| Translation: |
In this the fourth form of religiosity is shown, called the ostentatious one, since all worldly friends and relatives, and even parents, urge and entice toward worldly display. But learned and righteous men, despising these things, lead others to scorn them […], understanding how greatly such vain minds incur God’s hatred, as the Psalm testifies, saying: «You hate those who observe worthless vanities» […]. In these most sacred words a threefold hatred of God is set forth against a threefold fault of pomp and vanity:
• first, hatred against worldly curiosities, there: «You hate those who observe», that is, curious inventors and pursuers;
• second, against worldly vanities, there: «vanities»;
• third, against worldly superfluities, there: «worthless», that is, superfluous.
