Priesthood and fornication (Limborch; Chandler, tr., The history of the inquisition, 2 vols., 1731, vol. 2)

Text: "Neither shall he regard the God of his fathers, nor the desire of women..." Daniel 11:37 "Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils; Speaking lies in hypocrisy; having their conscience seared with a hot iron; Forbidding to marry..." 1 Timothy 4:1-3

Quote:

   [Yea sometimes, according to the Heinousness of the Offence, a more grievous Punishment is inflicted. John Stock, Notary of the Apostolick Rota, relates, in a Letter written at Rome, October 8, 1564. to J. Hensberg, a Divine of Cologn, a remarkable Instance of this. These Wretches of ours are not so holy as they appear. They walk in the Likeness of Sheep, but within are ravening Wolves, and their pretended Sanctity is a double Iniquity. They are under the Influence of a strong Ambition. The Venetians ordered one of them to be burnt alive, by Command of the Pope. He had been Father Confesor to some Nuns in the Dominions of Venice, and had got twelve of them with Child, amongst whom the Abbess and two otbers had Children in one Year. As he was confessing them, he agreed with them about the Place, Manner, and Time of lying with them. All were filled with Admiration and Astonishment, taking the Man for a perfect Saint, he had so great a Shew of Sanctity in his very Face. Epist. ad Belgas, Cent. 1. Ep. 66. p. 345. and Ep. 63. p. 316.]

The open or incomplete pentagram (Goethe; Taylor, tr., Faust: a Tragedy, 1889)

Text: none Quote: MEPHISTOPHELES. Well, we'll consider: thou canst gather My views, when next I venture in. Might I, perhaps, depart at present? FAUST. Why thou shouldst ask, I don't perceive. Though our acquaintance is so recent, For further visits thou hast leave. The window's here, the door is yonder; A chimney, also, you behold. MEPHISTOPHELES. I must confess that forth I may not wander, My steps by one slight obstacle controlled,--- The wizard's-foot, that on your threshold made is. FAUST. The pentagram prohibits thee? Why, tell me now, thou Son of Hades, If that prevents, how cam'st thou in to me? Could such a spirit be so cheated? MEPHISTOPHELES. Inspect the thing: the drawing's not completed. The outer angle, you may see, Is open left---the lines don't fit it. Goethe, Johann Wolfgang von; Taylor, Bayard, tr., Faust: a Tragedy , auth. ed., London; New York: Ward, Lock, and Co., 1889, p. 40 . Online Source:   a
