The high Prelates so defended the 1right of holy church, and so feared the people with the curse of God, and terrible pains of hell, that no man durst leave the vilest herb in his garden untithed. And the offerings and things dedicate unto GOD, for the profit of his holy vicars, were in such estimation and reverence, that it was a much greater sin to swear truly by them, then to forswear thy self by God. What 2vengeance then of God, and how terrible and cruel damnation think ye preached they to fall on them that had ⟨p. 30⟩stolen so the holy things? And yet saith Christ, that righteousness & faith in keeping promise, mercy, and indifferent judgement, were utterly trodden under foot, and clean despised of those blessed fathers, which so mightily maintained Aaron's patrimony, and had made it so prosperous, and environed it, and walled it about on every side with the fear of God, that no man durst touch it.
