A Metrical History of Christianity | ||
202
Hung on last Centuries Spindle, and the stock
The Present Century gives I'le lay thereto
To spin her twine drawn out this Century through
That we may se how fine the same will run
And how her Glory rises, being spun
Through Lying Wonders, Errours, Superstition
Contentions, Cruelties, and Romes Ambition,
And such like things, that so we may adore
The Everflowing Spring of Patience more.
