HYPOCRISIE.
Such
chopping cheare, as we haue made, the like hath not bin seene
And who so pleasant with my Lorde, as is Philologus,
His recantation, he hath made, and is dispatched cleane,
Of all the griefes which vnto him, did seeme so dangerous:
Which thing you know, was brought to passe especially by vs,
So that Hypocrisie hath done that, which Sathan did intende,
That men for worldly wealth, should cease the Gospell to defende:

What shall become of foolish Goose, I meane Philologus:
In actuall maner to your eyes, shall represented bee:
For though as now, he seemes to be, in state most glorious,
He shall not long continue so, eche one of you shall see.
But needes I must be packing hence, my fellowes stay for mee,
Shake handes before we do depart, you shall see mee no more:
And though Hypocrisie goe away, of hypocrits heere is good store.
Exit Hyp.
