85. When charity is acknowledged but not faith, and still the life of charity is not led, though they still read the Word, this is adultery as of a sister with her brother. These are they who go often to Church, pray there devoutly, and care nothing for evils of life, such as thefts, secret stealing, adulteries, hatred, revenges, cursing of enemies and those who do not readily consent. With a sister.
