OF late I perused / two purposes severall In their kyndes clerkely handeled / the truth for to tell Trolle awaye and Trolle in / men do them call Treatyng upon mater / concernyng the late Crumwell The one utterly myndyng / the other to repell Trolle away (the trouth is) moche touched the quycke And Trolle in (somwhat galled) began for to kycke. yet Trolle away tolde trouth / it can not be denyed Declaryng the offence / wherin Crumwell offended Trolle in beyng troubled / whan he it espyed With trollynges to cover it / full subtelly contended Some trollers there be / I wolde were amended For who that craftely covereth / any others offence Of lykelyhode / in his owne herte / hath the same pretence. Truly to trolle / it is no maner of shame And trollyng untrue / is not to be mayntayned As every thyng is / so to gyve it propre name Amonges all true honest men / shulde not be disdayned The scripture so techeth us / it can not be fayned Agaynst scripture who stryveth / he is none other lyke Than a traytoure to his prince / and to god an heretyke. I entende not to trolle / to take any parte Divisyon to encreace / it nedeth nothyng But sorowfully syghyng / I trolle in my harte With my selfe in mynde / many tymes revolvyng How god to us / hath ordayned the most noble kyng Who uniformly to knyt us / hath traveyled full sore yet many trifelyng trollers / care lytell therfore. But as trollers troubelous 1 and full of envy At the lawes of god / and of our good kyng In their trollynges do trust / yet that their olde heresy All good ordrys set aparte / shall florisshe and sprynge Their prechers / no lesse conforte / in their sermons do brynge Even lately exhortyng them / avoydyng all drede And persecution not regardyng / throughly to procede. With many wordes more troublous / than now I wyll reherce Not doutyng at all / but at length they shal be knowen Suche trollyng trecherous / my herte doth sore perce Consyderyng howe sedicyously / amonges us they besowen Of late I well trusted / they had ben over blowen But now I well parceyve / that neither favour nor smarte From the body can expell / that is rooted in the harte. A trewe trollyng hert / wolde be loth to pretende Any purpose to mayntayne / agaynst god or his kyng The confessyon of an heretyke / that lately dyd offende And amonges others / suffred for his deservyng Secretly they embrace / as a most precyous thyng And yet playnly wyll I prove / by good lawe and reason Contayned therin / both heresy and treason. Ve qui di- citis bonum malum et malum bo num. Esa. quinto.
In any wyse imprynted / they wyll not it shall be The daungers therof in themselves mystrustynge Wherfore every man may well perceyve and se What hertes they do beare to god and our good kynge Every of them secretly must have it in wrytynge But Chryst sayeth verely there is nothynge conceled But at length shal be knowen / and openly reveled. Who against them trolleth / a Papyst they him name They have no other thing / themselves for to defende I wolde that all Papystes / had an open shame And that all heretykes / themselves wold amende Than shuld we have no cause / further to contende But uniformly to lyve / the one with the other And joyfully to enhabyt / as brother with brother. Such shuld be our trollynges / Christ us so teacheth Commaunding ever peace / amonges us for to be Untruly he trolleth / that otherwyse preacheth Styreng to any sedicion / malyce or envye Where banisshed is discorde / and raygneth all charite That realme in god resteth / and god is in it / Being charite him selfe / as sayth the holy writ. Than towardes that charite / trolle we on a pace Avauncyng ourselves / with all convenyent spede A more acceptable pilgrimage / surely never was For which god gave to man / any meryte or mede Our labour or gret burden / let us nothing drede Nor regarding the wylfulnes / of our body or flesshe For at the jorneyes ende / Christ wyll us refresshe. And than as true trollers / togither let us remayne Parfectly fast knyt / in one peace / unyte and love With glory unto god / evermore glad and fayne Our noble Prince truly to serve / as doth us behove And all others to tendre / as duty doth us move Usyng styll amonge us / the selfe same love and concorde Which is to us commaunded / by Christ the eternall lorde. And nowe in that love / let us all with one voyce pray For the preservacion of Henry our most noble kyng And Katheren our Quene / that they togither may Prosperously contynue / to their hertes desyring And Edward our Prince / that most angelyke thing That they all togither may longe lyve and rest And after with him to raygne / qui in celis est.
