XXXIV. Looke on this side Luther.

Looke now on this side Luther, and relate
What you can find in his reformed State;
Th'inconstant weake Melancthon first I see;
Next him that channell of impiety
That barb'rous, doltish, ignorant, impure,
Possessed heretiq; and Epicure
Carolostadius: neare to him do passe

62

That Ape that Cyclops, and two-footede Asse,
The Sycophant, the dog Heshusius,
And the Eutychian lying Brentius,
Next th'heretique Osiander hand in hand
With that vnchristian'd wretch, that factious brand.
Zuinglius, who had his doctrine from a spright,
Which but since death, he knew if black or white;
Perfidious fickle Bucer next doth go,
Then Iames Andræas, who no God did know
But Gold and Bacchus; nor by night, or day,
Was euer this Adult'rer seene to pray.
Th'Angell of darknes Caluin now appeares,
Who on his back the shamefull token beares
Of a hot iron, for th'vnnaturall vice
Of Sodomy, who after died of lice,
And in dispaire exhal'd his hatefull breath,
Cursing and calling Diuels till his death.
Here comes another of this vertuous tribe
That profane bawdy Scurre, that Diuels Scribe
Lasciuious Beza, in vndecent sort
Betwixt his Candida, and Andebert.
Now Allemannus the blasphemous Iew
Beza's great freind: then th'Authours of the new
And later Arians, the vndoubted Spawne
Of Caluin, whence was all their doctrine drawne,
Syluanus, Dauid, Gentil Blandrata,
Gribald, Seruetus, with the Apostata
Bernardin Ochin, ioyned to whome heere lurkes
Alciate, with Neuser, circumcised Turkes.
With many more such zelous Protestantes
All Luthers of spring, yea and all prime Saintes
In his new Church. Who'ld not imbrace this faith
Which such rare Doctours, such strong pillars hath?
