For those who did not belong to their church

did indulge themselves in sorceries, and in idolatry or idleness,

being lifted up in the pride of their own eyes;

persecuting, lying, thieving, robbing,

committing whoredoms, and murdering, and all manner of wickedness;

nevertheless, the law was put in force upon all those who did transgress it,

inasmuch as it was possible.

when they began to mark themselves in their foreheads;

Now I would that ye should see that they brought upon themselves the curse;

and even so doth every man that is cursed

bring upon himself his own condemnation.
