Curious Diuines.

Diuines , that are together by the eares,
Puft vp, high-minded, seedes-men of dissention,
Striuing vntill Christes seame-lesse garments teares,
Making the Scriptures follow your inuention,
Neglecting that, whereon the soule should feede:
Imployde in that, whereof soules haue no neede.
Curious in thinges you neede not stir about,
Such as concerne not matter of saluation:
Giuing offence to them that are without:
Vpon whose weaknes you should haue compassion,
Causing the good to grieue, the bad reioyce;
Yet you with Martha, make the worser choyce.
Ile Stabbe yee.
