For summw seyd it was a wikkyd spiryt vexid hir; sum seyd it was a sekeness; sum seyd sche had dronkyn to mech wyn; sum bannyd hir; sum wisshed sche had ben in pe hauyn; sum wolde sche had ben in pe bottomless boyt; and so ich man as hym thowte. (69) She was very aware of the various reactions to her crying — reactions mirrored by today's critics — even though if they took the Scripture and Bernard's explication into account, they might see through the tears the dronkyn label as reminiscent of ...the Song 's bride. But visiting monks of her day were less indulgent than the clergy. When the Order of Grey Friars sent a particularly famed preaching monk to Lynn, Margery's problems increased. He told her to leave the church. When the priests prevailed on him to let her stay, he preached against her as if she were a hypocrite with a need for attention. His preaching turned the confused congregation against her and even affected her own confessor's judgment of her. But the monk's crowning achievement was in causing her to be removed from the church during public mass, allowing her only to attend the private masses.
