The Protestants answere.
WHen Rome returnes to Christ againe,
and be as once it did remaine:* 1.1
I meane, when Paul to them did write,
and when that fifteene Popes in sight,* 1.2
Did suffer for the Gospell pure,
England for truth you may be sure,
Will ioyne and ioy with Rome againe,
with Italy, with Fraunce and Spaine:
And Antichrist shall be cast downe,* 1.3
which now doth weare yt triple crowne.
