Emblema. 61. Religio misturam non patitur.

The same in english.

In Dagons house the Arke doth rest,

2.Sam.5.


In prison is the place,
But God the Deuil cannot digest,
The light must darknesse chace.
The preist to worship com'th in morne,
Dagon maymed doth lye,
No handes nor head, but all forelorne,
The Arke vntoucht stand'th by.
Religion so can no wise thryue
VVhyle humane rites with it doe striue
But as a cloud it doth them driue.
