[Great lyes they preach who tell the church cannot err]
Great lyes they preach who tell the church cannot err,Lesse lyes, who tell the king's not head of her;
Great lyes, who saye we may shed bretherens blood,
Lesse lyes, who tell dombe bishopes are not good;
Great lyes they preach, saye we for Religion fight,
Lesse lyes who saye the king does nothing right;
Great lyes & less lyes, fooles will saye heere I
Playe on Mens nailes. Who sayes so doth not lie.
