Good-information.Then marke how ye Wo rlde, doth vex with Indignation,
When-as men once beginn, of the Trueth to testifye.
The false Teachers wil also, put downe those speedyly,
That out of Gods Loue, the Trueth to witnes now,
For saye then: Yee must yourselues, vnder our Knowledg bow/
And su[illeg.] ; from vs; your Understanding, for to be com taught.
At which their false Sayings, vnrightly to them caught
Many at such tymes, keepe scilence and giue-waye.
Among many Nations, now stands it at this stare:
With score of Disputacions, vnto much Disscentions stryfe:
Also, to much Contencion, without Ioyfulnes of Lyfe.
What a vayleth keeping scilence; this to quyet and redresse,
So is now the Loue inclyned, with Rethorick, to expresse,
The aufull Fall of Man, in maner of a Playe.
Longing-for-comfort.
Thatt ; indeede; approoues thy Speech, which thou before didst saye:
For the with am I ; through thy cleere and good Informacion;
Greatly set-at-quyet, in my Troublesom At[illeg.]yracion:
For thus did I think flatly ; I wil it not conceale;
That it was quyt contrary ; in a Playe; for to reueale,
The Trueth of the Mans Fall, and Lyfe thus sore defyled/
And of the Peace wherout, hee hath himself exiled.
But I must now alow thee, in all thou hast foorth braught.
