AMBITION

We must poison them, with will works & good in tents. Where as God does say, No siraunge gods thu shalt have, With Saints worshipping, that clause we will deprave. And though he continued ̄ mand, to make no carved image, For a good intent yet will we have pilgrimage. Though he will us not, to take his name in vain, With traditions yet, thereunto will we constrain. No Sabbath will we, with Gods word sanctyfye, But with lyppe labour, and idle ceremony. To father and mother, we may owe non obedience, Our religion is, of so great excellence. Though we do not slee, yet may we heretics burn, If they will not soon, from holy scripture turn. What though it be said. Thu shalt do no fornycacyo ̄ , Yet will we maintain, Much greater abomination Though theft be forbid, yet will we continually, Rob the poor people, through prayer & purgatory God hath inhybyted, to give false testimony, Yet we will condemn, the Gospel for heresy. We should not covet, our neybers House nor wife, His servant nor beast, yet are we therein most rife. Of me ̄ make we swine, by the draff of our tradycyo ̄ S And cause the ̄ nothing, to regard but superstycyo ̄ S. As dogs unreasonable, on most vile carrion fede, So will we cause them, seek idols in their need. And always their grou ̄ de, shall be, for a good inte ̄ to. I trow thu wouldst say, the ij. laws Cyuyle & Can non. The pope for whoredom, hath in Room and Viterbye Of gold and silver, a wonderful substau ̄ ce yearly Tush they be in England, that Much rather would to dwell, Whores in their dyoceses, than the readers of Chri stes Gospel. Then I hold it best, that we always condemn, The Bible readers, least they our acres contemn. Why, what dost thu think, my mytar to sygnyfy?
