The thirtenth and fourtenth. Then (c) 1.1 it was paynefull: nowe gaynefull. (d) 1.2 Then poore and ignominious: nowe riche and glorious.
It was then as it vseth to be vnder the crosse. And it is now as it* 1.3 vseth to be when God doth blesse it with peace, quietnesse, and god∣ly Magistrates: And yet surely euen now it is more paynefull than gaynefull, more ignomious than riche and glorious: and that doe those knowe that beare the heate of the daye. But it is the more* 1.4 paynfull and ignominious for you, who ceasse not with rayling and spitefull words in Pulpits and at tables, to depraue and backebite your brethren, & to trouble the whole state with your factions and dayly inuented newe opinions: the persecution of the sworde ceas∣seth, but the persecution of the tongue is extreme hotte: and we who gayne so muche, and be so glorious, are molested aswell by you, as by the Papist, and Atheist: and therfore not very glorious.
