Joseph a Thessalonian Bishop was
And likly too a very Holy man.
Constantinople calls Nicephorus
A Laick vain Imaginarian
Then Theodote not of an Image tang.

Dalmatia now offers us gospell Glory.
At Jadere Donatus the word Displayes.
Methodius and Cyrill are in story
Polanian, and Sclavan Churches praise
Who did them gather, and made Gospell blaze.

Methodius the Vandall Letters first
Invented, then the Scriptures did translate,
Into th'slavonian Tongue, and did off burst,
The Latine Service. Hence comes popish hate.
Whence he at Rome his deed did vindicate.

Alledging from the Psalms that Ev'ry Tongue
Should praise the Lord: and so did Cyrill too.
The Pope hence grants this to the Sclaves alone
He to Dalmatia, and Illyrick goe
Did, and perswadeth them the like to doe.

But seing his Moravians and Sclaves
Not pleasd in leaving the Bavarian wayes

And all God worship in their own Tongue do
To Edify the Church as formerly
Before the dayes of Charles the Greate, but lo
The Popish Brats make Kings upon him fly.
Hence going home at Juli'ment did die.

Oswald was Bishop of Illyricum
Of Norice, and Pannonia ordain'd
A truer Trojan to the popish Drum.
How far in these the Gospell glory train'd
We little know nor know we how restrain'd.
