A Supplication For The Beggars is a book written by Simon Fish and first published in 1529. This edition was published in 1871. The book is a satirical attack on the corruption and hypocrisy of the Catholic Church during the early 16th century. Fish, a lawyer and Protestant reformer, uses the voice of a beggar to express his criticisms of the Church and its officials. The beggar argues that the Church should give its wealth to the poor instead of hoarding it and using it for its own purposes. The book also criticizes the sale of indulgences, the practice of granting forgiveness for sins in exchange for money. Fish's writing is sharp and witty, and his arguments are still relevant today. The book is an important historical document that sheds light on the religious and political tensions of the time.With A Supplication To Our Most Sovereign Lord King Henry The Eighth, A Supplication Of The Poor Commons, And The Decay Of England By The Great Multitude Of Sheep.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
