On Popes Bulls and doubting of Sal∣vation. [ 48] 
POpes Heav'n to Men by such firmez Bulls intaile,
That none must doubt but that they will availe,
And yet they deeme Salvations Certaintie
Aa grand presumption, if not Heresie.
See how they damne themselves; if to beleeve
Be such a Crime, what is it then to give
Assurance of Salvation? Give? I Lye,
Alas they sell it, and thisb Symony
Makes voyd their Sales; they then to doubt have
cause,
Since these Sales voyd are by all kinde of Lawes;
Rome now must hold, and give Heavens certainety
Hence forth; else none but fooles her Bulls will
buy.
