COUSIN. No, by our Lady; I have the cramp in my toe. Trust not to me, for, so God me speed, I will deceive you in your most need, Kindred. What does this passage imply about Cousin? He really wants to help Everyman, but he is too injured. He does not believe he is honest enough to go with Everyman. He is making excuses to avoid accompanying Everyman. He is a very devout man and would help Everyman if he could.

The answer is: He is making excuses to avoid accompanying Everyman.

In the passage from "Everyman," Cousin uses his toe as a pretext not to escort Everyman on his journey because he does not want to die. The reason is Everyman has made a pact with Death, in which he must find a companion for his journey to the end of their lives.
