In my reading it is much more common for temples to burn heretics than the other way around.
So if I were to derive by context which was the burner and which the burnee, I would assume it was the temple burning the heretics.

on the contrary,
it is without context,
that one will interpret
according to the normal situation
(that of the burned heretics)...

but when the context takes too much space,
the text is only a subtitle,
or phatic expression...
(in other words: dispensable...)
