005.C08.002  Whome anie pittie warnes; He which did laye
005.C08.003  Rules to make Courtiers, (he being vnderstood
005.C08.004  Maie make good Courtiers, butt whoe, Courtiers good)
005.C08.005  Frees from the sting of Iests all, whoe in extreame
005.C08.006  Are wretched or wicked: of theise twoe a Theame
005.C08.007  Charitie, and libertie, giue me. What is he
005.C08.008  Whoe officers rage >%Yand%Z<#and Suters miserie.
005.C08.009  Can write, and Iest? If all things be in all,
005.C08.010  As I thinck since all, which were are and shall=
005.C08.011  Bee, be made of the same Elements
005.C08.012  Each thing, each thing, emploies or represents
005.C08.013  Then man is a worlde; in w%5ch%6 officers
005.C08.014  Are the vast rauishing Seas; And Suters
005.C08.015  Springs; nowe full, nowe shallowe, now dry; w%5ch%6 to
005.C08.016  That w%5ch%6 drownes them runne: These self reasons doe [CW:Proue.|]
005.C08.017  Proue the worlde a man; in w%5ch%6 officers [f.16r]
005.C08.018  Are the deuowring stomack, and Sutors
005.C08.019  The excrements, which they Void; All men are dust
005.C08.020  Howe much worse are Sutors, whoe to mens lust
005.C08.021  Are made prayes. O worse then dust or wormsmeat,
005.C08.022  For they doe eat you nowe, whose selues wormes shall eate
005.C08.023  They are the mills w%5ch%6 grinde you, yett you are
005.C08.024  The winde w%5ch%6 driues them, and a wastfull warr
005.C08.025  Is fought against you, and you fight itt, They
005.C08.026  Adulterate lawe, and you prepare theire waye
005.C08.027  Like wittolls, th'yssue your owne ruyne is>>.<<
005.C08.028  Greatest and fairest Empresse, knowe you this?
005.C08.029  Alas no more then Thames calme head dooth knowe
005.C08.030  Whose meades hir armes drowne, or whose corne ore=flowe.
005.C08.031  You S%5r%6, whose righteousnes shee loues, whome I
005.C08.032  By hauing leaue to serue, am most ritchly
005.C08.033  For seruice paid, authorized, nowe begin
005.C08.034  To knowe and weede out this enormous sinne.
005.C08.035  O age of rustie Iron, come[sic] better witt
005.C08.036  Call itt some worse name, if ought equall itt; [CW:The]
005.C08.037  The Iron age that was, when Iustice was sould, nowe [f.16v]
005.C08.038  Iniustice is soulde deerer farr, Allowe
005.C08.039  All demaunds, fees and duties, gamsters, Anon
005.C08.040  The money which you sweat, and sweare for, is gone
005.C08.041  Into other hands. So controuerted lands
005.C08.042  Scape like Angelica, the striuers hands.
005.C08.043  If lawe be in the Iudges hart, and hee
005.C08.044  Haue no hart to resist letter or fee
005.C08.045  Where wilt thou appeale? Powre of the Courts belowe
005.C08.046  Flowe from the first mayne head; And these can throwe
005.C08.047  Thee, if they suck thee in, to miserie,
005.C08.048  To fetters, halters; Butt if the iniurie
005.C08.049  Steele thee to dare to complaine, Alass thou goest
005.C08.050  Against the strame,[sp:sic] when vpwards, when thou art most
005.C08.051  Heauie, and moste faint; And in these labours they
005.C08.052  Gainst whome thou shooldst complaine, will in the waye
005.C08.053  Become great Seas, ore w%5ch%6, when thou shalt be
005.C08.054  Forc't to make golden bridges, thou shalt see
005.C08.055  That all thy golde was drownd in them before,
005.C08.056  All things followe theire like, onlie, whoe haue, may haue more [CW:Iudges.|]
005.C08.057  Iudges are gods; He whoe made and said them soe [f.17r]
005.C08.058  Meant not that men, shoolde beforc't to them, to goe,
005.C08.059  By meanes of Angells; When supplications

005.C08.062  Shoolde paie fees as heere, dailie bread would bee
005.C08.063  Scarce to Kings; So tis>>;<< *%>>>W<<oulde itt not anger

005.C08.065  To see a Purseuant come in, and call
005.C08.066  All his clothes copes, bookes, primmers, and all
005.C08.067  His plate challices, and mistake them awaye,

005.C08.074  She is all faire, butt yett hath foule long nailes,
005.C08.075  With w.%5ch%6 shee scratcheth Sutors; In bodies
005.C08.076  Of men; so in lawe, nailes are the extremities [CW:Soe-|]
005.C08.077  Soe officers stretch to more then lawe can doe [f.17v]
005.C08.078  As our nailes reach what no else part comes to.
005.C08.079  Why barest thou to [sic]you officer, foole, hath hee
005.C08.080  Gott those goods, for w%5ch%6 men bared to thee?
005.C08.081  Foole, twice, thrice, thou hast bought wrong, and nowe hungerlie
005.C08.082  Beg'st right; Butt that dole comes not till theise dye
005.C08.083  Thou hadst much, and lawes Vrim and Thummin trie,
005.C08.084  Thou wouldst for more; and for all hast paper
005.C08.085  Enough to clothe, all the great Carricks pepper.
005.C08.086  Sell that, and by that, thou much more shalt leese
005.C08.087  Then Haman, when he solde his Antiquities.
