These are words / you may trust /[illegible]/ To the pure all things / are pure; but nothing / is pure to the tained / minds of disbelievers / tainted alike in / reason and conscience.
They profess to / acknowledge God / but deny him by / their actions.
Their desestable obstinancy disqualifies them from any good work.
