Of and against the word creepe.

Epig. 209.

Creepe , is a Metaphor that's euer vs'd
In controuerted questions of our faith;
Wherein the word (orevs'd) is much abusd;
For, this Schisme then crept in, th' opponent saith.
Though Creepe bee most significant to show
How Errors came in slowly, more and more;
Yet so to spur-gall Creepe to make it goe
still on that errand, shewes our Tongs too poore,
Or Wit's too bare: But now such questions deepe,
Do run abroad too fast they doe not creepe.
