1554 - DEFER

The bishop REached for his miter and picked up his 12" ruler! His assistant pointed out the problem and the bishop laughed and picked up his sceptre instead. "Not that way", my Lord, said his assistant, "that's where the messianic folk are celebrating their seder". "That's sheer nonsense", scoffed the bishop, "why don't they just stick to the regular church services." "Actually", my Lord, said his assistant, "I think you'll find that it was the seder that came first and that it was Jesus who celebrated it with his disciples." "And who are you to lecture me on these things - you're just my assistant.", retorted the bishop, building up to an ender to the conversation, "From now on I want no impertinent comments - just defer to me as your superior."
