Such measure as yourself did give, such measure shall you have. 
Math. 6.   
Remember well your cruelty, in kill of God's Saints:  
whose blood for vegeance still doth cry, & god hearth their complaint.  
& you have now your just reward, which you have well deserved:  
Because from God & prince's laws, so tratorously you swerved.  
As I hear say you do appeal, unto your God the Pope:  
But his Pardons cannot prevail, to save you from the rope.  
Nor yet his Masses many fold, they cannot you defend:  
From Tyburn neither yet from hell, except you do amend.  
but when these news are brought to Rome, how that you are attainted  
Of high treason and hanged therefore, no doubt you shallbe Sainted.  
These names & titles shall you have, in Rome when you be dead:  
The Pope no doubt will you enrol, under his bulls of lea●…  
A Doctor and a Confessor, thus shall you be extolds:  
A Martyr and a Saint also, but yet a traitor bolds:  
That day that you hanged shall be, it shall be holy day:  
And so ordained by the Pope, that men to you may pray.  
Thus shall you be canonised, as Saint as I have said:  
Then to be hanged for high treason, what need you be afraid?  
For you shall have Trentals great store, of Masses said & sung:  
And all the bells that be in Room, for your soul shall be rung.  
If some good popish catholic, of your heart could take hold:  
And bring it to the Pope in Rome, it should be shrined in gold.  
Because that in the Pope's defence, you died so bold and stout:  
If that your soul do go to bell, the Pope will Mass it out. 
The pope's ●●ouen next house to hell.   
And place you by his own white side, where all the saints do dwell  
In that heaven which himself hath made, not very far from hell.  
Where you shall have such pleasant joys, Mass & matins by note 
These are the Pope's Saints.   
Saint Pluto there sings Mass himself, in a read strye cote.  
Saint Dunstone is one of his clerks, Saint Hildebrand another  
There shall you see Saint Dominick, and S. Erancis his brother.  
Saint Friar Forest is the Priest, to hear the Saints confession: 
Look in Legend au●●a and there shall you find what SAINT Remege tras.   
Saint Friar Bacon bears the Cross, before them in ●…ssion.

You shall be made the chiefest Saint, and sit above 〈…〉  
Higher then ever Dunstone was, or any Priest of   
You shallbe judge of all the Saints, and highest in C●…ion:  
Even as you here upon Earth were, to maintain superstition.  
But yet I doubt you shall not shape, the Purgatory flame.  
〈…〉 Masses and Diriges do not help, to save you from the same,  
●…f which I know you shall lack none, for many willbe feign:  
●…o have a thousand for your sake, to fetch you out again.  
●…ut you shall Masses great store have, in the heaven where you go:  
●…hat will keep you from Purgatory, if that the Pope say no.  
●…hus master Doctor have I told, your joys after this life:  
●…ecause with God's word & your Prince, you die so far at strife.  
●…hese be the joys that you shall have, in the Pope's heaven to reign:  
But in God's heaven where true joys be, no traitor shall remain  
Not Papist nor Idolater, that do refuse gods word:  
No worshipper of Images, shall stand before the Lord,  
Nor yet Rebellious Massmonger, that doth his Prince despise:  
Against all Popish blood suckers, the Lord will turn his eyes.  
No witch nor wicked whoremonger, which your pope doth defend  
No conjuror nor yet such like, to God's heaven shall ascend.  
Not Buggers or else yet haudes, in God's heaven shall have place:  
Not Briber nor Simoniack, nor Perjurer past grace.  
Not superstitious Heretics, nor maintainers of whores:  
Not Sectaries nor Sodomites, shall come within heaven doors.  
All wilful virgins with their vows, professing to live chaste:  
That godly marriage do contemn, from God's heaven shall be cast.  
And such were all your popish Saints, that I before have named:  
with all these sins most horrible, the most of them were blamed  
But in such filthy stinking Saints the Lord hath no delight:  
And from the toys celestial, he will excluds them quite.  
But these Saints that in God's heaven, shall have their habitation:  
Who by true faith in Christ's blood, do seek their whole salvation  
And such as do unfeignedly, believe Gods holy word:  
Whose life and good profession, together do accord.  
And live like subjects to their prince, obeying godly laws:  
Not thus to hung like traitors stout, as do you popish daws.  
Lo master Doctor these be they, whom we good Saints do call:  
One of these Saints do please God more, than do the pope's saints all  
And if you be unhangd as yet, God grant you may repent:  
That you may be one of these Saints, of Christ omnipotent.  
But if you be all ready hanged, I leave you to your judge:  
And let the Papistis by you take heed, how they do spurn & grudge  
Against God and their lawful Queen, I would not wish them run 
It is ti●….   
Jest that they drink of that same cup, as you before have done.  
God be thanked that our Queen, begins to look about:  
To draw the sword out of the sheath, to weed such trators out.  
Therefore you popish traitors all, forsake your Roomish sects:  
Obey your Queen like subjects true, or else beware your necks.  
Take heed how you provoke your Prince, at any time to wrath: 
Pro. 20.   
Whose anger is saith Solomon, the messenger of death.  
The King's displeasure is even as, the roaring Lions voice:  
Then to provoke the Queen to wrath, papists do not rejoice.  
Abuse not the queens lenity, that she to you doth show:  
What small vantage is got thereby, some papists late do know.  
Consider what great benefits, we have of her good grace, 
●… tiborne tippets.   
She doth maintain God's holy word, to shine in every place.  
How godly hath she ruled us, by wise counsels advice:  
Of such a precious jewel you, papists know not the price.  
She seeketh to do harm to none, but to do all men good:  
Yea, to her foes that sought her death, she hath not sought their blood  
Till now of late they did rebel, high treason to conspire:  
Then was it time to cut them of, and hung them somewhat hire.  
To end, God save her majesty, from boody papistis vain:  
And Lord sand her old Nestor's years, with us to live and reign.  
FINIS.
