Albertus Magnus saith, 1Illi, qui modo' praesunt in Ecclesijs, plurimùm sunt Fures, & Latrones: plùs Exactors, quàm Pastores: plùs Spoliatores, quàm Tutors: plùs Mactatores, quàm Custodes: plùs Peruersores, quàm Doctores: plùs Seductores, quàm Ductores. Isti sunt Nuntij Antichristi, Subuersores Oviū Christi: They that now govern the Church, for the most part, be Thieves, and Murderers: more Catches, then Feeders: more Spoilers, then Defenders: more Killers, then Keepers: more Deceivers, then Doctors: more Beguilers, then Cuiders, These be the vauntcurrers of Antichrist, the Subverters of the Sheep of Christ.
