This Henry Filmer coming upon a Sunday from Clewer his Parish church, in the company of one or two of his neighbours, chanced in the way to meet his brother (which was a very poor labouring man) and asked him whether he went. To the Church said he. And what to do, quoth Filmer? To do quoth he, as other men do. Nay, quoth Filmer, you go to hear mass and to see your God. What if I do so, quoth he? If that be God (should Filmer say) I have eaten 20. Gods in my days. Turn again fool and go home with me, and I will read thee a Chapter out of the Bible, that shall be better then all that thou shalt hear or see there.
