To the Right Reverend Father in God, John, Lord Archbishop of Saint Andrews
In love and piety great Bishop by ,
O how you honour well the Deity;
How you do love the people and care so,
No prose so by above their reach to sow .
Sow you do Gods blest Word, casting the seed,
Preparing so that it increase may breed,
On the grounds strength or weaknes, having eye,
Respecting not to please the sence thereby:
Seeking the true and Orthodoxall sence,
With plainnes and with simple Innocence;
On sowing not with high and lofty prose ,
Onely in teaching, seeking to win those
Do to Gods Word attend, thus it doth fall,
Envy those split, Saint Andrew hath a Paul .
