Upon a most pious and learned Exposition of the Apostles Creed, by the same right reverend Father in God, William Nicolson, Lord Bishop of Gloucester.
He that desires to tract the Sacred wayWhich leads to heaven, soon shall go astray,
Uunless he hath a perfect rule or line,
Safely to guide him through all paths divine.
All is involved in th' Apostles Creed,
Which sinners do unto salvation need:
Twelve Articles of faith the Creed contains,
Which are explain'd by his laborious pains.
He lean'd with John, on Christs own bosome: thence
He suckt deep knowledge; which he doth dispence
Unto the world: to open heavens door,
Use but this key, and you shall want no more.
