Himselfe in his owne hell; and now lets loose
Mans brest (his tenement) and breakes up house.
Yett here's not all: nor was't enough for mee
To freind the living world even death did see
Mee ranging in his quarters; and the land
Of deepest silence answered my command.

Heav'n, Earth, and Sea, my triumphs. what remain'd
Now but the Grave? the Grave it selfe I tam'd.

&c:

THE END.

Nor shall our zealous ones still have a fling

At that most horrible and horned thing,

Forsooth the Pope: by which black name they call

The Turk, the Devil, Furies, Hell and all,

And something more.

O he is Antichrist :

Doubt this, and doubt (say they) that Christ is Christ.

Why, 'tis a point of Faith.

What e're it be,

I'm sure it is no point of Charitie.

In summe, no longer shall our people hope,

To be a true Protestant's, but to hate the Pope.
