Very nice quote, though there's one thing I don't understand:

If he will not go, let two stout monks, in the name of God, explain the matter to him.

Hmm, "stout." That means, like, "able to explain stuff really well," right?

I think it's a spelling mistake and should rather read as "stdout" instead of "stout", and STDOUT monks are shure to explain a lot ;) ---- NaSe :x	[reply]

Personally I think he meant two monks who had had enough to drink that they had the courage to push the offender out. ;-) `stout \Stout\, n. A strong malt liquor; strong porter.
