The Lord Bishops answere.

I view'd your Childe, and I dare sweare 'tis yours,
So plaine so pithy, and so like the Sire:
The Theame diuine, commends your well-spont how'rs,
The Poets furie, and the Fathers fire.
I poz'd him in our vulgar Catechisme,
And thus Confirme him, he is void of schisme.
Your true louing friend, THEO. LANDAVENSIS.
