The source: Olivier Maillard (1430–1502), a Franciscan friar, was a confessor to King Charles VIII and one of the greatest Franciscan preachers of the late 15th century. He owes his reputation to the harshness of his sermons, in which he blames others for using coarse language that is laced with words that are taken from the wrong places. This quote is from the library of Charles Henneguier (19th century stamp).
