Epig. 15. To our Brittish Bards.

Tell me Sons of Levi, who professe
More of the Gospell though you practise lesse;

How dare you Boanerges, Sonnes of Thunder,
Untwist Loves knot, and break that bond in sunder;
While in the Pulpit you revive old Jarrs,
And re-imbroyle the Kingdome in new warrs;
Whiles you preach controverting points, and next
In parts divide the people with the text.
