Epigram 16: O Yes, if any man would know

O Yes, if any man would know a place,
Where God himselfe hath neither power nor might,
Where as th'almighty neuer shew'd his face:
Where words, swords can neither talke nor fight,
O such a placeles place is Purgatory,
Created by the Pope without Gods leaue,
To his Antichristian glory,
And all the world with cunning to deceaue,
Where as the Pope hangs, drawes, condemnes, & iudges,
Commits, acquits, sets free, or casts in thrall,
Whether he thousands sends, on heapes like drudges,
For in this no place, he is all in all:
And like a mighty three crownd priestly Prince,
With threats and bans he so the world bewitches:
In sending thither and recalling thence,
He gaines himselfe the Deuill and all for ritches.
