There are such men in your Majesties dominions that dwell in such To•ns, and they are forsooth so scrupulous, they will not be content with that Religion that the Law hath established, but they must go up to Jerusalem to worship, yea, and at such a• m• they get into a corner and there they commit such and such wickedness, and they live in these and these wicked waie•; And thus they came and told the King t•les of them, and the text sai•s, They mad• the King glad with their tales, the King was tickled with it and rejoiced at it, and he gave them his hand, gave them encouragement. Certainly amongst u• there hath not been wanting men that have endeavoured this, that w••ld have accounted this their happiness to get a t• i• •o tell of a Puritan or of a godly Minister, though it were never so false. Thus we have briefly pa•• over this second charge in this second verse, •wea•ng, and Lying.
