2103.  As for ourselves (for neither are we free from this fault) the same
      guilt, the same crime, may be objected against us:  for it is through
      our fault, negligence, and avarice, that so many and such shameful
      corruptions occur in the church (both the temple and the Deity are
      offered for sale), that such sordidness is introduced, such impiety
      committed, such wickedness, such a mad gulf of wretchedness and
      irregularity—­these I say arise from all our faults, but more
