To be the plainest Proof in Christ's Esteem”

Of brotherly Compassion shown, or not.

“But, I can promise that there will be no mercy for any member found guilty of misconduct”

Angelo Mathews (1987) Sri Lankan cricketer

Quoted on Stuff.co.nz (January 14, 2016), "Angelo Mathews promises 'no mercy' to Sri Lanka cricketers guilty of misconduct" http://www.stuff.co.nz/sport/cricket/75876639/Angelo-Mathews-promises-no-mercy-to-Sri-Lanka-cricketers-guilty-of-misconduct
Context: I can't deny or accept that these things happened. But, I can promise that there will be no mercy for any member found guilty of misconduct. As players, we don't play to lose and you get hurt when spectators say things like this. Fans are also hurt when we lose and you have to look at it from both ways. I am not admitting or denying anything. But I have been asked to submit a report which I will do during the next few days.
