Item, for painting thy face. Item, for selling of benefices. Item, for starving of souls. Item, for playing at cards. Item, for sleeping in the church. Item, for profaning the Sabbath day. With a number more hath God to call to account, for every one must answer for himself. The fornicator for taking of filthy pleasure, O son, remember thou hast taken thy pleasure, take thy punishment. The careless Prelate for murdering so many thousand souls. The Landlord for getting money from his poor Tenants by racking of his rents: see the rest, all they shall come like a very sheep, when the Trumpet shall sound, and the heaven and earth shl come to judgement against them: when the heavens shall
