25 Against Lalus an ill Preacher.
Yong Lalus tooke a Text of excellent matter,And did the same expound, but marre the latter,
His tongue so vainely did and idly chatter,
The people nought but hem, & cough and spatter.
Then said a Knight not vs'd to lye or flatter:
Such Ministers doe bring the Diuels blessing.
That marre vs so good meate, with so ill dressing.
