  1. In thus light of all total these events so herein showest, and so havest yet to certly be come,
  2. As the wealth they doest covet, take, tax, grab, and wheedle, glomb, remove, confiscate, and destroy,
  3. As they take and they take and they take and they take, and they take and they take take take take,
  4. So the men, they labor four times so much overmore, for the wages paid for just one time, only one;
  5. The wealth more it diminisheth everest, broking the masses, the pay remaining so flies far away,

  15. So wheedleth and dealeth they obtaineth the mostest of lucre, as they worshipeth all great artisans of yore.
  16. In thus light of all total these events so herein showest, and so havest yet certly to be come,
