The Life and Death of John Philpot, who died Anno Christi 1555.
223
March'd to his death, and would not once allow
The least Submittance to erronious powers,
But Scorn'd to smell on their impoysn'd flowers:
And when he labour'd in the most distresse
He was most chearfull, and would still addresse
Himselfe to Heaven, where he was sure to find
A healing Balsome to confirme his minde;
He prayed to God, and hauing done, he cry'd,
I thank, I thanke thee Father, and so dy'd:
