Baldwin an Archbishop of Canterbury boasted often, that he never eat flesh in his life. To whom a poor lean widow 1replied, that he said false; for he had eaten up her flesh: He demands how: She replies, by taking away her Cow. Never pretend your earnest zeal, fasting or praying, or travelling to Sermons; when you devour widows houses, enclose Commons, and so eat up the very flesh of the poor.

If there be any that allows sometimes the Church his body, when the Pope always hath his heart; who though he be in Domo Dei; in Gods house; is Pro Domo Antichristi, is for Antichrists kitchen. Or that keeps a Lady at home, that will not come two furlongs to Church: whereas our Lady travelled as far as Jerusalem. Luke 2. Who must needs be a Papist, because her Grannam was 1so: and grows sick if you but talk of the Communion. And all this to save his Lands on earth, though he lose his Land in Paradise: Let him know, God is not mocked.
