Theophilus. It should seem to those that hear them read upon their books, ye they have great pity & compassion of those captive souls, sith that they had rather delay the honour that they would do unto the saints, & their office, then the same of the dead, & the solace & comfort that they would give unto them. But the practise of their doctrine and experience declareth unto us the contrary. For he that will not give them ready money in their hands without all question, those poor souls should never have any help of them, or at the least it shall be but little, and they shall tarry their leisure. And so by that means the poor shall be always miserable, and cannot enter into Paradise for want of money, if there be such avarice in Paradise as is among them.

But ye practise of their doctrine and experience declareth vnto vs the contrary. For hée that will not giue them readye money in theire handes without all question, those poore soules should neuer haue any helpe of them, or at the least it shalbe but lyttle, and they shall tarry their leasure. And so by that meanes the poore shalbe alwayes miserable, and cannot enter into Paradise for want of money, if there be such auarice in Paradise as is among them.
