This
Spanish Inquisition is a Trappe, so slyelie sett,
As into it Wise, Godly, Rich, by Blanchers bace as fett.
Direct or indirectly then to answeare all is one,
From those Inquisitors escape but verie fewe or none.
Euen so by racking out the ioynts, or chopping off the heade,
Procustes fitted all his Guests vnto his iron beade.
Aue Maria, Credo, and the Paier noster say
In Latin, els they pennance thee, and take thy goods away.
Nay, these though satd, both say and doe as they, yeat all for nought,
They will exact by Torture what thou thinkest, and hast thought
Of Masse, the Pope, and Popish points, til in the Lapse thou fall:
Then, Mercie God, amongst those men no mercie is at all:
A bloodier Law vsde bloodierly was neuer heard or shall:
Tormenting men vntill they gesse by whom they are acus'de,
Which gessed, it against themselues for Euidence is vs'de:
As who would say, to be it must, because it so is mus'de,
Phillip, abusiuely seduc't, and World-deceiuing Pope,
Peruse all Lawes, euen Paganizme, past vnder heauens coope,
And rightly pondring those with this, thē speak your thoughts indeed,
Was not your Draco Sathan that himselfe could thus exceed?
Here adde for badde we might your League, if That of This had neede.
O happie and thrise happie Realme of ours, and other Lands,
Wheare, touching death by Clergie doomes, the Pollicy withstands.
