Zeal will do more than knowledge.

Zealous men are ever displaying to you the strength of their belief, while judicious men are showing you the grounds of it.

Had I but served my God with half the zeal I served my King, He would not in mine age Have left me naked to mine enemies.

All zeal for a reform, that gives offenceTo peace and charity, is mere pretence.

Had I but served my God with half the zeal I served my king, he would not in mine age - Have left me naked to mine enemies

But zeal moved thee; To please thy gods thou didst it!
