Epig. 1. The Sectaries of these times.
Like to Goliah they do make their brags,Yet of the people are the taggs, and raggs:
Men of small knowledge, though they love to bawll,
Lesse Honesty, Discretion none at all.
34
In their humors Phantasticall,
In their profession Pharisaicall,
Their Books Hypocriticall,
Their opinions Anabaptisticall,
Their Doctrine Schismaticall,
Their words Angelicall,
Their deeds Diabolicall.
Yet these (oh England) are thy Gods, ô Dire!
This Ignis lambens is thy holy Fire.
