A Meditation on a good Father having a bad Sonne.

Qverkus of late was minded to dispute
Of this, A tree thats good brings forth good fruite.
Hence he concludes such parents that have bin
Converted, bring forth children void of sinne.

Peace Querkus peace, and hold thy tongue for shame
Dost not perceive that thy conclusion's lame?
May not a graine thats free from chaffe and cleare
Cast in the ground, bring forth a chaffy eare.
