I can not tell what, partly popery, partly true religion mingled together. They say in my country, when they call their hogs to the swine trough. Come to thy mingle mangle come pyr, come pyr, even so they made mingle1 mangle of it. They could clatter and prate of the Gospel, but when all cometh to all, they joined popery so with it, that they marred all together, they scratched and scraped all the livings of the church, and under a colour of religion, turned it to their own proper gain and lucre.

A word or two more and I commit you to God. I will monish you of a thing, I hear say ye walk in ordinately, ye talk unseemly otherwise then it becometh Christian subjects. Ye take upon you to Judge the judgements of Judges.
