Longing-for-comfort.I harde, that Unregarding, and Good-thinking, shoulde
Boldly presume ; with their suttle Snares or wyly Slights;
To seduce all sort, of People, with pleasant vayne Delights:
Also the Great knowers, in all what they deuise/
The Scriptur-leared-sort, and the worldly wyse:
And woulde bring them all into Errour, such was their Intent.
How shall I vnderstande thatt, I praye thee?
31
Consider of the Mynde, that this Playe doth heere present.
And I wil name them to thee ; whom they deceaue; by and-by.
Longing-for-comfort
Yea/who be they?
Good-informacion.
The Supposeing-true-sayers, that
euermore do lye:
All those that are largly, clothed with Self-will:
All, which cruell Enuy, do vtter from them still:
Those/that ; by false Deuices; the name wil seeme to haue/
That they haue fild themselues, full of Wisdom graue.
Who are also rightly rehearst, by Good-thinking a fore sayde.

All those likewyse that bost them: they are free, it is all payde:
And so choose to heare counterfeit Teachers, to follow after Sitch/
After whose deceitfull Doctrine/ their Eares do dayly itch:
Also all, that from the Doctrine of the Loue are turned.
Likewyse all corrupt Heartes, of the Scripture-learned:
All those that with Anger, from their Elder do depart/
And his Doctrine of Loue ; to ye worst; do spred and peruert.
Also all, that are turned, to such Falshod, very naught/
And suppose ; in such a Standing; of God for to be taught/
And wil not be touched, by the seruiceable Worde/
Wherby to learne to taste, the Loue, and her Accorde/
Wher-from they are quyt estranged, robbed, and blyndly leadd.
All those that haue not Christ, with his Loue, for their Headd/
But are so vtterly deafe, that they ; as the most Nomber;
Haste their Course-of lyfe/after the worldly Maner/
And yet thinke they haue the Best, in their Hearts within.
