To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Suppose it, tho' it is very probable that, when he was a Youth, he might buy Oil, and Vinegar, and Salads for his Parents : But Peter and Paul, without all Controversy, touch'd it. The Virtue consists in the Contempt of Money, and not in the not touching of it. It is much more dan- gerous to touch Wine, than to touch Money ; why are they not afraid of that ?
Th. Because St. Francis did not forbid it Ph. Do they not readily enough offer their Hands, which they keep soft with Idleness, and white ...with Washes, to pretty Wenches ? but, bless me ! if you offer them a Piece of Money to look upon, and see if it be good, how do they start back and cross themselves ! Is not this an evangelical Nicety ? In Truth, I believe St. Francis^ illiterate as he was, was never so silly as to have absolutely forbid all touching of Money. And if that were his Opinion, to how great a Danger did he expose his Followers, in command- ing them to go barefoot ? for it is scarce possible, but that one Time or another, they might unawares tread upon Money lying on the Ground.
