S. and newly augmented and enlarged by his son, R. S.	Sempill, James, Sir, 1566-1625.; Sempill, Robert, 1595?-1665?	1669 (1669)	Wing S2495; ESTC R220992	14,443	31

heavenly Wife And by his Mother member of Christs body Who thinks not so is but a very Noddy All this Sir John I do but briefly say To let you see that ye play us foul play Priest Well Pack-man though thou bear about that trunk 〈◊〉 fear thou be but some foreloppin Monk Of Luthers lore or crooked Calvins crew And sent abroad such business to brew Transformed in the person of some Pedler Pack-man Now good Sir John in faith I am no medler Nor have I mind nor means so high to mount 〈◊〉 can but read a little and lay a count And seek my meat through many an unknown Maison 〈◊〉 know not what ye call your Kyrie-Laison ●o help me God Sir John I know no better Nor in your Latine can I read one letter I but believe in God and sometimes say Christ help me when I wander out the way Priest R. S. I pray thee Pack-man this much for to tell me Since thou presumes so far for to excell me Were 't not a very reasonable thing If one were going to an earthly King To get forgiveness for some great transgression That he should shortly sute the intercession Of some great Favorite and he for to pass To purchase pardon for his high trespass And not the guilty person to proceed Presumptuously before the King to plead But use his moyen by his Highness Minion Pack-man Sir John that motion is not worth an Onion What if the King shal hear the poor mans sute Should he stand silent as if he were mute No he should prostrate lay his fault before him And he himself for pity should implore him For intercessors ofttimes lurks and lingers Except the pleaders largely fill their fingers There is a Proverb in the Scottish lawes A man a Lyon is in his own cause Though great abuses be in earthly things We must not so abuse the King of Kings Such idle tales my mind doth much molest Priest I pray thee Pack-man hear me out the rest And so this present purpose to conclude Would ye think any man should be that rude To pray to God without Saints mediation It would be thought a great abomination The heavens such hainous pride hath ay abhor'd So proudly to compear before the Lord. Such great presumption God will surely punish That 's not the way his fault for to diminish He must implore our blessed Ladies aide Then she should show her Son what he hath said And so command him go unto his Father That for his sute some comfort he may gather Or else he must employ some Saint or Angel Pack-man Such words I find not in the Evangel Surely Sir John such sayings are but idle Such blasphemy is not in all the Bible To trust your words or Pauls now tel me whether Priest Reject them if they jump not just together Pack-man And so I shal for I can let you see In Pauls Epistle unto Timothie He plainly sayes There is one God and than One Mediator between God and man This same is He which is the man Christ Jesus And he from death to life can only raise us Since he redeem'd us as our elder brother Pray as ye please I 'll never seek another R. I. S. And so what e're I have what e're I want I neither pray to He nor to she Saint And as for tongues I have but one no more And wit ye well albeit I had ten score I would use all conform to Pauls commanding Pray with my tongue pray with my understanding Think ye these twelve when they receiv'd these tongues Did talk like Parrets or like barrel bungs Yeelding a sound not knowing what they said Idle in preaching idler when they pray'd No each of them knew well what he did say And why not we Sir John as well as they For since all men have one tongue at command Should we seek tongues we do not understand Alace Sir John had I been train'd at school As I am but a simple ignorant fool An hundred questions more I might have moved But here I cease fearing to be reproved For these few doubts I learn'd in diverse places Thinking the Clergy-men would clear all cases Priest Now Pack-man I confess thou puts me to it But one thing I will tell thee if thou 'lt do it Thou shalt come to our holy Prior Pack-man And he perhaps will buy all on thy back man And teach thee better how to pray then any For such an holy man there are not many Be here to morrow just 'tween six and seven And thou wilt find thy self half way to heaven Pack-man Content quoth I but there is something more I must have your opinion in before In case the holy Prior have no leasure To speak of every purpose at our pleasure There was but one tongue at the birth of