The whole Country shall feel their hunting. They hunt Commons into Severals; Tilled grounds into Pastures, that the Gleaning is taken from the Poor, which God commanded to be left them; and all succour, except they can graze in the High-ways. And to others, to whom their Rage cannot extend, their Craft shall: for they will hoist them in the Subsidies, or overcharge them for the Wars, or vex them with Quarrels in Law, or perhaps their Servants shall in direct terms beat them. Naboth shall hardly keep his Vineyard, if any nook of it disfigures Ahab's Lordship: If they can not buy it on their own price, they will to Law for it; wherein they respect no more, then to have a•sam querelae, a colourable occasion of contention: for they will so weary him, that at last he shall be forced to sell it:¹ But Tully says of that sale; Ereptio non emptio est: It is an Extorting, not a Purchasing.
