Thou vnbeleeuing villaine which doest thinke
That heauen & earth & all was made by nature,
Not framd of God: That euen at hel mouthes brink
Thou infidel and most for-saken creature,
Recant thy Errour for there is a God,
One that can make thee feele his heauy rod.
That heauen & earth & all was made by nature,
Not framd of God: That euen at hel mouthes brink
Thou infidel and most for-saken creature,
Recant thy Errour for there is a God,
One that can make thee feele his heauy rod.
But thoult not sticke most openly to say,
There is no God, the scriptures are but fables:
Made and deuis'd onely to gaine-say,
And to preuent and disapoint the trobles.
Which one man gainst the other still doth plot,
For wealth and substance sake wert not for that.

Which one man gainst the other still doth plot,
For wealth and substance sake wert not for that.
Thou liuest in pompe and pride, thou hast not felt,
The hand of God, he hath not tought thy state:
Nor laid his finger to decrease thy wealth,
He neuer sought thy substance to abate,
But still hath suffred thee to abuse his name,
Looking at length thou shouldst thy selfe reclaime.

But still hath suffred thee to abuse his name,
Looking at length thou shouldst thy selfe reclaime.
Yet thou in wickednes dost wander still,
And wouldest continew in thy blasphemie:
Ile see thee hangd ere thou shallt haue thy will,
To Gods dishonor Sathans cheifest enemie.
For Ile so whip you that you shall beleeue,
The Diuells hornes doe hold you by the sleeue.
