In order to fill their own bellies, so greedy are they, they intruded into the church's fold and devour for themselves -this is how the allegory works -devour for themselves the nourishment that of course they should be sharing with their flock.

为了填满他们的欲望，他们挥霍了教会的资金,这就是讽喻的含义,在自我满足中尽情的挥霍,当然他们需要与自己的信徒共享。

Look at line 113. This is where Peter is addressing Edward King himself: How well could I have spared for thee, young swain, Enough of such as for their bellies' sake, Creep and intrude and climb into the fold?

看第113行，这是彼得自己提到爱德华金的地方：,年轻人，我该如何宽恕你，我对你的宽恕如此之多，你却硬要堕入信徒的深渊？
