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 ...	Ford, Thomas, 1598-1674.	1668 (1668)	Wing F1512; ESTC R6792	44,620	44

favour_n and_o blind_a the_o eye_n of_o counselour_n flatter_v and_o delude_v legislative_a power_n to_o keep_v we_o in_o the_o height_n of_o our_o pride_n and_o luxury_n these_o be_v the_o matter_n we_o employ_v our_o prudent_a head_n about_o from_o year_n to_o year_n for_o we_o can_v neither_o preach_v nor_o pray_v when_o once_o we_o be_v lord_n bishop_n we_o can_v opprass_n suppress_v and_o

lordly_a dignity_n to_o preach_v the_o word_n of_o god_n except_o it_o be_v now_o and_o then_o in_o prince_n court_n it_o be_v too_o unworthy_a a_o work_n for_o we_o to_o be_v exercise_v in_o among_o

of_o christ_n authority_n according_a unto_o his_o law_n and_o order_n they_o dare_v not_o run_v till_o they_o be_v send_v nor_o come_v till_o they_o be_v call_v nor_o go_v into_o the_o vineyard_n until_o the_o master_n of_o the_o vineyard_n send_v or_o thrust_v they_o in_o but_o we_o like_o thief_n and_o robber_n climb_v up_o another_o way_n a_o way_n which_o christ_n never_o appoint_v neither_o do_v he_o own_o or_o bless_v yea_o though_o we_o plead_v like_o so_o many_o crafty_a lawyer_n for_o their_o fee_n though_o they_o know_v their_o client_n cause_v to_o be_v bad_a and_o

yet_o we_o can_v no_o long_o remain_v undiscovered_a to_o the_o wise_a and_o prudent_a but_o we_o be_v sufficient_o discern_v to_o be_v intruder_n into_o usurper_n and_o ravisher_n of_o the_o

four_o the_o scripture_n bishop_n be_v content_v and_o well_o enough_o satisfy_v with_o that_o portion_n of_o worldly_a thing_n which_o jesus_n christ_n their_o lord_n have_v provide_v and_o appoint_v

we_o be_v the_o most_o dissatisfied_n person_n in_o the_o world_n for_o when_o we_o have_v trade_v in_o fat_a live_n from_o two_o hundred_o pound_n to_o three_o hundred_o and_o then_o to_o four_o or_o

and_o then_o our_o great_a care_n be_v how_o to_o preserve_v and_o maintain_v our_o pomp_n and_o greatness_n by_o rack_a and_o squeeze_v who_o we_o can_v to_o gather_v in_o our_o thousand_o and_o

scripture_n bishop_n do_v all_o they_o can_v to_o fill_v up_o the_o ministry_n and_o supply_v the_o vineyard_n of_o the_o lord_n with_o able_a holy_a and_o faithful_a minister_n such_o who_o will_v make_v it_o their_o work_n to_o serve_v the_o lord_n christ_n not_o their_o own_o belly_n such_o as_o do_v ready_o accept_v of_o the_o work_n not_o the_o wage_n only_o or_o chief_o but_o we_o have_v beat_v out_o the_o lord_n labourer_n such_o as_o he_o plant_v in_o his_o vineyard_n that_o we_o may_v bring_v in_o some_o of_o our_o ill-begotten_a son_n into_o the_o vineyard_n we_o care_v not_o who_o or_o what_o they_o be_v so_o they_o will_v bow_v to_o we_o and_o call_v we_o father_n and_o lord_n and_o officiate_v as_o our_o black-mouthed_a chaplain_n for_o we_o will_v not_o have_v they_o look_v nor_o speak_v or_o walk_v like_o christ_n minister_n if_o they_o will_v observe_v our_o manner_n and_o walk_v as_o they_o have_v we_o for_o example_n obey_v our_o unholy_a order_n and_o

for_o we_o fear_v nothing_o more_o nor_o grieve_v at_o any_o thing_n so_o much_o as_o the_o loss_n of_o our_o subject_n or_o rather_o slave_n and_o therefore_o to_o prevent_v it_o we_o do_v all_o we_o
