Scotus _is slighted in Comparison of_ Cicero _and_
Plutarch. _A Place is cited out of_ Cicero _and_ Cato
Major, _and commended;_ dare omni petenti, give to every
one that asketh, _how it is to be understood. We ought
to give to Christ's Poor, and not to Monasteries. The
Custom of burying in Churches blam'd. That we ought to
give by Choice, how much, to whom, and to what End. We
