A friar once asked counsel of Brother Giles, saying, "Father, I am assailed often by an evil temptation, and I have many times besought the Lord to deliver me from it, yet he takes it not from me; counsel me, father; what ought I to do?" To whom Brother Giles made the reply following: "My brother, when a king arrays one of his knights in strong armor of proof, it is a token that he requires him to fight valiantly against his enemies for love of him."
