As diversely at clivers times liatli been.
His coming needs but to be seen of few,
His works may serve for witnesses anew ;
And so Saint Paul himself I understand,
But privatly by Ananias hand.
And so, Sir John, to show you all my pack,
And let you see my breast as well as back ;
I wonder ye consider not the end,
Why God the holy Ghost in tongues did send ;
Know ye not, Tongues were only given for teaching ?
Know ye not, women are forbidden preaching ?
Yea scarce at home have liberty of speech.
But ask their husbands, and they for to teach.
Since women then in Gods word may not walk,
What should they do with tongues that may not talk ?
And then. Sir John, what worship do ye win
Unto our Ladie, when you bring her in
Jack-fellow-like with others whole six score,
Who got the holy Ghost, and she no more?
And where the Pope hath made her queen of heaven,
Ye make her but like one of the eleven ;
Surely, Sir John, this is an ill favour'd fitching ;
Ye thurst her from the Hall down to the kitching.
And this is also one of the rare Themes,
Held by your reverend Jesuits of Rhemes;
That Latine came not with the holy Ghost,
When the cloven tongues came at the Pentecost.
Now, if it came not by the holy Ghost,
Whence is this holynesse whereof ye boast,
That in it only, and none other tongue.
Both Masse and Matines must be said and sung I
Your last refuge wiU be unto the Poj)e ;
So knit up altogether in one rope.
Then, good Sir John, consider but a little.
How you gave unto Marie many a title,
Whereof ye have no warrand in the Word ;
And yet pursue us both with fire and sword.
As diversely at clivers times liatli been.
His coming needs but to be seen of few,
His works may serve for witnesses anew ;
And so Saint Paul himself I understand,
But privatly by Ananias hand.
And so, Sir John, to show you all my pack,
