¶ An answer at large to a most hereticall trayterous and Papisticall Byll in English verse which was cast abrode in the streetes of Northamton and brought before the Iudges at the last Assises there 1570. Imprinted at London by Iohn Awdelye ¶ An aunswere at large to a most heretical trayterous and papisticall Byll written in English verse ¶ The papisticall verse 1 How now my Maisters maryed Priestes how lyke you of these newes You must forsake your wicked synes your wyues must to the stewes The Christian aunswer Such thoughtes such wordes such men such deedes such faith such fruites appeare Such mind such moode such harts such feates as Papistes shew you heare The filthye image of their mindes their poisoned tonges bewray As Gospell getteth good successe and Popery doth decay Still spuing out the spirit of spite whose loue Gods lawes defies Which hate the thing that God doth loue and what God doth despise That they maintaine against his word by Canons of the Pope For whose behoofe some haue of late bene sensed in a rope Because Gods word hath cast a downe their Priests of Romish Ball With whom the vice of whoredome is estéemd no vice at all But Mariage which God hath made for man to liue well in Which also he hath sanctified they do condemne as sin They spit out spitefull rage at this as all men now may see For that that Christ doth make hys Church from popish bondage free His Ministers and Preachers true haue libertie no lesse Then other men to take them wiues as Paule doth well expresse But they of Ministers make scorne resemblyng Aarons breed Though Christ becam the final Priest by shedding of his blood And brought that office to an end appointing others iust To serue him in his ministrie such as his Church might trust Not Balams brood of Iudas sect not Romish shauelinges sure Which vnto vile Sodomitrie do all men so alure Whose Gotish church is common Stewes of Fornication vile In which who séekes Gods lawes to kéepe can tarie but a while But Ministers of Misteries no Sacrifice to giue But such as séeke by Gods true hestes most holylye to liue Not like to Priestes but like to men so mortified by grace That Romish boarish lecherie in them can take no place Which haue ech one his maried wife with bed most vndefiled As Paule doth teach to euery man which whoredome hath exiled And therefore Popish Sicophant that newes doost spread a pace That Christian men must vertu leaue and honestie deface All men do sée your beastly lyues which you were best forsake Least that your porcion be full sore amydst the firy lake You that like double Traitours gaspe for time of your returne And gape for breath hope for change that you the truth might spurne How like you this your knauery is in euery cost espide You romish Priestes which haue no wyues all Christians you deride And these be newes for you take hede leaue of repent amend God hath disclosed your vilanie and hastened hath your end Now must you leaue the Romish stewes and eke your God the Pope Or els prepare your selues to wyn a gybbet with a rope Now take you wiues leaue romish stewes and learne to lyue well For why adulterous whoremongers for aye shall hang in hell The papisticall verse 2 What neede our women now take care what life they go or leade Sithe euery preaching knaue must haue a whoore in house to treade The Christian aunswer Such hart still sée such study bent such study such deuise Such thought such mocion of the mind such question doth arise All Papistes shame at this demaund which haue the sparke of grace To heare such hainous wordes blowne out from such a shameles face When euer was there lesse regard of chaste lyfe then was then When Dispensatiōs made the Priests lyue more like beastes then men When euery Priest had not his wyfe ▪ but many Priestes ten whoores When priestly lecherie did defile their honest neighbours doores When neither mayd nor maried wyfe in honest life could stand If shorne shaueling might deuise to haue them vnder hand When one Priest had two dosen of whoores to vse them at his wyll And scotfree scapt in Boners dayes and kept his liuyng styll Then where was care oh where was grace surely they were exiled And that made many a virgin then by Priestes to be defiled Remember well this old prouerbe of Shauelings great abuses That Priestes Doues wher euer they come make very filthy houses But beastly man what words be these what monstrous hart or minde To cast out such inhumaine speeche so far beyond all kinde Are Preachers now with you but knaues fye Papistes blush at this The Preacher is the Trumpe of God this sure is spoke amis A lying knaue a brauling knaue a romish knaue more fyt But sure thys Epithite thou adst without reason or wyt For Epithites we adde to shew the nature force and kinde Of men of things and wordes as we in Rethoricke rules do finde But contraries for Epithites wyse men do neuer place Epithetons of lyke must be to shew of wordes the grace Preaching a woord of Maiestie and Knaue doo disagrée Although a Knaue hath ioynd them thus from wyt and learning frée A sclaunderous knaue a foolish knaue a foule malicious knaue These Epithites may sound more fyt for him that thus doth raue Which doth enuy Gods preached word a blynde erronious elfe Which hath with that vile hoore of Rome no dout bewitch him selfe Which flattering whoore that Serpentine full often hath bene trode Whose fruites brood throughout the world are now disperst abrode Marke these newes then ye popish brood feare God repent I say Dread Christ and leaue your trade in time ▪ least halter be your pay The papisticall verse 3 Here is not now a strumpet whoore in all the land to haue They are so sodainly snatched vp with some Geneua Knaue The Christian answer The lying toung doth slay the soule sayth Salomon the wyse Shall Papists then escape trow you which all delight in lyes There is not now a strumpet whoore saith he in all the land Which f●lse reproch from whence it comes all men may vnderstand Of proposicion false proceedes conclusion must vile Which Papists sclaūders would maintaine but Papist stay a while To many whoores are yet to finde if Gods wyll were not so Although when Poperie raignd there were ten times as many mo It is no shame that whores decrease but shame it is to see All Papists haue such whoorish hartes as now appeares in thee When Pope bare rule whoores were mayntaynd then whoores did much augment But now I trust that Christ beares rule all whoores wyll soone be spent Though Papistes more delight in whoores lyke knaues méere bestiall Then in the maried Matrons lyfe which vertue passeth all And though the Pope and Romish filthes in Rome haue open Stewes If in Geneua Pope should dwell he should heare
