[On the use of Holy writing as a Safeguard.]

This tale (I trowe) doth somwhat touch the quicke,
And as it came from Heauen, so is it true,
For wrytings come from thence (you know) as thicke
As men make nuttes: this matter is not newe:
And more is done in Heauen, than we may know,
Beleeue the Pope, and reade another scrowe.
