To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
85 4 bad monk, on the other hand — and would to God f there were more of such monks — is he, who not being wholly dead to all sense of religion, wishes to act con- scientiously toward God and 'toward his fellow men, leaving to others the office of benefiting the order ; espe- cially when that cannot be done without trampling under foot the duties he owes to God and to society. He con- siders his obligations to the latter of far greater moment than those he is under to his order, and therefore e...ndea- vours to fulfil them, though at the same time he is injur- ing the interests of the former; for the particular interest of his order seldom or .never can be promoted but at the expense and subversion of society and of religion. Who then would hesitate tp choose between serving God, by executing His commands, relative to the duties due to where they will find recorded the diabolical, enthusiastic frenzy of the Franciscans of the fourteenth century, who impiously maintained that the founder of their order was a second Christ, in ail respects similar to the first ,• and that their institutions and discipline were the true gospel of Jesus.
