I'le go to Heaven, go ye to Purgatory.
In Rome likewise, to hinder fornication,
Your Pope admits a great abomination ;
They suffer borthels withovit reprehension.
For augmentation of their yearly pension,
Wherein for Clergy-men are Stewes allowed.
For weekly payment, constantly avowed.
They spare not only to exact a rent,
From persons willing to live continent ;
Allowing them their whoors (thus they insist)
In Stewes ; where the may have them, if they list.
For Clergy-men they suffer not to marry,
Consenting to a course that's quite contrary
To Gods Laws, charging his Church withall.
There should not be a whoor in Israel.
But your Pope Adrian, for yearly fewes.
Did build in Rome (O Rome !) a stately Stewes ;
Behold his godlesse, gracelesse, goodlesse carriage
To build a Borthel, disanuUing marriage.
Now, were I lay, or Church-man, by my life,
1 should renounce your Stewes, and take a wife.
And last, your Pope, like all devouring dogs.
In Rome allows the Jews their Synagogues ;
Wherein our Lord and Savioiir Christ they curse.
For yearly payment to enlarge tlaeir purse ;
And yet before a Jew become a Papist,
Hee'l rather quite his God and turn an Atheist.
Now what profession will they not permit.
For profit in their Sodom for to sit ?
Except true Protestants, most Apostolick,
And pure i^rofessors. Christians Catholick ;
Such they will never suffer in their city,
They persecute them all, and have no pity ;
But still pursue them both with sword and fire.
Like mad-men in their fury and their ire,
And like blood-thirsty raging Lyons roaring
After their preyes ; like hungry Wolves devouring
