trust vnto his heeles or els in Smithfield fry 6 Not he but thousandes of his sect must to Geneua seeke The wrestlyng of the Gospell wrong preuayles them not a lecke The Christian answer These be the fruites of Papists blynde loe here the hartes of those Whose traitrous slaundring tonges do shew they are prefest Gods foes Of Sathans seede which loueth lyes and sclaunders to blase out Against the truth and Church of God I put you out of dout Whose eyes do weere and téeth do gnashe at sincere Preachers true Because they see what good successe doth after them ensue This Maister VVyborne well is knowne thou Papist to thy shame And all the rable of thy rout that seekest him to defame To ●e a man of learning graue of iudgement sound and right A maryed Minister he is of lyuing most vpright A worthy Pastor of Gods flocke a zealous teacher knowne Which hath in deede by studious payne much popery ouerthrowne A modest man and curteous of gentle sprits and milds Who séekes the hurt I dare wel

where thou saiest he sought to pull the Easter downe to ground His doctrine tended your abuse of Easter to confound Which feast no dout you much poluts but he sought to erect The simple sincere truth of Christ which you do all reiect Like Romish Rebels hopyng styll the darkning of thys day But first I trust all popish knaues shall be the gallowes pray And where thou sayest thou darst pronounce that time the truth shall trye That VVyborne must trust to his héeles or els in Smithfielde fry This happy time hath tryed in déede out truth to your decay And to the ruine of your rout which hope but for a day Your sacke of lies is ransackt now your ware appeareth drosse You leane vpon a broken staffe Gods truth bringes you to losse And time hath lent by Gods good grace such comfort for the nonce That all Gods Preachers shall not neede abrode to lay their bones Their safegarde sure in England is they neede not feare the fier Although the Papistes do begin to hang a litle hyer God hath reueald your counsels fooles God hath layd open now Your traitrous harts which vnto God and Queene will neuer bow Darst thou pronounce thou traitor hold that VVyborne hence must flee Is neither godly feare at

Gods Sayntes to kyll and slay Stay Papist packe vp Holburne hill for you the fitter way Shal VVyborne trust vnto his héeles No VVyborne trust in God And Carts shall trusse vp these in time to Tyburne loade by loade Shal thousands packe for feare of you thou Traytour darst thou say When thou thine hast well obtaynd old Saturnes second day There is no cause God haue the prayse but thousandes of his sect Of other landes that worship Christ may here themselues protect And boldnes more encreaseth still through Gods almighty grace When traitrous Papists dare not once to shew their double face For

therefore plucke downe your Pecocks tayle Downe on your knées you Asses stout pray God and Quéene for grace You can no longer now preuayle your practise takes no place It bootes you not to Pius now for mercy for to seeke For you be traytours proude at home his Bul is not worth a léeke Therefore as thousands traitours are by thousands all agree To turne to God or els make hast to scale the gallow tree The papisticall verse 7 The Deuil when he would Christ tempt in Scripture seemed wyse And for him they do Scripture take to mayntayne all their lyes 8 Therefore be packyng pratlyng knaues ▪ your rayling is to playne Commy● your Baltacos to the bag and hye you hence agayne The Christian answer Goliah brought a sword to field which cut his throte in fine And wherwith all maist thou be beate but with this rod of thine The Deuil when he tempted Christ in Scripture semed wyse And therefore thou and Papists all do Scripture cleane despyse An argument right strong no doubt Christ was ●diudgd to
