I have already related to you great and admirable things; but, if you might be induced to adventure upon the hazard of believing some other divinity of this sacred Pantagruelion, I very willingly would tell it you.

It shall be sufficient for my purpose to have told you the truth, and the truth I will tell you.

Chapter 52 : How a certain kind of Pantagruelion is of that nature that the fire is not able to consume it - Gargantua and Pantagruel (1532 - 1564) - Third Book (1546)
