Quote by Sinclair B. Ferguson
“Lorenzo [de’ Medici] sent him [Savonarola] personal gifts and financial help for the monastery, which merely stimulated Savonarola to respond from the pulpit that a faithful dog does not stop barking in his“master’s defense simply because someone throws a bone to him. From the same pulpit, indifferent to threats of banishment, he urged some of Lorenzo’s friends: “Bid him to do penance for his sins, for the Lord is not a respecter of persons. He does not spare the princes of the world!”
