The Priests shall be vile to each wight Their downfall read with much delight; For God will not the guiltless hold, That have been neither hot nor cold. The Scotch Church shall be in condition, A Virgin free from superstition They shall be joined in Covenant, 'Gainst which the world shall boast and vaunt; But England's Church must feel the storm, until she truly herself Reform; Such hurly burly, and such stir, No form of church shall remain in her; But Reformation must take breath From the Reign of queen Ellzabeth.
