Bernard of Clunice saith thus, Roma dat omnibus omnia dantibus:1 Omnia Romae Cum Pretio. Rome giveth all things to them, that give all things: Al things at Rome will pass for money.2 Even in the Popes own Decretals ye shall find it noted thus, Roma est Caput Avaritiae. Ideò omnia ibi venduntur: Rome is the Head of all Covetous treachery. And therefore all things there are set to sale.

Yea Thomas Becket him self, whom a little before, ye called a Saint, when, for his wilful disobedience, and Treason committed against his Prince, he had for aide, and succour, fled to Rome, and saw, that nothing would be wrought there without money, 1thus he wrote he wrote thereof to the Bishop of Menze: Matter Roma facta est Meretrix, & prostituta est pro mercede: Rome our Mother is become an Harlot, and for money, and meed layeth her self to sale. To be short, ye know, that our Fathers, long sithence, were wont to say, Curia Romana non captat Ovem sine lana: The Court of Rome will not take the Sheep without the fleece.
