".... the worst abuse of the friars consists in their pretended
confessions, by means of which they affect, with numberless artifices of blasphemy, that they can purify those whom they confess, and make them clean from all pollution in the eyes of God, through this assumed power of Antichrist,—setting aside the commandments
Thus, in their eagerness to participate in the gain of their master the devil, they drag but too many down ...For if the conversation of the just is seen to be in heaven, by the uprightness of their rule of life, the contrary shows, beyond a doubt, that the conversation of these friars is in hell—And what is worst of all, they seduce to their ruin in spiritual things those of the people who rashly put faith in them."
Wycliffe
