To preach the word to great and small,
he euermore was waking;
By day, by night, by sea, by land,
by pen and eke by mouth.
Though perils great were oft at hand,
yet publish'd he the truth:
Foure speciall iourneies did he make,
in lesser Asia one,
And twice he cross'd the * 1.1Graecian lake,
and then to Rome is gone.
With him also the holy Ghost,
[cap. 13] set Barnabas apart,
Their charge was in the heathen coast,
the Gentiles to conuert.
From Antioch they first set out
and vnto Paphos came:
Where Sergius to the faith was brought,
and Elymas to shame.
Then in Pisidia did he preach,
and in Iconion
[cap. 14] He staied long, and still did teach,
till stirres cause him be gone.
[cap. 14] Thence did hee vnto Listra flee,
* 1.2 and there he heal'd the lame,
For which, a god, then ston'd, but he,
thence backe to Antioch came.
Th'Apostles at Ierusalem
[cap. 15] did now a Councell call,
Page 75
A false opinion to condemne
which did the Church befall.
A second iourney they intend,
but Iohn Marke doth diuide them:
Barnabas doth to Cyprus bend,
but Paul and Silas hide them
Through Syria and Silicia,
and with them they consort
Yong Timothe, of whom they haue, [Cap. 16]
a speciall good report.
To Macedonia by night,
they called were and sent,
The Diuell there giues God his right,
there ••ydia doth repent,
And eke the Iailor: foorthwith they
to Thessalonica come,
Noble Berea next with ioy [Cap. 17]
doth lend them eares and rome.
In Athens next he did dispute, [Cap. 18]
* 1.3 and thence to Corinth came,
With Aquila he there doth sute,
and Crispus christian frame.
There Gallio doth shift his hand,
though hardly Iewes complaine.
* 1.4 So, backe he goes to Syria, and
to Antioch againe.
