Pansophus is a scholler wondrous rare Beside his skill in tongues is past compare For he can speake some of Italian Dutch English Spanish French and Greeke his skil is such In a word he speakes some of nine or ten As for example he can say Amen In Galbum 72.

A Pope may be deceaued I see it now Their Synodes to may erre I le shew you how If that Pope Ioane for certayne had foreseene The time when her deliuerance should haue beene She would haue shun'd a thinge so far vnmeet And not haue falne in trauell in the street Could not their Synodes erre from the truths scope They neuer would haue made a woman Pope In Pontum 80.
