Good-thinking.
I perceaue wel that we two, can rule all rounde-about,
With our directions, in Worldly and Spirituall, likewyse:
Though then all liue ; through vs; in neuer so beastly Gyse/
Thatt is not regarded, men may perceaue it truly.

Unregarding.
But if a Man fayne himself, and go to Church duly/
Then is he well accounted of, though his Godnes be not much.

Good-thinking.
Yea, he shoulde soone be caught by the Throte, if he were any such,
That oughts, but what Good-thinking aloweth, shoulde like-of and defende.

Unregarding.
But Whoso ; Unregarding, and Good thinking; doth commende/
Hee reioyceth greatly, because he doth honour vs twayne,
But in our filthy Uices, and Workes peruerse and vayne,
Wee Two are doutles, the cheefe Ministers of Hell.

Good-thinking.
Then let vs equall Fellowes bee, and both together dwell:
And giue me now thy hande, in this League of our Equallitee.
And I wil no more aboue thee, clayme the Principalitee:
But alwayes by thy Syde, wil waite, euen hande-in-hande.

Unregarding.
Then let vs no more each other, enuyously withstande:
But be mery still together, and in nowyse to Lament:
To the ende that our Kingdom, in peeces be not rent.
For we continue vnreproued in the Generation of Men.
