often Of ephemeral things and he did not pretend

There had been time when the self-abnega-
tion OF the mendicant frars seemed In a way to
correct all this, TO restrain the avarice OF the
secular clergy, and clear out the abuses OF the
Papal Courts. But the friars had themselves be-
come the most useful instruments Of the Roman
See and the Roman See was mpersonated by
Alexander VI or julius III. ITO quarrel with a
friar was to quarrel with an order which never
died and never forgave." Punshments for heresy

most irreproa enable conduct. could be given the
color OF heresy on occasion. The very perfection
OF this machine for increasing the immunities OF
the clergy and adding to the burdens Of the aity
was what destroyed 1t. When things got to the
pass that Church law obstructed the growing
feeling OF nationality everywhere. then the
