Now, though such the gravity of the lords, as they must maintain magistracy, and not behold it abused ; yet such their goodness, they would not with too much severity punish wit, though waggishly employed ; and therefore only sent some slight and private check...
Side 78 - It was thought good by the whole consent of the heades of houses, to burne the bookes and such other things as served most for idolatrous abuses, and to cause the rest to be defacid ; whiche was accomplished yesterday with the willing hartes, as appeared, of the whole company of that house.
