Theophilus. But he that will give and offer unto it is accursed of God, and sent to hell fire, as it appeareth by the reprehension that Saint Peter did so rigorously unto Simon the Sorcerer, cursing both him and his money that 1he offered.

Hillarus. I am not abashed, although he were a beggar. For he was very rigorous and cruel unto those that did bring him money. Those that say they are his successors have not done the like: But clean contrary, that is, that he that will be best welcome unto them, 1must not come empty handed. For it is written: Thou shalt not appear before the Lord empty. They have well advised on those places that speak of bringing, for to make them serve for their gain and profit: although that they do understand nothing of them. And therefore they say unto those that do bring any thing unto them: Intra in gaudium Domini tui: Enter into the joy of thy Lord. Centuplum accipies, & vitam aeternam possidebis. Thou shalt receive an hundred times as much, and possess eternal life.
