Examples
“But nothing like⟳ to that hath been shewed since in the English church by the spiritual tyrant of Rome and his mitred termagants, at the provocation of their oiled swill-bowls and blind Balaamites. For they most cruelly brent those innocents which did but only read⟳ the testament of God in their mother-tongue; and do not yet repent them of that mischief, but continue⟳ therein.”
“Wantonness was never such a swill-bowl of ribaldry; nor Idleness ever such a carouser of knavery.”
