Paul's answer before Agrippa, which Neville takes as the whole of a man's duty once the vision has been given. He states the cost in the first person and without softening it: if you took me before any person in this world who had the power to hurt, and to be cruel in the hurting, I would still have to be faithful to the vision - he could take me apart, and I would still have to remain faithful to it, even in time of trouble, even in time of the hurt. The name is then read as part of the argument: Agrippa means a wild horse tamer, and in scripture the mind is symbolised as a horse - so the vision is defended before a wild mind, and the charge brought against it is exactly the one such a mind would bring. Festus supplies it: you are mad, Paul, your great learning is turning you mad. And Paul's reply is the model Neville uses for his own position on a platform - I am not mad; I am speaking the sober truth. The motif therefore joins two things he usually keeps apart: the private obligation to a vision nobody else has seen, and the public charge of insanity that follows from saying so. Coined at the attach lane's request (PM 6049/6052) from the passage that carries the reading rather than the citation.
