Neither do these Cunning Hunters forage only the Forrest of the world. but they have ventured to enter the Pale of the Church, and hunt there. They will go• near to emparke it to themselves, and thrust God out. So many have done in this Land: and though it be danger for the poor Hare to preach to Lyons & foxes, I am not afraid to tell them, that they Hunt; where they have nothing to do. Poor Ministers are dear to them; for they are the Dear they Hunt for: How many Parishes in England (all most to the number of half) have they empaled, to themselves, and chased the Lords Dear out? Yea now, if God lay Challenge to his own Ground against their Sacrilegious impropriations, for his own Tithes; they are not ashamed to tell him, They are none of his: and what laws soever he hath made, they will hold them with a Non obstante. They were taken into the Church for Patrons, defenders; and they ⟨p. 76⟩prove offenders, Thieves; for most often Patrocinia, latrocinia.
