6. In the sea there be [Greek or Hebrew], fishes that eat up fishes: so in the world [Greek or Hebrew], men that eat up men. Psal. 14. Have all the workers of iniquity no knowledge? who eat up my people 1as they eat bread. Hab. 1. The wicked man devoureth the righteous. Thou makest men as the fishes of the Sea. The labours of the poor, even his whole heritage is worn upon the proud mans back, or swallowed down into his belly. He racks rents, wrings out fines, extorteth, enhanceth, improveth, impoverisheth, oppresseth; till the poor Tenant, his wife, and children cry out for bread: & behold, all buys him scarce a suit of clothes; he eats and drinks it at one feast.

The labours of the poore, euen his whole heritage is worne vpon the proud mans backe, or swallowed downe into his belly. He racks rents, wrings out fines, extorteth, inhaunceth, improueth, impouerisheth, oppresseth; till the poore Tenant, his wife, and children cry out for bread: & behold, all buyes him scarse a sute of clothes; he eates and drinkes it at one feast.
