Epigram 8: Conferring with a Romish Pharisie
From The Sculler (1612)
Religion
Conferring with a Romish Pharisie,
Who voyd of grace this heresy,
That he the law of God had neuer broken,
Nor neuer ill had done, nor ill had spoken.
I gaue his Antichristian faith the lye,
And told him that for him Christ did not dye.
For he did suffer onely for their sinne,
Who were insnared in the deuills Iynne.
And as for him that neuer had transgrest,
Twere good to hang him now hee's at the best.
