A Hundred pounds by year is taken of some benefice / for which four sermons only are preached / and those some times by an other. If this be more painful then gainful / it is because the horse Leech hath two daughters / 1give / give. &c. And I can not see how they can be more glorious / unless the palace were turned into a court / and their chair into a throne. There are divers places that God hath blessed with peace / where the ministers take more pain / and have less gain / and which make * less noise when they go in the streets. 2We have amongst us which have had Bishoprics offered / and as things unmeet for a minister of the Gospel / have refused them. God be praised / the Sun shineth not so hot in this Country now / that you need to complain of any great heat / and if you feel any heat / you have better shade then Jonah had by his gourd.3
