Epigram 10 (If workes doe saue, happy king Philip is,)

If workes doe saue, happy king Philip is,
He may set heauen to so high a prise.
Since all the goold of Indie now is his,
That he alone may purchase Paradise,
But merits saue, so saith the Church of Rome.
And Philip doth beleeue it verily,
With hired armes which renteth Christendome.
And with huge summes doth purchase villany
Gainst princes heads, these are his pretious balmes,
y Rome; teach you your king to giue such almes?
