To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
^^ When those days are over -^ says he — they soon forget the whole, and fall back again into their old vam haUts c^ life. They relax firom the holy discipline they had commenced, and begin once more to pat themselves on a level with this vain world, so that Sie man is scarcely if ever to be firand, who, after having gone through his penance and received the holy sacrament, perseveres in the right way, and wOTthily reforms his life according to the requirements of Chris- tianity." To such outsi...de repentance he applies what Christ says of the evil spirit driven from a man and then returning with seven others still worse than himself. The poor people are thus led to suppose that things forbidden are to be avoided only on fast days, that at these seasons alone penance is necessary to be done, and that it suf- fices, for salvation, to confess one's sins and receive the body and blood of the Lord, without once thinking of his passion, or voluntarily suf- fering widi him. ^But with all this, they hold fast to the freedom of the flesh, conform in all else to this world, love the world and that ^hich is of it the whole day.
