The Papistes bill. HOw now my maisters maryed Priestes, How like you of these newes? You must forsake your wicked lyves, Your wyves must to the stewes. The Aunswer. How now my masters popish Priestes, How like you of these newes? You must forsake your Sodomites lives, For down is gone your stewes. 2. The papisticall byll. What neede our women now take care, What life they now do leade? Since every preaching knave must have A whoore in house to treade. 2. The Protestant. What neede our men now to take care, What way they go or treade, For those Priests which wer whormongers Must now marry wife or maide. 3. The Papist. There is not now a strumpet whore, In all the land to have: They are sodainly snatched up, With some Geneva knave. 3. The Protestant. Sithe there is now no strumpet whore, In England for to have: Speake well then of the Gospell good, And do no more so rave. 4. The Papist. Maister Wiborne, alias tiborne ticke, There dwelleth in this towne: Which sought by all the meanes he coulde, The Easter to plucke downe. 4. The Protestant. And where that godly Preacher sought, There dwelling in that towne: Your knaverie and hipocrisie, At Easter to plucke downe. 5. The papist. But I of him dare well pronounce, And time the truth shall trie: That he shall trust unto his heeles, Or els in Smithfield frie. 5. The protestant. For this of him you dare pronounce, And thousandes of his side: Not like to CHRIST, but to the Pope, Who loves to see Christ fride.
6. The papist. Not he, but thousandes of his sect, Must to Geneva seeke: The wrestling of the Gospell wrong, Prevailes them not a leeke. 6. The Protestant. If that in Rome and Geneva The whoores were all well sene: The wrestling of the Gospell pure, By that men might well deeme. 7. The Papist. The Devil when he would Christ attempt, In Scripture seemed wyse: And for him they the Scriptures take, To maintaine all their lyes. 7. The Protestant. CHRIST, when the devil did him tempt, By Scripture did confute: But Papistes passe on that no lesse, Then Fawkners on Hawkes mute. 8. The Papist. Therefore be packing pratyng knaves, Your rayling is to playne: Commit your Bastards to the bag, And hye you hence agayne. 8. The Protestant Saint Frances preaching to the Birdes, All countries hath well spyde: So as if Fooles should be hanged up, The Papistes sure should ryde. 9. The Papist. And where I tolde you of your wyves, Take you for them no care: Shift for your selves, and trudge with spede Least halter be your share. 9. The Protestant. Idolatrie and adulterie, For them you take no care, But every godly common wealth, May wysh such tyborne fare.
10. The Papist. FINIS. quod Non est Inventus. 10. The protestant. FINIS. Coronat opus, Exitus acta probat. Imprynted at London by John Awdely dwellyng in litle Britain streete wythout Alders- gate. 1570. Three helps de vised by the Pope for his Mayden Priestes. FIrst that Priestes myght examine in confessions, wyves, & Maydes of theyr whoredom, & by that they knewe to make their bar- gaynes, and the people loo- king on, must thinke it con- fession, and commiting the like with them, they had po wer to geve them a knavish absolucion. 2 The seconde helpe ap- peareth Glos in Caus.ii.q 3. cap. Absit: That if any of hys Clergy should be found embrasing a woman, it must be expounded and presup- posed hee doth it to blesse her. 3 The third helpe, that in everye Citye (lyke as it is now in Rome) one stewes at the least to be permitted. Experientia docet. Doctor Weston in Eng- land, who was burnt, but not with coales, billets, fag- gots, straw, nor reedes. Also, the twoo Mayden Bishops at the last counsell of Trent 1562, beyng ta- ken blessing mens wyves, the one was thrust through wyth a Bores speare, the o- ther hanged out of a wyn- dow, in the sight of all the people.
