You might as well haue alledged saint Paul, but that so you should not reape that which you hunt after, that is, the estimati∣on of great clarks for great reading amongst your ignorant vn∣skilfull followers. But if saint Basil had béene of your religion, he would haue taught the rich man to haue founded abbeies, n••••neries, priories, and chauntr••••s for his soules health, or else to haue bestowed his superfluitie in gilding roodlofts, and finding
of lights, and such other toies. For with you these things con∣sume the portion of the poore.
