XIIII. VPPON BVCER.

Bvcer, as some affirme, was first a Iewe;
But doubting that; his mind he did imbew
With Christian rites, and, vpon iust dislike
Of Iudaisme, became a Catholick;
Yet stayd not there, but soone did that reiect
For Luther's, then new rays'ed, licentious Sect.
Yet that, he held not long, but chang'd againe,
And vowd himself a perfect Zuinglian.
From hence he back to Luther made repaire;
And there, for his offence, by humble prayer
He pardon crau'd: but this he soone forgot,
And straight resum'd his former Zuinglian's coat
Nor want there some, whoe dare auerre for true,
That, after this, he dy'd, as first, a Iew.
Whoe'l not admire this man? sure he doth misse it,
Who his Religion cannot like, what is it?
