Excerpt from A Roll of the Household Expenses of Richard De Swinfield, Bishop of Hereford, During Part of the Years 1289 and 1290: Abstract, Illustrations, Glossary, and Index

This was especially the case with regard to the Church, where Christianity prevailed, for they were influenced by the belief that what they conferred upon it was given to God and for their own eternal welfare.
