the Pharisees of the time of Christ, who, night and day, will exert
themselves with all heart and soul to cast forth doubts, in order
that they may deprive the souls of the glad-tidings of the Holy
Spirit. They will disseminate false rumors and utter many a

mayest resist all in the earth--how much more these weak, hired
individuals who receive salary and bribe for spreading such
calumnies!
