Few Ave’s or Te Deum’s sung,

A Mass that’s mumbled o’er in haste,

Spoke in the language of the beast,

Which but by few is understood,

Poor chaff instead of sp’ritual food:

But ignorance, the Papists say,

Is unto heaven the nearest way:

But, O ye wretches, this I doubt,

While you the sp’ritual light keep out,

And teach so freely, and off hand,
