Franciscan Monastery"In the end, however, there arose among us some who were not of us, certain children of Belial, speaking vain things, doing evil things, saying they were poor when they were not; and me, whom the noblest men loved with all their heart - about whom I have already spoken - they spurned and defiled, following the way of Balaam, the son of Bosor, who loved the wages of wrongdoing, men corrupt in mind and bereft of truth, supposing godliness to be gains, men who, clothing themselves with the habit of religion, did not put on the new man, but merely covered over the old."
