‘So woe to those who steal things from anyone anywhere and who buy and sell with deceit and duplicity, not having first reported it. And those who do these and other things are cursed, because they were not ashamed and did not fear the curses which our father pronounced concerning such things. Therefore all the grief of our fathers and of all the saints and of our Lord Jesus shall come upon them and upon their pate.’
