Good-thinking.We Two (I warrant thee) wil not faynt-a-whitt.
For as they call mee now, Thinspiring of the holy Goste/
So do those worke great Wonders, that highly do them boste:
And thee, to be the Spirit, that perfect is and free/
We shalbe Both accounted now, Unspotted ones to bee/
Euen as those which fall not into any naughty Sinne.
Unregarding.
Hah-hah-ha/That is a fyne Remedy, & cuningly brought in/
As heere it doth appere now, for our Purpose passing-right.
O-ho! This shalbe to many Men, a Comfort and Delighte,
Which, to the Loue of Righteousnes, haue no good regarde:
Good-thinking.
Namely: To the Couetous, that seeke Gifts or Rewarde.
And go to teache the Scripture, for fylthy Gayne & Treasure/
Because they woulde liue ydly, after their owne Mynds pleasure/
Also all, that flatter the feeble Sheepe, from the right Foulde.
Those that ; with Compulcion; wil the Conscience captiue[illeg.]oulde.
28
In their manly Knowledg, Gods Trueth to gett or fynde.
All, which perswade themselues, that they are throwly-learned,
And ; after their owne Knowledg; wil liue free and vnbrydled.
Also all, that do themselues, on their owne Knowledg grounde/
And with their false venemous Mouthes ; mischeuous of Sounde;
The Entrance into the Christian Beeing, do withstande & refuse.
As likewyse all Disobedient ones, that much Reading do vse/
And which ; after their owne Knowledg; themselues do still teache/
Turning thatt Doctrine to the worst, which the Loue doth preache.
Yea, and those, which the Scripture; like a Topp; about do [illeg.]wle.
O! We haue yet many more, contayned in our Scrowle/
Which after the Spirits-inspiring, by Good-thinking, do liue.
