1And they had here, like the here of women: by the which similitude he noteth their wantonness, Idleness, whorish apparel, and effeminate minds. For they be combed and piked, and very finely apparelled, delighting in women's Jewels, wearing costly garments, especially in the church, where they ought most of all to show humility and frugality. Which of the Apostles went ever so decked (or rather disguised) in the Temple or without the temple? The excess and costliness of apparel of Priests and Monks giveth no place to the costly array of the Persian Kings. Again the thing it self speaketh. S. Austen in an homily upon the seventh of the Apocalypse, in the here, sayeth he, he would understand and show, not only an effeminate or womanly sex, but also either or both sexes. This sayeth he. Which I leave to be construed and scanned of others.

1In attributing to them also the teeth of Lions, he signifieth their cruelty against the poor and faithful professors of Christ. They are most cruel in persecutions, and of blood most thirsty, neither are they moved herein with any compassion. They destroy also with the sword all things: many devise sundry torments. They excel in tyranny Busirides and Phalarides: the thing it self speaketh again. For if Kings, Princes or Magistrates, would spare the silly wretches, the priests and Friars cry out that it is not lawful: finally they incense the minds of all Princes and Magistrates
