"What else can holy men do when the world absolutely refuses to mend its ways?
This is the perpetual characteristic of the true church: it not only experiences suffering and is dishonored and held in contempt, but it also prays for those who afflict it and is gravely concerned about their perils. In contrast, the closer the ungodly are to their condemnation, the greater is the smugness with which they indulge in amusements and pleasures."
