In a nother significacion it is abvsed and mystaken for a
multitude
of shaven shorn and oyled whych we now calle the spirytualtye
and
clergye. As when we reade in the chronicles Kinge
wyllyam was a
great tyrant and a weked man vnto holy church and
toke moch
landes from them. Kinge Iohan was also a perylouse
man and a weked vnto holy church / and wold haue had them
punyshed for
theft / murther and what soeuer mischeue they did /
as though they
had not bene people annoynted / but euen of the vile
rascall and comen laye people.
