Epigram 13: Not all the sophistry of Aristotle

by John Taylor 1580–1653

From The Sculler (1612)

Religion

Not all the sophistry of Aristotle,
Cannot perswade me but the Pope did erre,
When he and's sonne mistooke the poysned bottle,
error sure what euer they inferre.
O't had bene good then, both for him and's heire,
He had bene halterd fast in Peters Chayre.
