78.24

This is an analogy for monastics and laity who, though holding the monastic precepts, are defiled and impure: in appearance they seem good, yet their mouths utter evil speech. If one wishes to call them good, their mouths utter evil; if one wishes to call them not good, in appearance they have gone forth as monastics.
