O ye pollutions, ye hypocrites, ye teachers,
who sell yourselves for that which will canker,
why have ye polluted the holy church of God?
Why are ye ashamed to take upon you the name of Christ?
Why do ye not think that greater is the value
of an endless happiness than that misery which never dies
because of the praise of the world?
Why do ye adorn yourselves with that which hath no life,
and yet suffer the hungry, and the needy, and the naked,
and the sick and the afflicted to pass by you,
and notice them not?
Yea, why do ye build up your secret abominations to get gain,
and cause that widows should mourn before the Lord,
and also orphans to mourn before the Lord,
and also the blood of their fathers and their husbands
to cry unto the Lord from the ground,
for vengeance upon your heads?
