YOu wicked rout of sorcerers
For shame, your lyues amende
Lest god doth pour such plages on you
As neuer shall haue ende

All suche he doth right sore abhor
As scripture telth vs playne
Repent therfore, and learns to hate
These wicked artes, moste vayne.

Let his sweet rod example be
Of late, you saw did fall
Into suche as profest the lyke
Whome God now home doth call.

Bring forth new frute, & sob youre sinnes
Lest dubble, ire doth light
On you that do refuse Gods grace
When haue the same you might.

¶ Finis.
