Status Updates From The Book of Margery Kempe

goodness can everyone please stop arresting poor old margery.

‘Margery, if a man came with a sword and wanted to chop off my head unless I had sexual intercourse with you as I used to before, tell me the truth from your conscience— as you say you won’t lie— whether you’d allow my head to be chopped off, or else allow me to have sex with you as I previously did?'
‘Truthfully I’d rather see you slain than that we should return to our uncleanliness.’
