Epigram 26.
I Doe beleeue the holy Pope of Rome,
Is Lord ofz 1.1 Scriptures, Fathers, Church and all:
Of Councels of the world, whose dreadfull doome,
Can at his pleasure make all rise, or fall.
I doe beleeue, though God forbids the same,
That I should worship Images, and Saints:
I hope by mine owne workes I heauen may claime.
•••• tongues vnknown, I must make praiers & plaints.
I doe beleeue Christs bodie made of bread.
And may be eaten by Dogs, Cats, or Mice,
Yet is a sacrifice for quicke and dead,
And may be bought and sold for rated price.
I further doe beleeue the Pope our Lord,
••••n at his pleasure all my sinnes forgiue.
I doe beleeue at his commanding* 1.2 word,
Subiects must Kings of liues and land depriue.
Like as the Church beleues, so I beleeue:
By which I hope the Heauens I shall atchieue.
