These treatises were, then, forbidden, and in consequence desirable.
XX. The most virtuous women have in them something which is never chaste. XXI. "That a man of intellect has doubts about his mistress is conceivable, but about his wife! that would be too stupid." XXII. "Men would be insufferably unhappy if in the presence of women they thought the least bit in the world of that which they know by heart."
The government might sell thieves, if they had no property, until their services had made good the injury, and paid the legal fine. Ex. xxii. 3. But masters seem to have had no power to sell their servants.
Mary's, Oxford, took his text out of the history of Balaam, Numb. xxii., "Am I not thine ass?" Dear Sir, pardon this rhapsody of, Sir, your, &c. He thought, writing to Lord Spencer about 1690, that we have "few tolerable letters of our own country" excepting and that only in a fashion those of Bacon, Donne and Howell.

We find in the Bible, household furniture, clothing, cattle, money, signets, and personal ornaments, with divers other articles of property, used as pledges for value received. But no servants. "Oxen, asses, sheep, raiment, and whatsoever lost things," are specified servant not. Deut. xxii. 13. Besides, the Israelites were expressly forbidden to take back the runaway servant to his master.
They complain of God's hiding of himself, and forsaking them, Ps. xxii. 1, "My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?" and Ps. xiii. 3, "How long wilt thou forsake me?" &c. They cry out for a blink of his face, and get it not; for he hath withdrawn himself, Ps. xiii. 1, "how long wilt thou hide thy face from me?"
But, first of all, enter into the inner chamber of your prayer, and say: "Lord, make me a fit instrument of thy kingdom. Purify my heart, that I may purify thy world. I would live for others' sakes, but first of all that great self-sacrifice must be obeyed: 'For their sakes I sanctify myself, Reign thus in me that I may rationally pray: Thy kingdom come!" Luke xxii. 39-46.
Political necessity alone prevented it from being used against the nobility and gentry. Ockham, however, the clever Oxford Franciscan, who formed one of the group of pamphleteers that defended Louis of Bavaria against Pope John XXII, quite clearly enlarged the grounds for Church disendowment so as to include the taking over by the State of all individual property.
