BIBLIA  
Veritas.  
Heresia.  Hendrick Laurentz excud. Amstelrodam. 1628.  

GReat King protect us with thy gracious hand,  
Or else Armenius will o'er spread this Land:  
For if in England th'enemy doth appear,  
This is the shape of him we need to fear.  
He raiseth Factions, and that brings in jars,  
Which broacheth Errors, and upholds the wars:  
The Netherlands ruin, he sought to bring,  
In England now he doth the self same thing.  
To rail, to write, to publish bitter gall,  
To change Religion, and subvert us all.  
His Squint-eyed looks & Lansa-Wolsa gown,  
Shows how Religion h● will soon throw down.  
His grinding pate with weathercocks turned brain,  
Seeketh the Church's tenets for to stain:  
The Crystal streams of truth he shuns most pure,  
The trial of God's word he'll not endure:  
But unto Error cast his blinking eye,  
Presuming Truth doth not the same espy.  
Heresy upon a stately Beast doth stand,  
Armenius bids him welcome, holds his hand.  
Truth by her brightness, and her sincere heart,  
Shows that with Heresy she takes no par.  
Treads on their Mounteb ink & Cozening tricks,  
Blown in his ears, by Pe●agius and Jesuits.  
Which makes his Windmill for promotions grace  
Publish his Books abroad in every place:  
And begs protection for his works of wonder,  
Which against Truth he bellowes forth like thunder.  
Thus doth Armenius to preferment rise,  
By Equivocating and his Cheverill lies:  
And Truth to all appeals to open view,  
Bidding all Heresies for ere adieu  
Desiring our great CHARLES to take to heart▪  
And by the Parliament make Armenius smart.  
Which being done England shall ever bless  
The King, the State, the Church's happiness,  
And if for telling truth, I burn or fry;  
What then deserves he that tells a lie? 1628.
