1 Timothy5:16
Verſe 16. Have widdows] That are widdows indeed, that have neither children nor nephews to relieve them, verſ. 3. of whom by the law of nature they may require [non-Latin text not transcribed], aliment and ſuccour.
And let not the Church be charged] How then will Churchrobbers anſwer it, if Church chargers be in a fault? Let them give us a juſt Commentary upon Prov, 20.25. and remember Cardinal Wolſey, and his ſacrilegious inſtruments: five of whom came to fearfull ends, as Scultetus recordeth and concludeth with this with,Scultet Annal. dec 1 p. 332. Ʋtinam his & ſimilibus exemplis edocti diſcant homines res ſemel Deo conſecratos timidè attrectare. I would that men would be warned by theſe examples, and better adviſed how they meddle with Church maintenance, thereby to enrich themſelves.