Abel And many at the building up of Babel A wicked work which God would have confoūded But when Christ came all tongues again resounded To build his Church by his Apostles teaching Why not in praying as well as in preaching Since prayer is the true and full perfection Of holy service saving your correction So if our Lord to mine own tongue be ready What need I then with Latine trouble our Lady Or if both these my prayers must be in I pray thee tell me at whom to begin And to pray joyntly to them both as one Your Latine prayers then are quickly gone For Pater noster never will accord With her nor Ave Mary with our Lord. If I get him what need I seek another Or dare he do nothing without his Mother And this Sir John was once in question Disputed long with deep digestion Whether the Pater noster should be said To God or to our Ladie when they pray'd When Master Mare of learn'd Diversitie Was Rector of our University They sate so long they cooled all their kail Until the Master Cook heard of the tale Who like a mad-man ran amongst the Clergie Crying with many a Domine me asperge To give the Pater noster to the Father And to our Ladie give the Avees rather And like a Welsh-man swore a great Saint Davies She might content Her well with Creeds Avees And so the Clergie fearing more confusion Were all contented with the Cooks conclusion Priest Pack-man this Tale is coyned of the new Pack-man Sir John I 'll quyte the pack if 't be not true Again Sir John ye learned Monks may read How Christ himself taught us of his own head That every soul that was with sin opprest Should come to him and he would give them rest Come all to me saith he not to another Come all to me saith he not to my Mother And if I do all as Christ did command it I hope her Ladiship will not withstand it And so Sir John if I should speak in Latine Unto the Lord at Even-song and at Matine And never understand what I were saying Think ye the Lord would take this for true

S. Into the Gospel Take ye Eat ye Christ saith For which Receive ye Swallow ye your Priest saith See how by Popes the Sacraments are driven Where Christ makes two they ad five so make sevē For Baptism and the Supper of the Lord These only two did Christ to us afford With Christ his institution not content To these two true five bastards they augment A bastards name doth duly them befit For they were never reabled as yet Nor ever shal but still will be abhor'd Because they have no warrant from the Lord As Confirmation Pennance Extreme Unction With Priestly Orders to adorn their function And Matrimony they maintain as one But here 's a wondrous thing to think upon How Popes do call themselves Sorvi servorum Yet in procession keep a strange Docorum They tread on necks of Kings upon the street And forcing Emperors to kiss their feet Doth God the Father in his Law allow These vile inventions your Church doth avow Doth Christ his Son into his Gospel give Such wayes to walk in such faith to believe Or doth the holy Ghost in us inspire More then the Law and Gospel doth require The Father hath prescriv'd to us a Law To keep us in obedience and aw And Christ his Son our Savior did provide us His glorious Gospel always for to guide us The holy Ghost doth from them both proceed To guard us from our sins in time of need If we transgress the Law of God the Father Then neither grace nor comfort can we gather If we believe not in his only Son Then our belief is doubtlesly undone And if we breath not of the holy Ghost Then is our labor all our life-time lost But Gods Commandements your Kirk renverses Some she conjoyns and others she disperses She trusts in Saints and Angels many one And should trust in the Trinity alone Wherefore Gods holy Sprit can nev'r attend her Nor in distress or danger ev'r defend her And though she reign a while in pompe and pride I hope in God my good and gracious guide To her the true Religion hee 'll advance Ere long and bring her out of ignorance Wherein she hath these many hundreth years Lyen wilfully which manifest appears By her unwillingness from thence to part She is so obdurate and hard of heart So that except God by his mighty hand Her power her pride and cruelty withstand And force her from her filthiness to flie Of errors great and gross idolatrie So if she follow not Christs true instruction I fear her final dangerous destruction Which God forbid I hope in his own time Hee 'll both forgive and purge her of all crime Heard ever ye Sir John a purpose quicker To prove the Pope to be Christs only Vicar S.
