¶ S. Gregory in Ezech. Home. 10 lib. 1.
For often times we see certain, as it were stricken with remorse by the 1voice of the preacher, to have changed their habit, and not their mind: so that they would take unto them a religions garment, but they would not tread under foot their former vices, but were stirred outrageously with the pricks of anger, or waxing hot with grief of their neighbours, become proud with certain good gifts showed in the sight of men, gape after the gain of this present world and have only a confidence of holiness on their outward habit, which they have taken. For it is of no matter of any merit, to regard what is outwardly done in our body, but we must be very careful what is done in our mind.
