Ezra5:16

Verſe 16. Then came the ſame Sheſhbazzar] All this is truly and fairly related (as was likewiſe that of Doeg to Saul, againſt Ahimelech) but with no good intent. Now to ſpeak the truth, not for any love to the truth, nor for reſpect to juſtice, nor for the bettering of the hearer, or of the offendor; but onely to incenſe the one, and prejudice the other: this is plaine ſlandering.

And yet it is not finiſhed] And all by reaſon of ſuch ill-conditioned perſons as your ſelves, who retarded it.
