Libels and satires make an impression only upon weak heads ; and you will observe, that the most vicious and spotted characters are always most ready to believe calumny, and shew the greatest reluctance to see those whom they have offended. Prejudice, however, is so common, that many recommendations are wanted to determine a man in office in favour of any person ; but there needs one word only to make him change, or to provoke him. This is the strongest proof of the depravity of...
Página 143 - ... wranglings. If there are some disputes between you and your tenants, settle them more to their advantage than your own ; it is conformable to the advice of Jesus Christ, who orders us, if they ask our cloak, to give our coat also. All your superfluities, and even a part of your necessaries, on urgent occasions, belong to the poor ; so that you will be guilty if you accumulate. These are harsh truths, but the law was not made by me.
Página 251 - Divine mercy which have been entrusted to us, and chiefly those which have their origin in the blood of Christ. We will then open to you all the gates of the rich reservoir of atonement derived from the merits of the Mother of God, the holy Apostles, the blood of the Martyrs, and the good works of all the Saints. " We invite you then to drink of this overflowing stream of Indulgence, to enrich yourselves in the inexhaustible treasures of the Church, according to the custom of our ancestors. Do not...

We will then open to you all the gates of the rich reservoir of atonement, derived from the merits of the Mother of God, the holy Apostles, the blood of the Martyrs, and the good works of all the Saints.

Página 143 - Christ should have worshippers in spirit and in truth, whose hearts are not contracted by a self -interested conduct, and views merely carnal. I am troubled when I see people of fortune living in dread of want, and, though very rich, often much more attached to a dirty piece of gold than a poor labourer would be. I dare ad'd, Sir, that all your works of devotion will be absolutely useless, if you do not detach yourself entirely from the things of this world ; and cease to be the tyrant of your debtors,...
Página 142 - ... THE giving of alms is not sufficient to please God, for charity extends over all ; you should not oppress your tenants, nor molest your vassals : they who with the greatest severity exact trifles, which they ought to despise, have not a proper sense of religion. Christianity is unacquainted with that sordid interest which is attentive to little things ; and they have only the bark who are always upon the watch .with their tenants, for fear of being cheated.

Página 188 - I shall do nothing until I have examined, weighed, and judged, according to the laws of justice and truth. May God forbid that any human consideration should influence my decision ! I have already a sufficiently severe account to render to God, without charging my conscience with the addition of a new crime; and it would be an enormous one, to proscribe a Religious Order, upon rumours and prejudices, or even upon suspicions. I shall not forget, that in rendering to Gcsar the things that are Ctzsar's,...
