Popish doctrine saith Of binding and of loosing Popes haue got A strength which knittes of euery euill the knot And makes damnation seeme saluation sure If so thereby Rome may her gaine procure What most she craues is euery course to take How best she may her selfe worlds Monarch make The Pope that saith himselfe worlds God to be Speakes truth for so 's the deuill as well as he But Pope from Peter doth deriue his race And saith to him belongs the keyes of grace And he Christs vicar of all Gods church the head Must be supreame all Kings his frowne must dread With any oath he can at large dispence And at his pleasure pardon each offence Aboue Gods word he doth himselfe auow And his construction must the world allow True Christians they onely his doctrine likes And all the rest are damned Heretikes Gainst this the Lyon of the Tribe of Iuda cries And tels the Pope that like a diuell he lyes But still the Pope will keepe heauens golden gate And doth from thence Kings excomunicate No King on earth must haue his name inrold Vnlesse that first on him his Crowne he hold And al the world that on his sea not dwels Are Ethnicks Pagans faithlesse Insidels Those that not grow vpon his

leaue her but like Champions stand Till they from bondage had freed their natiue land They but resolu'd to be most mercilesse To free the Catholicks from their long distresse From desperate times disease euils strength to loose They were inforc'd a desperate salue to choose The worst of euill was b●●●●●st in their esteeme From worse then euill their countrie to redeeme The Pope might them for

vildenesse of the very vildest fact And thus resolu'd his Sauiour vp he eates So arm'd in proofe a King and State he threates Oh fearefull thing the seale of mans saluation Seales vp to them assured condemnation Yet they so blinde in faithlesse hopes doe trust And thinke thereby their vildest actions iust Heere see the strong delusion that should mocke The race cast from the number of Christs
