¶ Antipus,  
¶ Too hear of such things ye be not wont  
Nam horum contraria verissima sunt  

AS verily as Adam created first his God  
So verily he tasted not, the fruit that was forbade   

As verily as Abel, did kill his brother Kayn  
So verily the ship made Noye this is plain   

As verily as Isaac, his father did beget  
So verily the sodomites remain unburned yet   

As verily as the Isralites, the Egyptians did oppress  
So verily did Moses give God the law dowbtles   

As verily as Samson was, slain of the lion ramping  
So verily did Goliad destroy David the King   

As verily as in Babylon the meats were eat of Bell  
So verily the dragon of brass devoured Daniel   

As verily as Christ did crucify the Jews  
So verily the apostles the gospel did refuse   

As verily as Simon Magus the Apostles did confute  
So verily the apostles did princes persecute   

As verily as the devil hath perfect love and hope  
So verily god's word doth constitute the pope   

As verily as Ice sickles within be hot and hollow  
So verily proud prelate's our master Christ do follow   

As verily as bread doth make and bake the baker  
So verily these thieves the priests can make their maker.   

☞ If Leighton will needs his maker make  
That these are true he can not forsake  
A papist he is and the pope's own knight  
That preacheth falsehood in stead of right  
He knoweth not how to pay his debts  
But with catching his creditors in the Pope's nets  
A thief, a robber, by preaching sedition  
Is better regarded then the king's commission.  
Among Papists.
