    Dont you remember in former ages
    When you were naked as well as me
    To your false teaching you did envagle
    Oppressing creatures
    12.
    The tithes and taxes that you were craving
    We freely give though its not your due
    It did belong to the priests and Jesuits
    When ordination from Christ was true"

    You should oppose a bright Ark like me
    Who sits in state full of primatian

    With snakes and serpents through out the land
