Therefore, no simple man of wit should be afraid to study in the text of Scripture. And no cleric should be proud of the true understanding of Scripture, because understanding of Scripture without charity that keeps God's commandments, makes a man deeper damned... and pride and covetousness of clerics is the cause of [the Church's] blindness and heresy, and deprives them of the true understanding of Scripture.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6684</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The keener the want the lustier the growth. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/61101]]></link><description><![CDATA[The keener the want the lustier the growth.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/61101</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The mask is dropped...
