The surplice is converted to a frock,

Some, bringing dogs, the Sacrament revile,

230Some, with Copronymus, the Font defile.

O God! canst Thou these profanations like?

If not, why is Thy thunder slow to strike

The cursed authors? who dare think that Thou

Dost, when not punish them, their acts allow.

All which outrageous crimes, though your pretence

Would fasten on the soldiers' insolence,

We must believe, that what by them was done
