But the hypocrites clean contrary 1condemn all men for grievous sinners, save them only that buy their holiness of them. And because they will suffer with no man, they get them to silence. And because they will help no man, all that they have (say they) pertaineth to the Convent, and is none of theirs. And if they be offended, they 2will be avenged immediately. And to cloak, that they should not seem to avenge themselves, the matter (say they) pertaineth to God and holy Church, or to some Saint, or to one or other holy thing: as if thou smite one of them on the one cheek, he will turn to thee the other ere he will avenge himself. But the injury of the holy oil wherewith he 3was anointed, that must he avenge, and that with a spiritual punishment, 4that thou must be accursed as black as a Collier, and delivered to Satan. And if thou come not in and ask absolution, and to offer thy self to penance and to paying thereto, they will not suffer till the Devil fetch thee. But will deliver thee to the fire in the mean time. And all for zeal of righteousness (say they.)
