     And indeede he calleth vs heere / to the consideration off our sinnes: wherby wee haue thus prodigally wasted / and gyuē into the handes of straungers / the liberties which were bowght with so great a price. And wee haue better cawse to thinke the earne∣stlier off them / for somuche as the Answ. lawgheth vs to scorne / and woulde make vs beleue that wee consente to elections when wee are a sleepe / that we chuse those / whom wee refuse: and so o∣ther eatinge the kernels / he maketh vs not a diner / but a feaste with the shels.
