Book III, 78: On RVSCVS
From Divine Fancies (1633), Book III
Religion
Illiterate Ruscus heard Pedantius preach;
Admir'd the Church mans learning, & commended
Such things alone, that were above his Reach;
But meanly slighted what he appprehended:
What hinders then to thinke that Ruscus hath
At least the twi-light of a Bastard Faith?
