    To the first I answered, I had been a true man for a long season, and therefore it could not be expected that I should now cast in my lot with thieves.

So I told them that the place from whence I came, had I not found incommodity there, I had not forsaken it at all; but finding it altogether unsuitable to me, and very unprofitable for me, I forsook it for this way.

    1684, John Bunyan, The Pilgrim's Progress, Part II
