INtactus{que} lutum immundum speculatur* 1.1 Aquieus, Foemineam{que} notant scrinia* 1.2 cera* 1.3luem. Nudus Adam, nudus{que} puer non or a rubescit, Nuda nec impubi cernere mente nefas. Morbida non patitur, non lex * 1.4 vada rubra Secantis. Naturae vt lateat* 1.5 nequiteae{que} via. * 1.6Clauibus instructo pandas delicta lubenter, Et bona causidico, membra{que} Celse, tibi. Arbor notitiae Magicas en extudit artes, Haeresium{que} plicas, imperij{que} plagas. Haec quo{que} nosse iuuat, vitae{que} excerpere fructus, Pestibus armatis pharmaca siue fugam. Non primus genitor secuit; iam cuspide primum Hinc animo dirimas deni{que} membra doce. Plaude parens, Argiua cluis, molimine Croci, Omniparos flores vnicus hortus habet. Vocem aptam, methodum accliuem, sexenta{que} paucis Dogmata conspicies stricta{que} tela virum. Pimpliadum soboles hinc ad potiora mouere, Hippolyto parcant flagra* 1.7 trisulca Iouis.
TH'vntainted Sun on * 1.8 EGLONS dung can stare, And Sacred writ doth * 1.9RACHELS Months declare The Babe though nak'd, and * 1.10 ADAM dreads no shame, To gaze with Babe-like minde, can breed no blame. Nor Leches lore, nor MOSES Law can bide, Or sinnes, or Natures hidden parts to hide. To him that holds the keyes thou'lt shew thy sin. BRACTAN thy Case, HIPPOCRATES thy skin. The Tree of Knowledge Magicke did deuise, And errors gin, and Florentizing guize Yet fruit of Life they bring, which these reueale, That armed poysons we may shun or heale. Nought needed ADAM, but we first must cut, Next know, last teach, how euery member's put. Ioy England, rich as Greece by CROOKES long toyle, All Flowers budding in thy blessed soyle. Fit words, smooth order, many mindes in short Be here compris'd, and what their proofes import. Mount hence O Muses child to higher wonders, Nor feare HIPPOLITVS * 1.11three forked thunders.

Ambrose Fisher.
