Epigram 6: It is a question farre beyond my

by John Taylor 1580–1653

From The Sculler (1612)

Religion

It is a question farre beyond my Logick,
How those that haue the Popedome won by Magick,
Can be Liefetenants vnto Christ our Sauiour,
Being knowne for hell-hounds of most dambd behauiour
Then since the deuill hath the Pope created,
His Vicar must he be that there him seated:
T would make a wiser head then mine to muse,
That God should like the man the Deuill doth chuse.
