T. The thirde lesson.
Manus tue dn̄e fecerunt me.
The
hande of God framed hym ones in goodlie shape,
Then transformed like a Boore, and conditioned like an Ape:
From a Bishoppe to a Butcher, moste bloudie of kinde.
Whiche often in Bastardes, the like you maie finde:
There is a greate decree made by C. the pope
That no Bastarde should weare staffe, miter or Cope:
Neither hath any dignitie, vnder a Cathedrall steple,
Bicause he is fatherlesse, and the sonne of the people:
Abraham left inheritance, to Isaac his sonne by right:
To his bastardes he gaue giftes, and put thē from his sight.
So if bastardes bee vnworthie of Temporall inheritaunce,
Muche lesse in Christes Churche, to haue any preheminence:
This Boner was a bastarde, of bloudde and condition,
And departed frō this life, without contritiō.
Responde.

Lorde how he would pullam,
When he was at Fullam,
With fire, rodds, and chaines
He put them to paines,
And that was well seen,
By M. and Bartlet green.
O Lorde I praie thee in what place
Shall bloudie E. Boner, past al grace
Hide his greasie blocke hedde,
Whē he shall iudge the quick & dedde.
Quid hoc rei est?
Mary he shall rise like a beast,
Emong the Romishe pied coates,
On the lefte hande emong the goates
He would not praie,
Nor saie Mattens that daie,
But swell and pante,
But redde wine and a Pigge,
Would make him lepe & frig
And saie diligo vxores vestras,
Ab ortu solis ad vesperas.
