Parallel - Bastinado and Cudgelled

First Shake-Speare:

"He gives the bastinado with his tongue;
Our ears are cudgelled;"

King John 2.1.463-4

now Bacon:  "No man loves one the better for giving him the bastinado [thrashing] with a little cudgel."
Advice to Queen Elizabeth

Comment: In the sentence quoted Bacon advises against subjecting Papists to petty annoyances (hence "a little cudgel"). this parallel derives its force from the collocation of "bastinado" and "cudgel"/"cudgelled"; and from the fact that in the  Shake-Speare passage too the cudgelling is spoken of contemptuously - the cudgel is a little one.
