to have a Preaching Minister or no, we 

 appeale to the World. 



There was an old Monke uppon the 

 dissolution of the Abbey of Doier^ that 

 was cast from thence, came unto the place 

 where this Minister serves : Hee did 

 expound without licence, devide and 

 sever the corps of the word, from the 

 Spirit ; so spoyling the Scripture with 

 idle intentions, that at his end he left 

 neither Protestant^ Puritane nor Papist; 

 but a few of the simpler sort, more 

 inclined to Masse then to sound Re- 

 ligion. And of late, the late Canons do 

 straightly appoint foure Sermons^ yearly. 

 In this manner (My Lord) this Machi- 

 vilian, Polititian^ and Userer having 

 gotten two Benifices, thinks it sufficient 

 with his eight-quarter Sermons in his 

 two Churches, to cleare the infection 

 which the old Monke bred : Hee not 

 cunning ynough to dresse and cure the 

 crazed of his flocke, hath onely judge- 

 ment with his Hooke to catch and hold 

 a sheepe ; which by over-hard handling 

 hee doth so bruize, that now they can 

 by no meanes indure that all-catching- 

 fast-holding Instrument.
