Not illustrated. 1831 edition. Excerpt: ...contra Apostolicos, Hieres. 61. 1 Hieronyh. ad Dematriadem. Augustin. de Bono Viduitatis, c. 10. r Auoustin. ad Januar. Epist. 118, titude of vain ceremonies, wherewith he even then saw men's minds and consciences overcharged.--These men, as though God regarded nothing else but their ceremonies, have so out of measure increased them, that there is now almost none other thing left in their churches, and places of prayer. Again, that old father Augustin w denieth it to be lawful for a monk to spend his time slothfully in idleness; and, under a pretensed and counterfeit holiness, to live all upon others. And whoso thus liveth, the old father Apollonius likeneth him unto a thief.--These men have--I wot not whether to call them droves or herds--of monks, who for all that they do nothing, nor yet once intend to bear any show of holiness, yet live they not only upon others, but also riot lavishly of other folks' labours.J v 'Isti non Deo serviunt, sed suo ventri: ' 'These serve, not God, but their own belly.' (De Opere Monach. c. 12.)--' Non apparet utrum ox pro;iosito servitutis Dei venerint, an vitam inopem et laboriosam fugientes, vacui pasci et vestiri voluerint.' We cannot tell whether they became monks for purpose to serve God, or else being weary of their poor and painful life, were rather desirous to be fed and clothed doing nothing.' (Ibid. c. 22.) The alms obtained, he calls: 'Sumptus lucrosce egestatis, et simulata e pretium sanctitalis: ' 'The charges of g.iinful poverty, and price of feigned holiness.' (Ibid. c. 28.) x Cited by Sochates, in Historia Tripartita, a translated compilation of Socrates, Sozomen, and Theodoret, made by Epiphanius Lib. VIII. c. i. y After quoting several passages from Augustin, Hilary, and Jerome, to show the spirit.
