bending their knee Nor yet with earths vast Empery content She would fame thrust Ioue from his regiment 22. Vsurping power in heauen and hells deepe flood Peruerting all with superstition Shee will haue Images compact of wood Of smooth clay shining mettall wel-squard stone Made Gods with hallowd incense burnt before them Oh Gods vvhat furie makes her thus adore them 23. Can true religion be so bold and blind To thinke that in vaine Idols Gods do lurke Or that the Carpenter hath Ioue assignd To dwell in trees the potter in his work Or caruer wiser then Pigmalion Can call an heauenly power to dwell in stone 24. Oh shame can men in such deep darknes walk As that their spirits should worse then spirits obey Can their fense deities in pictures Chalk Will high-bred soules their bodies bow to clay No. God is greater then we can beleeue him No stocke or stone or body can receiue him 25. Naught can containe his power containing all Behold the sphears encompassing each creature The Sun and stars lightning this worlds huge ball Are all but shadows of his all-bright feature What can we see but footsteps of his mind Far greater better fairer are behind 26. Farther then heauen doth earth Ioue heauen exceede To whom the sacrifice of prayers and praise With truth and vprightnes in words and deeds Offered on harts as altars doth best please To vvorship senseles trees is times old error Receiu'd of this huge monster for mens terror 27. Yet multitudes bewitchd with her would faine With superstition and sedition Their blindfold hearts and wicked hands prophane The Lords and commons ioyne in inquisition The diuells deep forge the slaughter house of saints Which best and worst yet rather best attaints 28. As many twinckling stars appeare by night When Boreas blowing rough stormes makes winter cold As hony-sucking Bees in thick swannes light VVhen Flora Tellus beauty doth vnfold So many men wiues children poore and rich All run to serue the will of this proud witch 29. Some were deceaued with her hipocrisie Some came for feare of danger some for gaine None durst oppose himselfe Oh misery To her that had so many martyrs slaine So that more furious euery day then other Shee growes and truth with cruelty doth smother 30. Makes marchandise of soules sells sinne for meed Tecelius was her her factor for these wares Giuing indulgence for each hainous deed More then God would or Satan durst he dares All men were mute but Luther could not quiet His pen and tongue seeing him so proudly riot 31. Hath God quoth he giuen life to spend in sloth And sullen feare shall they so tyranize In shameles error I remaine so loth Truth to defend with my poore faculties Both wit and speech from Gods free grace are giuen And therefore should maintaine the lawes of heauen 32. They were not worldly wise which taught me first Stoicks or Accademicks they might erre But from truths ho●y fountaine with deepe thirst I drew the doctrine which I le now deliuer For truth and all that loue her I le aduenture To see whether Gods or men this griefe wil cure 33. And sure but from some heauenly institution This holy zeale comes not away vain feares I le passe the pikes of persecution He seemd to say thus much while trickling teares Bedewd his reuerend face his eyes bright flame Shewd Others sin mooud him to greef and shame 34. Religion made this hungry monsters prey Made him to pitty men so much opprest So that he seems to think what he would say To curb her madnes and reforme the rest Yet humane weaknes ouertakes his mind Conceiuing those great perills he should find 35. It may be thus he thought how rash am I When all dissembling sleep to rise alone Yet right religious loue with sacred fury Knowledge with zeale drew faith and boldnes on When he beheld such was their impious guise The Temple made a shop for marchandise 36 Thus being incensed with diuinest heat Which could not see and suffer such prophanesse He shakes the Tyrants falsly-grounded seat Opens her cunning plots reprooues her vainesse His flock but heares and yeelds to what he said His aduersary stands astonished 37. Next him did Zui●glius full of holy courage Rise casting seeds of truth in mens pure harts Vsing Gods sword which beares a double edge He batting brings to nougther armes and arts He tought and fought he faire and hard meanes tried Till for his faith and countries cause he dyed 38. Next him stood Caluin clad in sacred armes Thundring out vengeance gainst Romes vsurpation His heart and pen a zelous anger warmes His words were followed with much approbation You might behold the beast fearefully shaking And her selfe-guilty troopes the field forsaking 39. As