How's this for an insult?

I'm reading a book that has a bunch of historical Christian texts from Ireland and Wales right now, and in Muirchu's Life of Saint Patrick, a pagan king is described as "Depraved in his thought, intemperate in his words, evil in his actions, bitter in spirit, angry in soul, impious in body, unfeeling in mind, a gentile in lifestyle, and stupid in conscience."

I should try to remember that one.
