A39933	Felo de se, or, The bishops condemned out of their own mouthes confessing their politick devices, and unjust practices, to settle and maintain their lordly dignities, and private interests, to the impoverishing and ruine of the nations wherein such idle and unprofitable drones are suffered to domineer : in a familiar discourse between the said bishops and their tenants, begun in 1660, the year of their unhappy resurrection, and continued to this present year 1668 : published for information of the people, who groan to be delivered from that yoke of bondage, which neither they nor their fathers were able to bear / by a mourner for the poor nations ...

there_o that_o our_o shop_n have_v be_v so_o long_o open_a and_o we_o have_v have_v so_o little_a custom_n our_o spiritual_a officer_n in_o our_o high_a court_n have_v little_a work_n to_o do_v

they_o life_n so_o do_v we_o 6._o they_o belie_v and_o slander_v the_o lord_n people_n to_o their_o ruler_n and_o provoke_v and_o stir_v they_o up_o to_o help_v they_o in_o abuse_v they_o so_o do_v
