There are some who put on a holy bearing, and thus influence others because they appear holy, and yet inwardly are ravening wolves [see Matt. 7:15], and devoid of conscience. Covetously looking on their neighbor's possessions, if they are able and there is nothing to fear, by one or another pretense, trick or deception they steal them away. They also influence others, even princes and kings, in order to seize the property of others, and do so without any conscience, although they make a show of conscience.
