O good my Lords and brethren, I come not hither to be a Patron for money matters: GOD seeth my heart before whom I speak it. But I see Gods Temple by this means is forsaken. Young men, such as are of most to wardenesse turn them selves to be Physicians, or men of Law: yea. Clerks, or Apothecaries. The matter is so used, that they are ashamed to be Ministers in Gods Church. They should not so do, say you: no, neither yet you, as your doings are, can be angry with them. They are not Angels, but your own children, your brethren, your Cousins, of your own affections, of your own flesh and blood, and they think themselves too good to become your slaves.

Then that that was every mans own, every man made it common, and no man counted it to be his own. Now that appertaineth to others, ⟨image 55⟩and is appointed to the building and preserving of Gods Church,, that every man layeth hands on, and counteth to be his own. In the mean season, the poor Universities are neglected, the schools every where unfurnished, the youth driven and chased away from the building.
