This your profession I like veri well So that you intend to live according I pray God your living do not rebel But ever agree unto your saying That when ye shall make accounts or reckoning Of this talon, which you have received you may be one of those, with whom the Lord shallbe pleased For this conversation of youth, the lords nam be prased Let us now depart for a reason. To give God the glori it is convenient and reason if thou will departed, I will not tarry. And I will never forsake your company While I live in this world Oh oh all to late I trow this gear will come to nought For I perceive my power doth abate For all the policy that ever I have wrought, Many and sundry ways I have sought, To have the word of god deluded utterly, Oh for sorrow yet it will not be. I have done the best that I can, And my ministers also in every place, to rote it clean from the heart of man, And yet for all that it flourisheth a pace: I am sore in dread to show my face, My authority and works are so greatly despised My inventions, and all that ever I have devised Oh oh, full well I know the cause, that my estimation doth thus decay, the old people would believe still in my laws, But the younger sort lead them a contrary way they will not believe they plainly say, In old traditions and made by men, But they will live as the scripture teacheth them. Out I cry upon them, they do me open wrong, to bring up their children thus in knowledge, For if they will not follow my ways when they are young it is hard turning them when they come to age: I must needs find some means this matter to suage, I mean to turn their hearts from the scripture quite, that in carnal pleasures they may have more delight. Well I will go taste to infect this youth through the enticement of my son hypocrisy, And work some proper feat to stoup his mouth that he may lead his life carnally: I had never more need my matters to apply, Oh my child hypocrisy, where art thou? I charge that of my blessing, appear before me now Oh oh quoth he, keep again the sow, I come as fast as I can, I warrant you, Where is he that hath the sow to sell? I will give him money if I like her well, weather it be sow or hog, I do not greatly care For by my occupation I am a bochare, Oh my child, how dost thou far? Sancti amen, who have we there? By the mass I will buy none of thy ware, thou art a chapman for the devil What my son, canst thou not tell? Who is here, and what I am, I am thine own father Satan.
