Book I, 28: On PETER
From Divine Fancies (1633), Book I
Religion
When walking Peter was about to sinck
Into the sea, In what a case d'ye thinke,
H'ad bin; if he had trusted his complaint
To th'intercession of some helpfull Saint:
Beleeve it; if Romes doctrine had bin sound,
And soundly follow'd, Peter had bin drown'd.
