he_o come_v to_o my_o mother_n or_o to_o i_o to_o drink_v and_o sure_o if_o her_o milk_n be_v thus_o equal_a in_o value_n price_n and_o merit_n to_o his_o blood_n than_o we_o do_v no_o long_o marvel_n that_o they_o teach_v how_o the_o virgin_n mary_n do_v rise_v from_o the_o dead_a and_o be_v assume_v into_o heaven_n corporal_o that_o as_o christ_n rise_v &_o ascend_v to_o apply_v &_o make_v good_a the_o merit_n of_o his_o death_n so_o do_v she_o also_o to_o make_v effectual_a the_o merit_n of_o her_o milk_n but_o then_o good_a paul_n how_o far_o be_v thou_o to_o blame_v that_o esteem_v all_o

to_o know_v the_o virtue_n of_o her_o assumption_n nay_o it_o may_v be_v thou_o be_v half_o a_o heretic_n and_o believe_v not_o any_o such_o assumption_n but_o if_o thou_o can_v be_v take_v within_o the_o reach_n of_o the_o holy_a inquisition_n thou_o shall_v pay_v well_o for_o such_o thy_o heretical_a incredulity_n if_o now_o thou_o be_v alive_o thy_o better_a and_o more_o holy_a brother_n the_o jesuit_n can_v reprove_v thou_o for_o many_o indiscreet_a passage_n and_o teach_v thou_o better_a divinity_n than_o thou_o seem_v to_o know_v for_o whereas_o thou_o dare_v say_v thou_o esteemd_v to_o know_v nothing_o but_o jesus_n christ_n and_o he_o crucify_v they_o can_v tell_v thou_o thou_o be_v far_o short_a in_o thy_o duty_n and_o but_o cold_a in_o zeal_n in_o respect_n of_o they_o for_o they_o stand_v in_o doubt_n whether_o to_o esteem_v more_o the_o blood_n of_o his_o wound_n or_o the_o milk_n of_o her_o pap_n and_o whereas_o thou_o will_v give_v all_o to_o know_v the_o virtue_n of_o his_o resurrection_n they_o can_v but_o wonder_v at_o thy_o ignorance_n who_o care_v not_o to_o know_v the_o virtue_n of_o her_o resurrection_n &_o ascension_n also_o be_v thou_o content_a to_o know_v the_o one_o they_o for_o their_o part_n will_v know_v both_o and_o if_o thou_o be_v so_o precise_a for_o thy_o master_n that_o thou_o can_v not_o be_v content_a to_o say_v that_o he_o purge_v our_o sin_n but_o must_v exclude_v all_o other_o and_o say_v that_o he_o by_o himself_o purge_v our_o sin_n know_v thou_o that_o they_o dare_v be_v so_o bold_a as_o to_o put_v out_o that_o word_n by_o himself_o out_o of_o the_o text_n and_o when_o they_o read_v thy_o epistle_n they_o be_v half_o ashamed_a to_o see_v what_o a_o bloody_a man_n thou_o be_v for_o thou_o be_v all_o in_o blood_n blood_n insomuch_o as_o twenty_o time_n at_o least_o thou_o be_v still_o upon_o blood_n as_o though_o there_o be_v no_o salvation_n but_o by_o blood_n and_o as_o though_o bless_a mary_n milk_n have_v no_o

