NVNTIVS.Oh ioyfull newes, which I report, and bring into your eares,
Philologus, that would haue hangde himselfe with coard,
Is nowe conuerted vnto God, with manie bitter teares,
By godly councell he was woon, all prayse be to the Lorde,
His errours all, he did renounce, his blasphemies he abhorde:
And being conuerted, left his lyfe, exhorting foe and friend,
That do professe the fayth of Christ, to be constant to the ende,
Full thyrtie weekes, in wofull wise, afflicted he had bene,
All which long time, he tooke no foode, but forst against his will,
Euen with a spoone to poure some broath, his teeth betweene,
And though they sought by force, this wise to feede him still,
He alwayes stroue with all his might, the same on ground to spill,
So that no sustenaunce he receiu'de, ne sleepe could he attayne,
And nowe the Lord, in mercy great hath easde him of his payne.
FINIS.
