Epig. 19 In Uulpem puritanum.

Whose lauish-tongu'd precisme will not spare,
The chiefest pillars of our cleargie men,
But to a cast of counters them compare,
Giuing no count with Counters nor with pen:
Nor can I count the waies he doth abuse them,
Though late he had beene in the Counter cast,
If that his cheefe cast had not bin to vse them,
And craue their frendship, for his words or epast:
And if cast counters yet he be not giuing,
His cast of counters casts away his liuing.
