As he said to the Jews, thy wine is mingled with water, so might he have said to us of this Land. Thy clothe is mingled with flock powder. He goeth yet on. This seditious man reproveth this honourable city, and said: Principes tui infidels. Thou land of Jerusalem, thy magistrates, thy Judges are unfaithful, they keep no touch, they will talk of many gay things, they will pretend this and that, but they keep no promise. They be worse then unfaithful,1 he was not afraid to call the offycers unfaythful. Et socij furum. Fellows of thieves, for thieves and thieves fellows, be all of one sort. They were wont to say. Ask my fellow if I be a thief. He ⟨image 54⟩calleth Princes thieves. What? Princes thieves? What a seditious harlot was this? was he worthy to live in a commune wealth that would call Princes on this wise, fellows of thieves? Had they a standing at shooters hill, or Stangat hole to take a purse? Why? did they stand by the high way side? Did they rob? or break open any mans house or door? No,2 no. That a is gross kind of thieving. They were princes, they had a princely kind of theveynge. Omnes diligunt munera.
As he sayed to the Iewes, thy wyne is myngled wyth water, so myghte he haue sayed to vs of thys Lande. Thy clothe is myngeled wyth flockepouder. He goeth yet on. Thys sedicyouse man reproueth thys honorable cytye, and sayed: Principes tui infideles. Thou lande of Hyerusalem, thy magystrates, thy Iudges are vnfaythefull, they kepe no touche, they wyll talke of many gaye thynges, they wyl pretende thys and that, but they kepe no promise. Thei be worsse then vnfaythefull,1 he was not afrayed to call the offycers vnfaythful. Et socij furum. Felowes of theues, for theues and theues felowes, be all of one sorte. They were wonte to saye. Aske my felowe yf I be a thyefe. He ⟨image 54⟩calleth Prynces theues. What? Prynces theues? What a sedycyouse harlot was thys? was he worthy to lyue in a commune wealth that would call Princes on this wyse, felowes of theues? Had they a standynge at shooters hyll, or Stangat hoole to take a purse? Why? dyd they stande by the hyghe waye syde? Dyd they robbe? or breake open any mans house or dore? No,
