Chichewa: Upon reaching the castle whither Gregory had withdrawn, he was conducted, without his guards, into an outer court, and there, in the severe cold of winter, with uncovered head and nakedfeet, and in a miserable dress, he awaited the pope’s permission to come

English: Zaka mazana akupita patsogolo zinawona kuwonjezeka kosalekeza kwa zolakwika mu ziphunzitso zoperekedwa kuchokera ku Roma
Chichewa: The advancing centuries witnessed a constant increase of error in the doctrines put forth from Rome.
English: Ngakhale upapa usanakhazikitsidwe, ziphunzitso za anthanthi achikunja zinali ndi chisonkhezero chachikulu m’tchalitchi
Chichewa: Even before the establishment of the papacy the teachings of heathen philosophers had received attention and exerted an influence in the church
English: Ambiri amene ankadzinenera kutembenuka anamamatirabe ku ziphunzitso za nzeru zawo zachikunja, ndipo sanangopitiriza kuphunzira iwo eni okha, komanso anaulimbikitsa kwa ena monga njira yofutukula chikoka chawo pakati pa achikunja

English: Kuchokera mu izi kunabukanso chiphunzitso champatuko cha chizunzo chamuyaya kwa osalapa pomalizira pake, chimene chinaloŵetsedwa m’chikhulupiriro chaupapa poyambirira

Chichewa: This was supplied by the doctrine of indulgences. Full remission of sins, past, present, and future, and release from all the pains and penalties incurred, were promised to all who would enlist in the pontiff’s wars to extend his temporal dominion, to punish his enemies, or to exterminate those who dared deny his spiritual supremacy.
English: Anthuwo anaphunzitsidwanso kuti popereka ndalama ku tchalitchi akhoza kudzimasula okha ku uchimo, ndiponso kumasula mizimu ya anzawo amene anamwalira amene anali m’malawi amoto ozunzika.

Chichewa: The prince of darkness wrought with the leaders of the papal hierarchy. In their secret councils Satan and his angels controlled the minds of evil men, while unseen in the midst stood an angel of God, taking the fearful record of their iniquitous decrees and writing the history of deeds too horrible to appear to human eyes

Chichewa: Before the invention of printing, books were few in number, and in a form not favorable for preservation; therefore there was little to prevent the Romanists from carrying out their purpose.
