Who hath been in great credit with the world alway.
But if Ignorance may get place, there shall we do well,
Then adieu all idle heretics and vain talk of the gospel!
For me Perverse Doctrine, this shall be my fetch,[33]
To keep constant the minds of all I can catch;
Lest these glosers sometime they chance to hear preaching,
And thereby be converted, and credit their teaching.
For I trust shortly to bring it to pass,
That less knowledge of the Gospel shall serve, by the mass.
L. of Gospel. Let us inclose him, that he may not fly,
