WHen Englands Church growes Englands shame, Full of luke-warmeness, glory vaine; The worst in works and outward forme, And with contrary Factions torne. When Romish Rights by reformation shall be expell'd out of this Nation; Lord Begger Bishops then shal come To ruine and be overthrowne. The Priests shall be vile to each wight Their downfall read with much delight; For God will not the guiltlesse hold, That have been neither hot nor cold. The Scotch Church shall be in condition, A Virgin free from superstition They shall be joynd in Covenant, Gainst which the world shall boast and vaunt; But Englands Church must feele the storme, untill she truly her selfe Reforme; Such hurly burly, and such stirre, No forme of church shall remaine in her; But Reformation must take breth From the Reigne of queene Ellzabeth.
