Jessu wnned ydiw i â—alken Behold O Jesu how white is his forehead thereupon the child replyed and said We le ti am henwaist i Taliesin in ge wâ—r Thou hast given me a name which shall be Taliesin but prodigal Elpnin began to be so rowful at his hard fortune seeing that he had no manner of fish when his father had them in great abundance espâ—cially at such a season of the year Then the young child finding Eâ—phâ—n discontented for his hard fortune began to solace him wiâ—h most divine Exhortations to trust in the living God which never faileth his after these as followeth Then the child was brought along with Elphin to his fatheâ— house where he was nourished and brought up a Scholar and after few years he became Master of all Languages Arts and Learning and also absolute perfect in the knowledge of holy Writs and excellent in the gift of Poetry which he delivered most sweetly in way of Traethiawd wawd or owdwleâ— in high and elegant phrase A Champion for the Protestant Religion which he professed and maintained as appears by his Creed and other writings herein incerted And an enemy to the Church of Rome vehemently exhorting the Clergy and Layety of of the Britains to take heed and beware of the corrupt Doctrine thereof he was a great Prophet as is already expressed This Taliesin made former appearances and bore several names at the first
