"...I have never heard so many calls for pentience as today, in a period when, by now, neither preachers nor bishops...are any longer capable of inspiring true repentance."
"...but it seems typical of the scant virtue of the people to abstain from sin out of their fear of some idol, though they may give it the name of some saint {virtue}...they no longer believe in the resurrection of the flesh, but have only a great fear of bodily injuries and misfortunes and therefore are more afraid of Saint Anthony than of Christ."