Turtle-Doues on some high trees and Towers With wanton murmur seem to kiss and speak In their kind language testifying loues powers When they shall heare Ioues thunder-beare break The cleere ayre with strong wings forget their sport And with swift speed vnto their nest resort 40. So fled the fiends On the other side with art Iris had wouen the surgefull Ocean streams In which the British Iland stood apart From all the world In midst whereof high IAMES Sate on his auntient Adamantine throne Trampling the neck of crowned Babylon 41. She mad with griefe and shame writhes her fowle traine Hither and thither to get liberty And with fell poison doth her place distaine And sliding thence at length not furiously As heretofore in threats or arms doth rise But mischiefe plots and treasons doth deuise 42. As when the Plow a big-swoln Snake sore squeeseth Shee writhes and slowly drawes her loines along Her body faints and pants her life-blood freezeth Yet her heart rageth and her three-fork't tongue Hisseth out spite her eyes and mouth flame fires Babell when she can least most euill desires 43. Wit in this web had other works inuented As racks swords flames prisons strange instruments Of death wherewith good-liuers were tormented With sundry kinds of dreadfull punishments Princes at length find out this Tyrants pride Pluck all her plumes her nakednesse deride 44. The light of holy Truth seem'd then to shine About the borders of this wondrous cloathing Where likewise embroidered with gemmes fine A Canticle that all heauens quire should sing The Palatine with Britaine ioin'd shall bring Earths golden daies againe Times blessed spring 45. Which when th' immortall squadron had well seene All rancktin order leaues th'Emperial Towers Mouing their nimble spirits the spheres betweene Iris then leades them to the Planets bowers Inuoking their asistant influence To blesse their proiects with due consequence 46. Her feet whom winges and purple buskins grace Slide through the milkie paths which Gods oft walk Then raine-bow like she winds her circled race That this faire company no starres might balk Then all the fixt and wandring starres consented To make men by this marriage full contented 47. On their left hand they left

Therefore when Hermes cal'd the starry peeres As he was wont by mighty Ioues decree This holy Conclaue in full state appeares Cloath'd in nevv stately robes for their degree Passing the Firmaments bright Galaxie Striuing who should exceed in Maiestie 10. First heauens great King takes his Imperiall stall His Queen and sister Iuno then hath place Grandame Cybele sits next fear'd of all Then Sol being past the Zones and Zodiak space Lights from his Coach drawn by fowrfire-breath'd steeds Puts off his beames puts on his Councell weeds 11. Iuy-crown'd Bacchus from sweet Hamus vines Yoking fierce Leopards arriues with glory Castor and Pollux feather'd Laedas twins Met who meet seldome in this consistory Hither Alcides with his Lyons trame Came borne on frosty Boreas bright-beam'd waine 12. Cynthia left hunting on Arcadia dovvnes And wel-kept woods to grace her golden sphere Brain-bred Minerua laid aside her frownes Although then arm'd with snakie Gorgons haire Rough Mars growne milde came clad in complete steele Ceres forsook her sith Fortune her wheele 13. Hither came Venus Beauties gracefull Queen Accompanied with Cupids dreadfull powre Neere her was Hebe Iuno's daughter seen Adorn'd with scarlet robes and Youths faire flowre Chloris that crownes the spring Maia the bright And she that brings well-formed babes to light 14. Aeole that pens in prison the rude winde Proteus which heer doth his firm shape retaine Neptune with his ag'd Parents welny blind Faire Cimothe with all the sea-gods traine The Nymphes of trees hils with neat-kemd haire Heere merry Pan swift Fawnes bold Satyrs are 15. The Mountaine Pales and the Syluan God Vulcan though lame yet quick in fliut-found fire Siluer tong'd Hermes with his golden rodde The spirit of rest and plenteous peace drew nigher Honor and Reuerence with humbled eyes And sun-bright Maiesty which neuer dies 16. Still cheerfull Concord Faith which neuer fain'd Well-meaning soone-entreated Honestie True Iustice which by wrong-doing neuer gain'd With Phoebus Heliconian company New-rich-attired All tooke their seuerall places And gaue right oracles in doubtfull cases 17. At last who should be first in Parliament In came Religion with sad looke soft pace Deepe sighes moyst eyes pale cheeks haire and cloaths rent Submissiue gesture and deuotest grace Her followers were Sins-grief Shames-feare Worlds-pain She lean'd on Truth wan Hope held vp her traine 