FLe from the wrath that is to come
You filthye adders broode,
I cast that you perishe in your sinnes
As giltie of your bloode.

The wrath of God is kinde lid
All suche to consume quite,
That in the filthye soppes or dregges
Of Egipt do delight

Repent therfore I saye to you
For mercye call betyme
And learn to hate the stinkinge mud
Uvhere wallow nune but swyne.

Here maye you reade the wofull ende
Of suche as wont to vse
Those wicked artes that God abhorres
In tyme suche then refuse.

¶ Finis.
