(1877) ’ That is you may either win your peace , or buy it : - win it , by resistance to evil ; buy it , by compromise with evil .You may buy your peace , with silenced consciences ; you may buy it , with broken vows , buy it , with lying words , buy it , with base counivances , buy it , with the blood of the slain , and the cry of the captive , and the silence of lost souls - over hemispheres of the earth , while you sit smiling at your serene hearths , lisping comfortable prayers evening and morning , and counting your pretty Protestant beads ( which are flat , and of gold , instead of round , and of ebony , as the monks ' ones were ) , and so mutter continually to yourselves .‘ Peace , peace , ’ when there is No peace , but only captivity and death , for you , as will as for those you leave unsaved ; - and yours darker than theirs .
