[BNP/E3, 49D¹ – 64]

But now our times are so {…}

And churches are at daggers drawn

And worthy men

Speak nonsense in the name of God

And say, {…} self

“No one is saved except myself.”

“Our Church alone is good and well

All other sects will go to Hell.

But in one thing they all accord

       Around their tricks and nonsense indeed

Hell, for the glory of the Lord —

Damnation in the name of Christ.

_______

Some bishop too who sips his tea

Wonders how can the world ill be…

And asks is humpy man or sinner

In the fifth cosine of his dinner.
