You take a precipice for no leap of danger,
And woo your own destruction.
CRANMER.

Protect mine innocence, or I fall into
The trap is laid for me.

The best part about seminary is having friends who think it is a good idea to make custom, niche shirts like this and surprise our Anglican history prof by wearing them to dinner at her house to celebrate the end of the semester.
