The Life and Death of William Tindal.
130
Papisticke stocks of Hell bred Tyranny;
He feard them not, but boldly would dispute
Against their swelling Errours, and confute
Their Principles with a most dexterous art;
His tongue was never Traytor to his heart;
Truth was the hand that pointed to the way,
Where full content and rich Salvations lay:
T'was not a loathsome prison could devorse
His ready lipps from the profound discourse
Of true Religion, nothing could prevent
His just endeavours, Time, he though mispent
If not imploy'd to good; Reader, admire,
His body flam'd to make his soule a fire.
