Pack of cards - Prayer Book - and Bible
A private soldier named Richard Lee was taken before a Magistrate for playing cards during service. It appears a sergeant commanded the Soldier at church, and when the parson had read the prayers he took the text. Those who had a bible took it out but this soldier had neither bible nor common prayer book but pulling out a pack of cards he spread them before him.
He just looked at one card and then at another. The sergeant of the company sees this and tells him; "Richard, put up the cards, this is no place for them."
"Never mind that;" said Richard.
When the service was over the constable took Richard before the mayor.
"Well;" says the mayor. "What have you brought the soldier here for?"
"For playing cards in church."
"Well soldier, what have you to say for yourself?"
"Much sir I hope."
"Very good, if not I will punish you more than man was ever punished."
"I have been;" said the soldier, "about six weeks on the march. I have neither bible nor common prayer book. I have nothing but a pack of cards."
