Puft up with pampering pride of paltred pelfs ;
Terrestrial temporisers, truthless traitors ;
False, faiued, faithless, filthy fornicators ;
Unhappy hy^jocrites, unwholsome whoors,
In beastly borthels, Babylonish bowrs.
With shameless strumpets in their stinking Stewes ;
Invyous Jesuits, invective Jews.
Equivocation, mental reservation.
The devil devis'd such doctrine for damnation ;
They eat their God, they kill their King, they cosen
Their neighbour ; is not this a great abusing ?
With many monstrous things I cannot name.
On which to think it makes me sweat for shame :
As are these Rites maintain'd in Romes theatre,
And first the casting of their holy water :
Their exorcisme, their images, their altars ;
Of crosses, cups, and pals, Popes are exalters,
Of candles, and of Churches consecration.
With vestments in the Church for decoration :
Their hypocritical hid Hermitages,
Their pennance and polluted pilgrimages :
Free will, and humane merite for offences,
With jugling Jubilees and indulgencies ;
And of the Saints their idle invocation,
And by the Pope their curst Canonization.
Auricular Confession, vile pollution,
And for their sins a-pay'd for absohition :
Their private Masses, and their murmuration.
Their elevation, transubstantiation.
Sir John, if ye would hear me but record.
Some verses on the Supper of our Lord :
It was a friend of mine to me did send them,
Hee's not a Cliristian will not commend them.
Priests make Christs both body and soul, we need not
doubt,
They eat, drink, box him up, they bear about,
One is too little ; bread and wine
