IOANNIS KING Episcopi Lon∣dinensis, quicquid mortale est in hoc pulvere componitur.

HICIACET, nisi quis calumnietur, Mendax Transliberinus Ambulator, Transferri Cineres, Fidemque Romam. Et migrâsse semel, simulque utrumque; Praesul Catholicus, sed Orthodoxus. Non partis studiosus, evagari per divortia multa opinionum, Aut Sectas didicit novas creare: Quod si qui fuerint notae prioris, Quos vulgus facit & colit Magistros, His tantâ levitate non adhaesit, Vt persona fide magis placeret: Magna nomina, sed minora semper Isthaec omnia, Veritate duxit. Tantum-non fuit Ille de Locustis, Aut rasis Monachis, pijs que nequam, Vrbem qui gravidâre Septicollem: Qui circum Capitolium strepentes Romanum, velut Anseres sonori, Cygnaeas temerare cantilenas Audent, per modulamen inficetum: Et pro vocibus ultimis Oloris, Commendare suas, & Anserinas. Sed, quod nec Calami, nec Ora centum: Nec Perjuria mille de Duaco; Nec Satan Decumanus ille mendax; Nec tandem Legio Diabolorum, Extorquere suis strophis valebunt: Vnus si Deus est, Fides & vna▪ Huic vni immoriens, & Anglicanae. Quod si quis Logodaedalus profanus, Aut Famae Plagiarius Scelestus, Quicquam Sacrilego reponat ore: Si Vafer Fidei 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉, Qui vult de similâ Deum creare, Et Christum jubet innatare vino: Et sic Hereticos & Orthodoxos Confundit, facit utque symbolizent Plus quam Pythagorae 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉, Seductum crepat hunc Apostatâsse: Tam ventosa Fides videtur illis; Tam ventosus & Ille Christianus; Vt post tot, docilis Senex, aristas, Accessisse putetur imparatus, Infansque, ad Documenta Lessian••. Non plures libet, Arbitros citare, Quam Conscire suum: quod apprecares Testem, Carnificamque, Iudicemque, Illi, quisquis erat Sacer Poeta; An plus crediderit suae Legendae, Quam vulgi pius ille fascinator, Autor plumbeus Aureae Legendae. Quin si jurat idem sat impudenter, Lingua peierat; at quid inde? Mentem Injuratus habet; Scioque habebit. Tis si credideris secus VIATOR, Nugis, Impliciti necessitate Assensus, bibulam fidem recludens, Si quis Ser aphicus propinet Autor; Veternum excutias: & absque tandem Susceptore, tuum pares Adultus Examen, tibi teque cognitorem Ponas, & sapias monente Amico. Sin sis Credulitatis obstinatae, Conclamatus es: ILICET. Deinceps Te Stultum jubeo libenter esse.

In Diem Obitus.

Quem 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉 Domini fecerat Sacriū Diem, Et Mors coronis integri Certaminis: Hunc aeque Amicum Numen indulsit diem. Desider ando, quod prope hic, Capiti, lacet, Quo solveretur Vita vitalis parum. Dolorum utrumque dixeris recte Virum; Hic Saxeam, Ille Ligneam sensit Crucem, Hic intus, Ille bajulans Extra suam: Dolorum, utri{que} Lux posuit una & modii. Quin ipsa Lux haec masculum robur dedi••, Vt nil tremendum Mortis, incuteret metus; Sed Pascha verum, Transitus potius foret, Aeternitati Prodromus. Marmor loquax

Spirat RESVRGAM, Mysticis cand••es Notis: Nec ipse Sadducaeus apparet Lapis. Condit{que} tantum, non Premit Corpus: grave Spes ista superat pondus, & Summum petit; Nec detine bit mole Depositum suâ; Sed sponte ruptus Exitum tandem dabit. Cum Triduanum dormierit. Ipsus tulit Hanc, Christus Olim, Tertiae Lucis moram. (Nec mille Saecla Triduum excedunt Dei.) Sic tota demum, juncta Primitijs, Seges Egerminabit. Haec Via ad Patriam, Mori. Cal••ata Mors est; Surget ad Patriam vigil. Hanc spē fovebat Ille: quod sculptii hic legis, Sed Corde fixum fuerat, & Coeloratum.
