Emblema. 47. Deus non est προσωποληπτης.



The Translation.
While Peter was on prayer bent

Act.10.12. & deinceps.


In the house toppe, a vision sent
Fom heauen, he seeth a fouresquare sheete,
The corners knit eche other meete,
Full of all sortes of beastes both cleane
And vncleane also there are seene.
A voyce was heard, kill, Peter, eate:
Then he, no Lord, not vncleane meate.
The voyce againe, do not thou take
For vncleane, what God holy doeth make.
So we ought not off cast all hope,
When we see one of the wicked troope:
As swines flesh nowe is not vncleane,
Forbidden once, so wicked men
May yet returne, if God say Amen.
