He was an easy man to mete out Penance when a good gift he expected to receive. Forsooth, to donate generously unto a poor Order is a sign that a man is well shriven. For if a man gave, the Friar dared to assert, he knew that the man was repentant. So hard is the heart of many a man that he cannot weep, though he may sorely suffer for his sins. Therefore, in the stead of weeping and praying, men must give silver to the poor Friars.

Verguenza ha de tener el gobernante que no tenga piedad, si actua y habla como un leon a los que estan arrepentidos y temerosos, del mismo modo que a los poderosos y altaneros que persisten en sus propositos. Un principe tiene escaso discernimiento si no sabe distinguir en casos asi y pasa al orgullo por el mismo rasero que a la humildad.>>
