G.R. Woodward, H. Mattingly, 1914, p. 50,1

Jacobus Billius Prunaeus, 1577 A.D., Migne no. 73, col. 457a1-457b1

G.R. Woodward, H. Mattingly, 1914

Han formodede, at det dog altid maatte være i en god Hensigt; men han vovede dog ikke at spörge sin Fader om denne Sag; thi han formodede, at der vare nogle saadanne Omstændigheder forbundne dermed, som det ikke passede sig for ham at spörge om; og om han end spurgte, saa tyldes han at vide, at hans Fader ikke vilde sige ham Sandheden.
