forty thousand enemies to the Crown, The deadly poison of hell, Mark what I have said, and hereto will I stand, I leave to speak of that which a way you do I mean coin, and by fraud, craft, and guile, I will not speak of all, fear lest I do vary, But God will recompense it within a while. Iewes, Ruffians, Moores, Turks, and Tartarians. With these you have mixed the virgin's people, Anabaptists, Libertines, Epicurians and Arians, Infinite of these, your country to enfeeble, The maidens, men, may go learn to pick a salad: Houses for money they can none get, meat nor Poor Crafts men are compelled to take bag and wallet, But for your great sins, tire shall shortly sink. The devil of lie that is, such a number of Alians, And that of all nations are come higher to dwell, As he said, even Jews and Barbarians, So that the Realm is like to be made another hell. I speak not of this Realm, you take me amiss, All my talk is of the noble City of tire, There shall not be left a man against the wall to piss, And those that plagues consume not, shallbe destroyed with fire, I confess one God the blessed Trinity, God the father, God the son, and God the holy Ghost, This God intendeth shortly to make a triplicity, Whereby shallbe consumed, from the least to the most, But this I say to you master Mariner, You are skilled well you say in Astronomy, Of the state of Charles' Wain, you are not to learn, When Artopholos hideth his fisnomy, Than of the foresaid gear, God doth you warn, When Arthur shall be, And go before the great e, Then out of hand cometh all this gear forward, Which shortly will come to pass truly I fear. Lo here are bugs to make children afraid, I think the frantic peddler be out of But what great things of him will be said, If any things according to his prattling doth hit. Then where was such a Prophet as our peddler was? To know of things never to be done: I warrant you this gear will come to pass, When our Lady hath a new son. Surely I am afraid with the prophecy, Which in holy scripture I have learned: The threats of God, by Esay and Ieremy, Hath all the whole world sufficiently warned, But I marvel of one thing brother peddler, That in all your talk you allege no scripture, For he that in prophecies will be a meddler, By the word of God must his matters assure. The days are come to pass spoken of before, That such as can see, are yet still blind: And they that of knowledge have great store, Yet are they without understanding of the mind. Artificer, artificer, you are an artificer, That is, one living by an occupation, God grant you be better than the traveler, And better than the conveyer of abomination.
