O Heresy, with frenesy, disobedience and pride. Hast lead mans mind, with fancies blind headlong runnyng farre wyde, From the pathway, to Christ, I saye o fonde folish vayne guyde. Brought many one, to perdicion, to play a desperate parte, Made devition, in eche Region, a false traitour thou arte, To God above, the knotte of love to Christ Church to subvert. The Sacramentes, our regimentes, of health .vii. giftes of grace, when we doo fall, through synne, to call for them, our great solace, A remedie, for eche degree, Gods fovour to pourchace. Babtisme is one: Confirmation: with trew Penaunce certayne: wedlocke to endure: Presthod most pure: Christ body to remayne: At our last ende, suche grace God sende, Extreme Unction to attayne. By which all we, membres knitte be to Christ, our most chiefe head, In unitie, through his Bodie, which dyde for quicke and dead: Christs Church likewise, doth Sacrifise the same, in fourme of bread. Very flesh and blood, our daily food, in us to byde and dwell, Bi whom we move, live ever through love in vertew to excell. The other dead be, not in this bodie, shall perish, and burne in hell. O infidell, darest thou rebell, against Christes humane body: Thymage to grave, pictures to have, thou calst ydolatry. The layemans booke, theron to looke, to folow their lyves by. God doth forbed, ydoles indede: for ydolatry playne, Doth signify, thynges made therby, not havyng life certayne, which represent, a false entent, that worke of man is vayne. The ymage of man, is Gods worke than praise him in his sayntes daily: Their ymage to make, for vertew sake, no good man can denye. His sayntes livyng, for us praiyng, to have their memory. whose fame immortall, dye never shall: the Just man lyves forever, where the unjust, is scatred like dust. consumed with the wether. whose mortall fame, dyeth with shame, no mention of him never.
O Traitour untrue, to Christ Jesu, his ymage to deface, To set at nought, hym that the bought. thou arte cleane voide of grace: whose remembraunce, thou ought tadvaunce with his sayntes in eche place. whose life & dayes, in penaunce alwayes dyd byde Religiously, In praier by night, with the world to fight, and wunne the victory, Their vow thei kepte, bi the flesh ne slept most chaste Virgens dyd dye. Thou counterfaite, O foule disceate, a false fayth to entende, To breake thy vowe, for thy lust nowe, death needes must be thy ende: Dew execution, to thy confusion, Christ churche for to defende. whose unitie, by antiquitie. universall is knowne, Continewed, from Rome the hed, by trew succession, By Counsels tride, the truthe out spide, of Gods sprite, longe agone. O heresy, thou walkest awrye abrode to gadde or raunge, [L]ike false brethren, deceave children, this Churche, nowe for to chaunge: Her praier by night, to banish quight, with new inventions straunge. To breake also, thy first faith to, through wilfull impietie: For thy debate, excommunicate, from Christ spousesse holy, Thou canst not accord, with thi spouse & lord that livest in advoutry. Runnyng retchlesse. from thy spousesse Christ Churche, most Chatholike, whose company, God kepes truly. to banish the heretike, Her errours all, schismatical out of this churche to strike, From her ne swerve, lest thou do sterve with childer reprobate, whose parentes be, iniquitie, gotte by the sprite debate, Thunlauful spouses, whose workes dout-les, as hypocrites God doth hate. Repent & tourne, your lives refourme Come to Christes Church most trew, with humilitie, reconsilde to be, to the mother of vertew, which night and day, serves God alway, whose faith, her childre ensew. And doo endure, in one pasture, of one folde styll together, Both all and some, lest the wolfe come, them for to discever, From our Pastour, which doth succour, keepe, and defende us ever.
