They cry out for their money, (and as the Prophet saith) Clanior operariorum assendit ad aures meas. The cry of the workman is come up to mine ears. Oh for Gods […] let the workmen be paid, if there be money enough, or else there will whole showers of Gods vengeance rain down upon your heads.

And so (quod I to a certain noble man that is one of the Kings Counsel) if every man that hath beguiled the king should make […] after this sort, it would cough the king. xx.
