Then they will know Saint Michaels Armes,
Wherwith he sa••es Gods Church from harms.
For though the watch-men smote the Spouse,
As shee sought Christ, yet still she growes,
Untill her Seede, as heretofore,
In spirit playes the arrant Whore.
Let croaking Frogs, and chattring Pyes,
Let Daniel's Horne with Mysticke eyes:
Let curious Schoole-men, errours spawne,
Grace and Faith, for Freewill pawne:
Let such, as broach those Franticke Tales,
Whom Old Saint Dauid chas'd from VVales,
Pelagian wise, depart from hence;
In spight of all wee haue defence.
On Phisicke knowne our Cures relye,
Let Mountebankes Elixirs trye:
Men, who were call'd, but neuer Cull'd,
Theeues of the House, by cro••chets gall'd.
Wee feare strong flames; shr••bs safer lye
From Lightnings blast, then Cedars high.
The low-built Cot••age of a Clowne,
Stands surer then the Triple Crowne.
Aspiring doubts the Church our Mother,
As Fancies Braine-wormes, bids vs smother
When Seraphins were faine to Vaile,
How could Arminius sight but faile?
Let sober Learnings Oracles
S••te for our eyes plaine Spectacles.
