One who came to Scoggin to be confessed, told him that he had stolen an halter; Well, said Scoggin, to steal an halter is no great matter; But, said the fellow, there was an horse tied at the end of it. I marrie, quoth Scoggin, there is somthing in that? there is difference between an horse and an halter; You must therefore restore the owner the
horse, and when you have don that, come to me; and I'll absolve you for the halter.
