II. The Deuine.

My calling is diuine, and I from God am sent,
I will no chop Church be, nor pay my Patron rent,
nor yeeld to sacriledge, but like the kinde true mother,
rather will loose all the Childe, then part it with another:
Much wealth I will not seeke, nor worldly Masters serue,
so to grow rich and fat while my poore stocke doth starue.
