15. In church he was a noble ecclesiast.
Chaucer’s words
And with these relics, any time he found
 Some poor up-country parson to astound,
 On one short day, in money down, he drew
 More than the parson in a month or two,
725And by his flatteries and prevarication
 Made monkeys of the priest and congregation.
 But still to do him justice first and last
 In church he was a noble ecclesiast.

16. The Pardoner (lines 689-734) Greed, Sloth
Compared to Summoner—together they sing a song about lustful love
Has yellow waxy hair hanging down on his head thin like rat-tails; has bulging eyeballs; small voice like a goat; no beard
Wore a little cap
Greed, Sloth
Personification of evil; sells holy relics and favors to pardon people form all their sins to ensure purgatory; extorts money from people by preaching against having money; has repulsive physical features; special skill is singing at the offertory to extract money.
