Hillarius. Such is their doctrine: But notwithstanding when it cometh to trial, they neither have regard to mortal nor yet venial sins, but sooner to the riches or to the poverty. It is all one with them whether the sins be mortal or venial, sanable or insanable, so that the dead hath wherewith to pay their drugs & medicines, & money for his ransom, and letters of grace that they make for them by their bulls and pardons. And as touching the poor, of whom they have no profit, it is to them all one whether they go, be it into Paradise, Hell, or Purgatory. For they have no care of the souls, but only of their purses.
