XXXIX. ON CALVIN.

Caluin , in pay of that despairing sinne
He laid on Christ, himself did dye therein.
And while from forth his vlcerous flesh did burst,
Wormes, stench, and lice, still swore, blasphem'd, & curst,
And on the Diuell without rest did call;
Which argueth his good nature, and that all
His wits were perfect: Since so neare his end
He had so cleare remembrance of his friend.
