Religion
Epigram 15: Christs Church in no wayes is the
From The Sculler (1612)
Christs Church in no wayes is the Church of Rome,
For Paul sayes, in the latter times should come
Apostats that the should quite for sake,
That lyes and fables should Religion make:
Affirming meats and matrimony euill,
Which Paul doth call the doctrine of the deuill.
Then since the Pope and all his shaueling rout,
What Christ commaunds they wilfully thrust out,
I with my betters must conclude this doome,
The Deuils deere drab must be the Church of Rome.