etc._n these_o sweet_a and_o gracious_a father_n be_v possess_v with_o a_o better_a spirit_n be_v weary_a of_o blood_n and_o do_v rather_o choose_v and_o desire_v milk_n to_o quench_v the_o spirivall_n thirst_n of_o their_o soul_n if_o they_o will_v utter_v what_o their_o profane_a heart_n think_v or_o discover_v open_o what_o they_o mutter_v among_o themselves_o we_o shall_v hear_v they_o publish_v even_o such_o divinity_n as_o this_o be_v a_o taste_n whereof_o beside_o the_o present_a poem_n you_o shall_v read_v anon_o but_o now_o for_o his_o conclusion_n this_o blaspheme_a jesuit_n dare_v proceed_v and_o turn_v his_o speech_n to_o god_n and_o not_o fear_v the_o commandment_n that_o forbid_v he_o to_o take_v god_n name_n in_o vain_a under_o pain_n of_o stand_v guilty_a at_o the_o bar_n of_o god_n justice_n he_o dare_v offer_v to_o abuse_v the_o name_n of_o god_n with_o such_o a_o prayer_n as_o this_o o_o lord_n thou_o must_v pardon_v i_o though_o i_o cry_v aloud_o for_o it_o be_v not_o blood_n will_v serve_v my_o soul_n i_o long_o for_o milk_n and_o be_o so_o a_o thirst_n that_o i_o may_v not_o keep_v silence_n and_o why_o lord_n shall_v thou_o so_o long_o keep_v i_o a_o petitioner_n in_o this_o case_n i_o be_o better_a than_o the_o nail_n yet_o they_o have_v blood_n enough_o i_o be_o not_o so_o vild_a as_o clout_n yet_o they_o want_v neither_o milk_n nor_o blood_n wat_fw-mi kind_n of_o man_n be_v these_o jesuit_n or_o what_o a_o god_n be_v their_o god_n to_o who_o they_o dare_v present_v such_o a_o prayer_n as_o this_o sure_o they_o think_v as_o base_o of_o he_o as_o they_o do_v high_o of_o themselves_o or_o else_o they_o never_o dare_v thus_o insult_v over_o he_o &_o thus_o abuse_v he_o as_o after_o he_o have_v tell_v he_o plain_o that_o his_o blood_n be_v drink_v indeed_o and_o command_v they_o that_o be_v athirst_a to_o come_v and_o drink_v of_o that_o well_o of_o water_n of_o life_n to_o come_v and_o tell_v he_o to_o his_o face_n that_o their_o soul_n thirst_v for_o milk_n and_o they_o must_v have_v it_o belike_o these_o crawl_a frog_n think_v that_o they_o have_v such_o a_o god_n as_o they_o may_v leap_v and_o play_v upon_o at_o their_o pleasure_n but_o o_o thou_o that_o dwell_v in_o heaven_n laugh_v they_o to_o scorn_n have_v they_o and_o their_o wickedness_n in_o derision_n and_o either_o work_v they_o to_o repentance_n and_o visible_a conversion_n or_o bring_v they_o to_o vengeance_n and_o just_a confusion_n the_o jesuit_n conclude_v with_o a_o comparison_n of_o himself_o to_o the_o nail_n and_o lance_n that_o pierce_v christ_n bless_a body_n and_o the_o clothes_n that_o touch_v he_o in_o his_o infancy_n and_o death_n &_o indeed_o the_o first_o comparison_n be_v not_o much_o unequal_a for_o the_o jesuit_n be_v most_o like_a to_o nail_n &_o lance_n in_o christ_n body_n for_o see_v the_o holy_a ghost_n tell_v we_o that_o wicked_a man_n by_o their_o sin_n do_v and_o do_v pierce_v christ_n then_o the_o jesuit_n who_o by_o their_o atheism_n cruelty_n perjury_n equivocation_n treason_n have_v be_v sharp_a nail_n and_o lance_n in_o christ_n body_n and_o great_a dishonourer_n of_o his_o religion_n than_o any_o other_o sort_n of_o man_n if_o the_o voice_n of_o all_o christendom_n &_o the_o testimony_n of_o their_o own_o brother_n be_v true_a then_o the_o jesuit_n i_o say_v be_v not_o unfit_o resemble_v to_o nail_n and_o lance_n and_o indeed_o they_o that_o be_v thorn_n in_o the_o eye_n and_o prick_v in_o the_o side_n of_o all_o prince_n and_o state_n where_o they_o come_v less_o marvel_n though_o they_o be_v like_o the_o nail_n and_o spear_n in_o christ_n body_n therefore_o let_v the_o jesuit_n please_v himself_o in_o this_o comparison_n as_o long_o as_o he_o will_v we_o envy_v it_o not_o but_o for_o the_o second_o that_o he_o be_v better_a than_o the_o clothes_n that_o be_v about_o those_o two_o bless_a body_n i_o say_v but_o this_o that_o either_o the_o jesuit_n be_v far_o more_o holy_a than_o the_o prophet_n esay_n or_o else_o he_o far_o more_o humble_a in_o his_o own_o eye_n than_o they_o for_o he_o profess_v in_o his_o own_o &_o the_o church_n name_n that_o they_o be_v no_o better_o they_o the_o filthy_a clout_n that_o ever_o be_v even_o a_o menstruous_a cloth_n but_o say_v the_o jesuit_n i_o be_o better_a than_o the_o best_a cloth_n that_o ever_o be_v for_o though_o we_o hold_v that_o god_n have_v give_v last_v virtue_n to_o his_o word_n and_o sacrament_n but_o none_o that_o we_o know_v to_o rag_n or_o clout_n yet_o we_o acknowledge_v that_o as_o far_o as_o clothes_n may_v one_o excel_v another_o those_o that_o touch_v the_o body_n of_o our_o lord_n &_o his_o mother_n be_v the_o most_o precious_a and_o if_o we_o can_v be_v sure_o we_o have_v they_o we_o will_v esteem_v they_o above_o cloth_n of_o gold_n we_o therefore_o wonder_v how_o a_o man_n come_v before_o the_o lord_n his_o god_n dare_v in_o his_o prayer_n make_v himself_o better_a than_o those_o clothes_n especial_o hear_v the_o prophet_n cry_v before_o he_o o_o lord_n all_o our_o righteousness_n be_v like_o a_o menstruouse_a clout_n if_o our_o best_a be_v so_o filthy_a what_o be_v our_o nature_n what_o be_v our_o sin_n if_o he_o answer_v that_o this_o be_v but_o a_o cavil_n for_o he_o mean_v that_o be_v a_o man_n

this_o doctrine_n else_o they_o that_o boast_v themselves_o to_o be_v successor_n of_o thy_o brother_n peter_n may_v be_v ashamed_a of_o they_o who_o tell_v we_o that_o our_o sin_n be_v wash_v away_o

a_o derive_v virtue_n from_o another_o and_o that_o the_o original_n and_o fundamental_a power_n be_v only_o and_o whole_o in_o christ_n and_o his_o blood_n if_o it_o be_v so_o it_o be_v less_o evil_a though_o christ_n jesus_n may_v not_o nor_o will_v not_o bestow_v the_o prerogative_n of_o his_o mediatorship_n on_o any_o creature_n but_o look_v and_o wade_v over_o the_o word_n again_o and_o
