26. Papisticall cruelty.
Were there no other argument but this,It proues our faith, then yours the better is.
We are not cruell, bloody, enuious,
(Though your late-lying Legends slander vs)
We meekely seeke but your Conuersion,
Weepe at your sought for Execution:
You bloody, slanderous, and inexorable
At all times, euery where, where you are able;
Witnes Maries short Raigne, French Massacre,
Which in red letters, your lewd minds declare.
Our God, though Iust, his mercy's ouer all,
A blood-sucker, Satan was from his fall.
