To the Right Rev. Father in God Henry Lord Bishop of Exeter

Baronial apostolic sir!
If our poor limping church must stir,
I who am zealous for your order
From the cope-point to bottom border,
And lower my eyes before the surplice,
But bear most reverence where most purple is,
Ready my very soul to pawn
Where I have pinn'd my faith, on lawn.
I supplicate you to advise
Your children, changing their disguise,
They put on one that does not show
So very much of dirt below.
