“They [hypocrites] fall straight down into the frying pan where the devil makes the fritters of hell!”

“Ant tah hit is to þolien, ant Godd haue[ð] ilahet hit, as ich ear seide, leste hwa se leope ant þer ne edstode lanhure, nawt nere þet kepte him, and driue adun swireuorð wiðuten ikepunge deope into helle.” (And so it is allowed, and God has made it [sexual intercourse within the bounds of marriage] lawful, as I said before, lest anyone who leaps and there does not at least stop, there being nothing to keep them, and falls down headlong without restraint deep into hell.)