18. Like Cynthia smother'd in a dropping cloud Or Sol when Phaeton Earths-face did burne In cole-black night his glorious beams did shrowd So did Religion look so did she mourne All-seeing Ioue beholding her vexation Scarse held from teares in Fatherly compassion 19. Yet hiding his hearts griefe with pleasing cheere Bespeaks her sad care saying Daughter what ailes thee Whence come the teares I see the sighs I heare How chance thy comelinesse thy colour failes thee Who durst wrong thee or thine the Giants it may be Sweet say the cause haue risen from earth to fray thee 20. She welny sinking in a deadly swoune When sorrowing sobs would let her tell her mone Begins yet weeps lifts vp her eyes looks downe Then said And is my cause as yet vnknown All wonder-working Ioue heare help relieue vs Only thou canst and punish them that greiue vs. 21. It is not Grandame Earth nor that huge brood Sprung of thy seed and hers which wrought mine harms But worse far worse Dis which did neuer good With craft and force his foul-mouthd legions armes And will not let me raigne or barely rest me Orbide on earth so much doth he detest she 22. No sooner can I driue him out my soyle But Hydra-like he comes with greater forces And growes more spightfull ragefull with his foyle More dangerous politick in diuelish courses So that although my words renew my paine Yet is my griefe so great I must complaine 23. At thy command you Gods that guide this round Attend with gentlenesse my dolefull tale Myne aduersary driuen from off the ground Where he had raingd by wrong and wroughting bale Madded with pride and hate could not endure Himself so banisht my throne so secure 24. But fuming foaming gnashing breathing flame Hee testifies his rage with open iawes Hee chafes and snuffs hee roares and howles for shame Hee beats his poysned brest with both his pawes He bites his lips and rends his ougly locks His cries at heauen his ghosts at hel-gates knocks 25. His pride-swolne spleen more fierce then his own fire Could not but bellow thus in vawtes of night Wa' st not enough that I which once was higher Then any creature both by birth and might Should first be cast from heauen then driuen to hell In euerlasting darkenesse there to dwell 26. But that I should be thrust from out my chaire Purchast by warre and long in peace possest What title reason right can they declare Although for vprightnes they would be blest Their word 's their law their will 's their equity Dis wil not suffer this indignity 27. While wit or sword will serue I 'le claime earths throne To moue mine anger thus it may repent them Being more they got the feild the right 's mine owne Where then war could not wisdome shall preuent them It neuer shal be said the Diuell assaild Gaue ore his cause his hart or weapons faild 28. Let pitious Piety looke vnto her part Reuenge adds force I 'le make a second venter My smart shall cause more then my selfe to smart The more she driues me thence the more I 'le enter Such is my will Ioue keepe thy firmament Thou shalt not keepe in peace Earths regiment 29. This sai'd he stai'd and calld the damned spirits The Goblins Faeries Furies and their Dam Exaggerates his false pretended rights Dilating his deare losse and far-spred shame Go forth said he my braue Tartareons elues My shape my pride my gard aduance your selues 30. Make iulstre-entrance in your former states Recouer your lost honor wreak your spites Regaine your subiects open our wide gates Restore new altars for your auncient rites By strength or cunning make my power some way Doe good or ill so that I win the day 31. My victorie shall iudge their cause the worse Let Fate obey my words Fortune my lust Let me but conquer Let heauen earth Ioue curse Scarse heard the furies this but in they thrust And light their Ebon torches in hot lime-stone Flaming salt peeter all-consuming brimstone 32. Adding the foame of Cerbrus triple iaw The most ilsauoring sink of Lernafen The venomus vomit of Chimera's maw Which burning bred annoy to Gods and men Mustring their hellish-ranks an hundreth plagues A thousand hel-hounds with ten thousand hags 33. Tisiphone threw snakes and fire brands With whips of steele to moue their fiercenesse on So that all cried arme arme none doubtfull stands But fly from hell to camp in Babylon And there in spite of truth which all controlls Will either loose them-selues or win mens soules 34.

Thy royall brest scorns worth by meere opinion Nor holds chiefe honor to possesse a Crowne Thy honor'd thoughts are how to raise Religion And in thy kingdomes pull Abuses downe In thee gods feare with innate Piety And mild aspect is mixt with Maiesty 90.
