A second admonition to the parliament

to be their chiefest doers / and high Commissioners with them / to wring their brethren / if they be God ⟨p. 27⟩his children / and to let papists scape scot free / or to be punished but lightly: what causes deal they in for the good of the church? certainly few at all / but as they should do they deal in none. How are matters dealt in in their courts / but all for mistress money? who can reckon their disorders? in those former Treatises you read of a blessed company / do you not? how stiff & sturdy are they in the maintenance of their disorders? how have they shaken of the honest suits of many §10honest worshipful citizens and others: yea / of honourable personages which have dealt with them for those whom themselves ought to have had most care of?

What a charge are they to their clergy? and what a sum have they yearly / that might be saved? and it is no small matter y• maintaineth their courts / all which charges might be saved also / and matters belonging to the government of the church might be better / & more godly ended. To conclude this part withal / what is more expressly forbidden in y• scriptures / §30then those names and offices which they have.
