Explanation

In Act 3, Scene 1 of Twelfth Night, Viola (disguised as Cesario) is speaking to Feste, the clown. Viola's dialogue here involves asking Feste whether he makes a living through his labour or by some other means. Feste's witty response about living "by the church" is part of the playful exchange between the characters.
