EMBLEME 29.

Imagine heere, Christ strongly fortifi'd,
Against the Popes bold heresie and pride:
And thinke, whilst his Accomplices combine
The Castle of Christs truth, to vndermine;
A flame breakes forth, which doth consume them all:
So seeking his, they meete with their owne fall.
And thus whilst heretickes (like wretched elues)
Out-stare the Truth, they doe condemne themselues,
Subiected to the twofold victory
Of Truth, and of their owne impietie.
Take refuge then, in Heau'ns eternall rest,
And see Christs foes against themselues addrest.
