Your prayer is but pattering without all affection, your singing is but 1roaring to stretch out your maws (as do your other gestures and rising at midnight) to make the meat sink to ⟨p. 243⟩the bottom of the stomach, that he may have perfect digestion, and be ready to devour a fresh against the next refection.

- 1Prayer.
Ye shall know them by their fruits. 1First thorns bear no grapes, nor briers figs. Also if thou see goodly blossoms in them, and thinkest there to have figs, grapes, or any fruit for the sustenance or comfort of man: go to them in time of need, and thou shalt find nought at all. Thou shalt find: forsooth I have no goods, nor any thing proper, or that is mine own. It is the convents. I were a thief if 2I gave it my father whatsoever need he had. It is Saint Edmunds patrimony, Saint Albans patrimony, S. Edwards patrimony the goods of holy church, it may not be minished, nor occupied upon lay and profane uses. The king of the realm for all that he defendeth them above all other, yet getteth he nought what need so ever he have, save then only, when he must spend on their causes a that they give, with all that he can get beside of his poor commons. If the king will attempt to take ought from them by the authority of his office, for the defence of the realm. Or if any man will entreat them other wise then they lust themselves, by what law or right it be: they turn to thorns and briers, and wax at once rougher then a hedgehog, and will sprinkle them with the holy water of their maledictions as thick as hail: and breath out the lightening of excommunication upon them, and so consume them to powder.
