the_o ministry_n of_o the_o gospel_n they_o deserve_v not_o respect_n for_o their_o work_n sake_n to_o be_v prefer_v and_o honour_v as_o minister_n in_o a_o pastoral_a charge_n and_o not_o to_o cloister_n themselves_o up_o as_o unfit_a to_o labour_v in_o the_o lord_n vineyard_n and_o all_o be_v young_a brother_n that_o doubt_v of_o the_o truth_n of_o it_o the_o officer_n and_o minister_n that_o depend_v upon_o they_o be_v but_o pensioner_n to_o those_o priest_n that_o be_v maintain_v in_o the_o cell_n they_o must_v be_v all_o conformable_a not_o only_o to_o their_o superstition_n but_o their_o humour_n can_v they_o not_o be_v better_o maintain_v if_o the_o revenue_n be_v share_v among_o they_o but_o this_o be_v their_o priestly_a state_n to_o have_v their_o vassal_n to_o wait_v upon_o they_o and_o to_o eat_v their_o scrape_n which_o will_v otherwise_o fall_v to_o the_o dog_n oh_o i_o but_o here_o be_v our_o great_a work_n free-school_n and_o hospital_n be_v uphold_v by_o they_o i_o confess_v some_o thing_n be_v do_v that_o way_n by_o some_o of_o they_o partly_o be_v enjoin_v partly_o for_o custom_n and_o partly_o for_o vainglory_n but_o free_a school_n will_v be_v free_a indeed_o if_o half_a those_o rent_n be_v give_v to_o that_o end_n and_o hospital_n may_v be_v better_o maintain_v or_o poverty_n prevent_v if_o the_o other_o half_o be_v bestow_v to_o that_o purpose_n but_o they_o will_v be_v scavinger_n to_o mend_v high_a way_n and_o bridge_n i_o wonder_v what_o author_n they_o have_v to_o prove_v these_o to_o be_v pious_a work_n which_o the_o carter_n can_v do_v better_a than_o they_o but_o they_o have_v their_o end_n if_o they_o be_v at_o any_o cost_n that_o way_n either_o for_o come_v to_o their_o house_n or_o for_o to_o gain_v applause_n for_o do_v that_o which_o they_o and_o other_o be_v bind_v to_o do_v i_o see_v now_o they_o do_v not_o confine_v holiness_n to_o the_o church_n nor_o to_o thing_n belong_v thereunto_o see_v they_o bring_v it_o over_o bridge_n into_o the_o high_a way_n as_o for_o be_v cause_n of_o much_o profit_n to_o those_o city_n where_o they_o be_v situate_a in_o relieve_v the_o poor_a a_o poor_a pittance_n the_o poor_a have_v of_o they_o it_o will_v be_v a_o great_a help_n to_o the_o city_n if_o the_o mean_n save_v what_o will_v maintain_v two_o godly_a minister_n be_v bestow_v upon_o those_o city_n to_o maintain_v the_o poor_a in_o work_n that_o be_v able_a to_o work_v and_o to_o keep_v those_o that_o be_v not_o nor_o do_v i_o conceive_v that_o any_o stranger_n do_v come_v on_o purpose_n to_o visit_v the_o ornament_n unless_o they_o be_v some_o superstitious_a pilgrim_n such_o as_o do_v use_v to_o visit_v thomas_n becket_n tomb_n and_o such_o hinder_v the_o city_n and_o not_o help_v it_o because_o they_o go_v a_o beg_n then_o sure_o the_o city_n have_v no_o more_o deal_n with_o chapman_n then_o if_o the_o cathedral_n and_o all_o that_o belong_v to_o it_o be_v at_o rome_n well_o piety_n come_v again_o nay_o monument_n of_o piety_n i_o be_o sure_a the_o wicked_a wretch_n that_o be_v may_v do_v good_a bonum_fw-la sed_fw-la non_fw-la bene_fw-la they_o may_v bestow_v their_o estate_n to_o such_o purpose_n when_o they_o can_v keep_v they_o no_o long_o especial_o if_o they_o think_v to_o merit_v heaven_n by_o that_o mean_n which_o they_o will_v not_o labour_v for_o before_o we_o know_v many_o of_o they_o be_v great_a oppressor_n usurer_n popish_a bishop_n cardinal_n among_o the_o rest_n the_o cardinal_n wolsey_n which_o be_v a_o proud_a traitorous_a wretch_n yet_o must_v these_o build_v monument_n of_o their_o piety_n they_o have_v build_v fair_a house_n which_o may_v be_v useful_a if_o they_o be_v better_o employ_v for_o as_o they_o be_v now_o they_o be_v not_o the_o honour_n of_o this_o kingdom_n in_o the_o sight_n of_o foreign_a nation_n but_o its_o disgrace_n i_o have_v think_v they_o have_v not_o be_v all_o churchman_n that_o be_v maintain_v here_o speak_v of_o before_o because_o they_o be_v multitude_n and_o whole_a family_n but_o now_o i_o find_v many_o thousand_o of_o the_o laity_n who_o enjoy_v fair_a estate_n from_o they_o and_o in_o a_o free_a way_n too_o i_o perceive_v the_o first_o be_v all_o devote_a to_o the_o church_n i_o dare_v not_o question_v it_o as_o a_o repetition_n in_o their_o petition_n nor_o as_o tautology_n be_v three_o motive_n betwixt_o the_o one_o and_o the_o other_o it_o be_v as_o well_o do_v as_o the_o article_n of_o the_o synod_n be_v last_o year_n to_o establish_v the_o church_n but_o that_o it_o be_v not_o
