Epigr. 7. In prophanationem nominis Dei.

Gods name is bare of honour in our hearing,
And euen worne out with our blasphemous swearing.
Betweene the infant & the aged both
The first and last they vtter, is an oath.
O hellishe manners of our prophane age.
Iehouahs feare is scoft vpon the stage,
The Minicke iester, names it euery day.
Vnlesse God be blasphem'de, it is no play.
