I hold as faith
What Rome's Church saith
Where th' King is head
The Flocks misled
Where th' Alter's drest
The peopele's blest
Hee's but an asse
Who shuns the Masse
Who charity preach
They heav'n soon reach
On faith t' rely
Is heresy
What England's Church allows
My conscience disavowes
The Church can have no seame,
Where the Pope's supream
There's service scarce divine
Where's table bread and wine
Who the Communion flyes
Is Catholique and wise
Their church with error's fraught
Where only faith is taught
No matter for good works
Make's Christians worse then Turks
