XXXVI. THE LYE.
Papists doe hold (thus prate all MinistersWhome to the pulpit their glib tongue preferr's)
That ther's noe God, that all which Scriptures shew
Concerning Christ are fables, and vntrue;
That after this, there is noe life; nor must
Our flesh, once rot, return againe from dust;
The Virgin Mary is their cheifest God;
She hath all power, she rules the dreadfull rod
Of Heau'ns dread wrath, for her they Christ reiect,
And more at her hands, then at his expect.
The Saints they doe, in lieu of Christ, implore,
Their shoes, cloathes, images, and bones adore.
Christ's death, they hold, for men did pardon gaine,
Women are saued by one Mother Iane.
A man with them, may God's commandments keepe
Without his grace: all faith is laid to sleepe
When they doe Penance; yea t'is Heresy
66
Noe one of them by Christ, but by bare straines
Of mans inuention, vnto heauen attaines.
And when they pray noe mention's made of Christ,
But of his creatures. Minister, thou ly'st.
