Ubertini di Casali (_Arbor vitae crucifixae_, Venice, 1485, lib.v., cap.

iii.) tells a curious story in which he depicts the indignation of the prelates against Francis.

_Quaenam haec est doctrina nova quam infers auribus nostris?
Quis potest vivere sine temporalium possessione?
Numquid tu melior es quam patres nostri qui dederunt nobis temporalia et in temporalibus abundantes ecclesias possiderunt ?_ Then follows the fine prayer inserted by Wadding in Francis's works.
