
said
even
of
the
virtues
of
our
medicines
,
as
if
they
were
the
devices
of
Satan
--
The
Lord
rebuke
him
!
"
"
Nevertheless
,
"
said
Isaac
,
"
I
must
present
myself
at
Templestowe
,
though
he
hath
made
his
face
like
unto
a
fiery
furnace
seven
times
heated
.
"
He
then
explained
to
Nathan
the
pressing
cause
of
his
journey
.
The
Rabbi
listened
with
interest
,
and
testified
his
sympathy
after
the
fashion
of
his
people
,
rending
his
clothes
,
and
saying
,
"
Ah
,
my
daughter
!
--
ah
,
my
daughter
!
--
Alas
!
for
the
beauty
of
Zion
!
--
Alas
!
for
the
captivity
of
Israel
!
"
"
Thou
seest
,
"
said
Isaac
,
"
how
it
stands
with
me
,
and
that
I
may
not
tarry
.
Peradventure
,
the
presence
of
this
Lucas
Beaumanoir
,
being
the
chief
man
over
them
,
may
turn
Brian
de
Bois-Guilbert
from
the
ill
which
he
doth
meditate
,
and
that
he
may
deliver
to
me
my
beloved
daughter
Rebecca
.
"
"
Go
thou
,
"
said
Nathan
Ben
Israel
,
"
and
be
wise
,
for
wisdom
availed
Daniel
in
the
den
of
lions
into
which
he
was
cast
;
and
may
it
go
well
with
thee
,
even
as
thine
heart
wisheth
.
Yet
,
if
thou
canst
,
keep
thee
from
the
presence
of
the
Grand
Master
,
for
to
do
foul
scorn
to
our
people
is
his
morning
and
evening
delight
.
It
may
be
if
thou
couldst
speak
with
Bois-Guilbert
in
private
,
thou
shalt
the
better
prevail
with
him
;
for
men
say
that
these
accursed
Nazarenes
are
not
of
one
mind
in
the
Preceptory
--
May
their
counsels
be
confounded
and
brought
to
shame
!
But
do
thou
,
brother
,
return
to
me
as
if
it
were
to
the
house
of
thy
father
,
and
bring
me
word
how
it
has
sped
with
thee
;
and
well
do
I
hope
thou
wilt
bring
with
thee
Rebecca
,
even
the
scholar
of
the
wise
Miriam
,
whose
cures
the
Gentiles
slandered
as
if
they
had
been
wrought
by
necromancy
.
"
Isaac
accordingly
bade
his
friend
farewell
,
and
about
an
hour
's
riding
brought
him
before
the
Preceptory
of
Templestowe
.
This
establishment
of
the
Templars
was
seated
amidst
fair
meadows
and
pastures
,
which
the
devotion
of
the
former
Preceptor
had
bestowed
upon
their
Order
.
It
was
strong
and
well
fortified
,
a
point
never
neglected
by
these
knights
,
and
which
the
disordered
state
of
England
rendered
peculiarly
necessary
.
Two
halberdiers
,
clad
in
black
,
guarded
the
drawbridge
,
and
others
,
in
the
same
sad
livery
,
glided
to
and
fro
upon
the
walls
with
a
funereal
pace
,
resembling
spectres
more
than
soldiers
.
The
inferior
officers
of
the
Order
were
thus
dressed
,
ever
since
their
use
of
white
garments
,
similar
to
those
of
the
knights
and
esquires
,
had
given
rise
to
a
combination
of
certain
false
brethren
in
the
mountains
of
Palestine
,
terming
themselves
Templars
,
and
bringing
great
dishonour
on
the
Order
.
A
knight
was
now
and
then
seen
to
cross
the
court
in
his
long
white
cloak
,
his
head
depressed
on
his
breast
,
and
his
arms
folded
.
They
passed
each
other
,
if
they
chanced
to
meet
,
with
a
slow
,
solemn
,
and
mute
greeting
;
for
such
was
the
rule
of
their
Order
,
quoting
thereupon
the
holy
texts
,
"
In
many
words
thou
shalt
not
avoid
sin
,
"
and
"
Life
and
death
are
in
the
power
of
the
tongue
.
"
In
a
word
,
the
stern
ascetic
rigour
of
the
Temple
discipline
,
which
had
been
so
long
exchanged
for
prodigal
and
licentious
indulgence
,
seemed
at
once
to
have
revived
at
Templestowe
under
the
severe
eye
of
Lucas
Beaumanoir
.
Isaac
paused
at
the
gate
,
to
consider
how
he
might
seek
entrance
in
the
manner
most
likely
to
bespeak
favour
;
for
he
was
well
aware
,
that
to
his
unhappy
race
the
reviving
fanaticism
of
the
Order
was
not
less
dangerous
than
their
unprincipled
licentiousness
;
and
that
his
religion
would
be
the
object
of
hate
and
persecution
in
the
one
case
,
as
his
wealth
would
have
exposed
him
in
the
other
to
the
extortions
of
unrelenting
oppression
.
