Wrath-Thus quyte I folk that doon us dispesances, thus spitte I out my venym under hewe, Of hoolynesse, to semen hooly and trewe (413)
Lust (lines 453)
Sloth 444-446
Gluttony-452
Then the actual tale is one that shows the hypocrisy by which the Pardoner lives. While I ask of forgiveness of Foucalt and any that cringe at the mention of biography, I cannot help but wonder how much anti-indulgences sentiment was apparent at the time of Chaucer's writing. While this work predates Martin Luther, I can only assume that the sentiments against the practice of indulgences was present at the time. (?)
