    Once upon a time a woman lived, who did not attend her duty. One day the minister came to see her, He asked her why she did not attend her duty as she should, "Dont you know Our Lord died for you." "Our John does not be out at all and we never heard he died," She replied.
    My good woman said the minister "you are in the dark altogether." "aye but if you had seen us before we got in the back window."
