I don't understand this extract

"To where it belongs with your charity! to heaven with it!" again snapped out the other, diabolically; "here on earth, true charity dotes, and false charity plots. Who betrays a fool with a kiss, the charitable fool has the charity to believe is in love with him, and the charitable knave on the stand gives charitable testimony for his comrade in the box."

What "To where it belongs with your charity! to heaven with it!" means? I am not a native speaker... Can you make THIS sentence clear to me?

Mr. Melville is being rather experimental in this novel. It can be a challenge even for native speakers.

To put it bluntly, and I don't know another way to put it without making you even more puzzled
