And such as do wickedly against the covenant shall he corrupt by flatteries...
Daniel 11:32
".... the worst abuse of the friars consists in their pretended 
confessions,
by means of which they affect, with numberless artifices of blasphemy,
that they can purify those whom they confess, and make them clean from
all pollution in the eyes of God, through this assumed power of
Antichrist,—setting aside the commandments and satisfaction of our Lord.
Thus, in their eagerness to participate in the gain of their master the
devil, they drag but too many down ...For if the conversation of
the just is seen to be in heaven, by the uprightness
of their rule of life, the contrary shows, beyond a doubt, that the
conversation of these friars is in hell—And what is worst of
all, they seduce to their ruin in spiritual things those of the people
who rashly put faith in them."
Wycliffe
