IX. ON ZVINGLIVS.
When into Zuinglius Satan had infus'dHimself, and by those engines, which he vs'd
Before 'gainst Luther, drawn him to forsake
Christ, and al true Religion; and betake
Himself to Schisme, his neuer setled braine
Suting his name, did in a trice containe
Such swarmes of Heresies, as one might see,
But such a Master could his Master bee.
Th'first thing he doth is to correct the lines
Of sacred writ: his second worke declines
To liberty of life, affirming, all
Christs promises were hyperbolicall.
The floodgate thus set wide he keeps no measure
But frames al grounds of faith to his owne pleasure,
As, that original sinne though others please
To tearm it sinne, is only a disease.
Baptisme is so indifferent as it may
Be done, omitted, yea or taken away.
The path to heauen is so broad and plaine,
As euen Infidels thereby attaine
T'eternall blisse: when sinne we do commit
God as the Author moues, and forceth it.
All Kings and Princes when they are dispos'd
To persecute the truth may be depos'd;
For which himself assumes the sword and stirres
Euen his owne Countrey-men to Ciuill warres:
And there an armed rebell feeles the proofe
Of treacherie, and dyes; end good enough.
