(60) Menn before Adame.
Good Moses (which didst write by sprite of God),
some makes thy witt as watrye as thy name;
thy art, to serpents which did turne thy rodd,
thy sacred quill, which newborne world did frame,
are nothinge worth; thy Iudgements are but lame;
ffor the Italian redie witt doth sett the vnto schoole,
and Francis George, in his scriptures problemes, makes the a foole.

Thow couldst not see, (which everie thinge didst see,
of newspronge world Create by Ioue his hand,)
that before Adame, (calld first mann by thee,)
were manie menn (which by thy words is skande),
for some Italians thy words so vnderstand,
And Francis George doth, Talmude like,
by thy penn thee confound,
Provinge that manne Androgenon
was first made out of grownde:
But lett those wranglinge witts, that seeme
to teach godds heavenlie sprite,
Beware his scourging rodd deprive
them not of sence and light.
