Chapter 81 Chapter Twenty

How Domaste recognized the ability and knowledge of Banurge At this moment Domaste arose, took his hat off his head, thanked Panurge politely; and then said aloud to all present: "Gentlemen, I may now quote a verse from the Bible: Et ecce plus quamSalomon hic. You have before you an incomparable treasure, the name of Monsieur Paguguet, whose fame has driven me from the far corners of England. Introduced here to debate with him some unsolvable problems in my mind, about illusion, about alchemy, about enlightenment, divination, star observation and philosophy. But now, I think This reputation is far from enough, it is simply a kind of disrespect to him, because compared with the actual situation, it is less than one-thousandth of it.

"As you can see, he alone satisfied me so much; he taught me more than I had to ask; set me some other, more complicated problems, and solved them at the same time. I can therefore declare to you that he opened to me the real fountain and treasure-house of human knowledge, which I thought to be inferior to a man who possessed only the most elementary knowledge, which we do not even say a word It has been proved that this is not the case when we only use hand gestures to argue. I want to record in writing what we just discussed and resolved. Don’t let others think that we are deceiving people here. I want to put it Print it out so that everyone may know how I do it; and by the shrewdness of his pupils, you may judge the master's abilities, for Non estdiscipulus super magistrum.

Paiguguay also expressed his gratitude to those who came to participate, and then he took Domaste to dinner.

Our Lady!How they drank, and the bottles were passed around, and they kept shouting: "Pour!"

"Fall!" "Servant, bring the wine!" "Fill it up, hell, you fill it up." No one doesn't drink his twenty-five to thirty "muyi", do you know what's going on? Sicut terra sine aqua⑤, because the weather is very hot, it increases their thirst. As for how to make public the questions that Domaster raised, and what the gestures meant when they debated, I would like to tell you as they themselves said, but I was told that Domaster had already written a This is a great book, and it was printed in London. In the book, nothing was omitted, and everything was said.So for the time being I will leave it at that.

Luke Gospel" Chapter 6, Section 40, and "New Testament? Matthew" Chapter 10, Section 24. ② At that time, the clothes were tightly tied to the body, and the buttons had to be unbuttoned when drinking. ③ There is also a sentence here on the first edition: "Like the followers of All Souls' Day". ④ It means that you are so drunk that even the friends who drink together don't know where they came from.

⑤ Latin: "Like a dry land hoping for rain", see Psalm 143, verse 6.
