Quotes by William Caferro (?)

“the Christian vision is meant to be translated into virtue; the faith that apprehends God’s gratuitous forgiveness in Christ must be translated into a radical obedience to him.”
― William Caferro, Broken Lights and Mended Lives: Theology and Common Life in the Early Church

“Tell me how you wish me to deal with these enemies of yours, for they are no able to camp, and I will deliver them in your hands in whatever manner you wish.' Modern accounts invariably include the story of how dal Verme sent Hawkwood a fox in a cage, to say that he had the clever Englishman trapped. -Jacopo dal Verme to Giangaleazzo Visconti”
― William Caferro, John Hawkwood: An English Mercenary in Fourteenth-Century Italy
