Verily, all these, and other far greater reckonings the Realm of England is well able to defray. Neither make we any account of the money, but of the deceitful extorting of the money: neither is it dishonourable to the Realm, to repress these lewd, & injurious mockeries, and to preserve the subject from open spoil. Other Kings, & Countries have oftentimes done the same. Jews the French King. whom,1 for his Holiness, they have made a Saint, hereof complaineth thus, Exactiones impositas per Romanam Curiam, quibus Regnum nostrū miserabiliter depauperatum est, levari, aut colligi nullatenus volumus: These Exactions, or payments of money laid upon us by the Court of Rome, by mean whereof our Realm is miserably impoverished, we will not in any wise to be levied, or gathered. The gains, & pelferies, that the Pharisees made of the people, were not so great. Nevertheless Christ said unto them,2 Woe be unto you, ye Scribes and Pharisees, that raven up poor widows houses, under pretence of long praying.
