Good-thinking.
Tusch, no/the Wisdom of Man, is but a Tryfle, in effect/
How glistering holy, soeuer it doth appeere:
For, tis all before God, but filthy stinking-geere,
If they in their Hearts, humble be not founde/
Nor shewe-foorth any Loue, wherin they shoulde abounde/
As to be long suffering, and vnreuengfull also:
For those that be contencious, breake the Peace wheare they got
Reiecting ye right Doctrine, that to ye Loues Worke, doth serue.
Disobedient, as those, that from Christs Church, fall and swarue[illeg.]
And in all their Dealings, are puft-vp in Ambition.

Disobedient, as those, that from Christs Church, fall and swarue[illeg.]
And in all their Dealings, are puft-vp in Ambition.
Also those that seeke themselues, in eury Condition/
Those that in their Gouernment, wil no body forbeare/
Nor suffer any but such, as them do please and feare.
Those that account the Humilitee, to be of no Estimashon
All These that take-in-hande, the Scripture after this fashon/
To them must [illeg.] seeme to be loueing, with a freendly Cheere[illeg.]
For to them are we acceptable, and esteemed-of ful-deers.
But yet (to begin-withall) I must first chaunge my Name/
Then can none bring me vnder, nor worke me any Shame.
But I shall deceaue them all ; in their Lyfe; without fayle.
