Festinat propero cursu, jam temporis ordo,
Quo locus, et Franci Majestas prisca Senatûs,
Papa, Sacerdotes, Missæ, simulacra, Diique
Fictitii, atque omnis superos exosa potestas,
Judicio Domini justo, sublata peribunt.
[_]

Verses quoted by Limerius in the year 1618, and written (as he said) fifty years before by a Protestant Advocate of the Parliament of Paris.
