30. God has his champions left in the worst times, and they will stand up
when the time comes for them to come forth to battle. His righteous indignation
moved him to a quick execution of two open offenders. His honest spirit could
not endure that lewdness should be publicly practiced at a time when a fast had
been proclaimed. Such daring defiance of God and of all law he could not brook,
and so with his sharp javelin he transfixed the two guilty ones in the very
act. It was a holy passion which inflamed him, and no enmity to either of the
persons whom he slew.
