“But some will say, our curate is naught, an asshead, a dodipole, a lack-latin, and can do nothing: Shall I pay him my tithes, that doth us no good or none will do? Yea, I say, thou must pay him his due; and if he be such a one, complain to the bishop.”

“No remedy; you must be dieted, and let blood in the Cephalica vein of asses, fools, dolts, ideots, dunces, dodipolles, and so forth infinitely; and never trust me, if you be not as tame-tongued, and barren-witted, as other honest men of Lombardy and the Low Countries.”
