William Holcote saith, 1Sacerdotes moderni sunt similes Sacerdotibus Baal: sunt Angeli Apostatici: sunt similes Sacerdotibus Dagon: sunt Sacerdotes Priapi: sunt Angeli Abyssi: The Priests of this time are like the Priests of Baal: They are the Renegate Angels: They are like the Priests of Dagon: They are the Priests of Priapus: They are the Angels of Hell.2 S. Bernard saith, Dicimini Pastores, cùm sitis Raptores. Fratres, Jesus hodiè elegit sibi multos Diabolos Episcopos. Non sunt Pastores, sed Traditores: Ye are called Bishops, but ye are Ravenners. O my Brethren, Jesus at this time hath chosen unto him many Devils to be Bishops: they are not Feeders: they are Traitors.3 Johannes Sarisburiensis said boldly unto Pope Adrian the fourth, Ideò mea opinion Papae frequentiùs moriuntur, ne totam corrumpant Ecclesiam: Therefore in my judgement the Popes die the oftener, lest (if they should continue long) they should infect the whole Church.
