That Truth, Being One and Still the Same, Is Made by Wicked Men to Countenance Falsehood, Which is Manifold, and Still Unlike
When Peace & Truth do larre, Peace is not peace:
then, Peace , in Truth , is that we should ensue:
Now, for this Truth what Warres and Iarres encrease,
these Times doe feele , and After-times may rue .
Yet, no Man's so unjust that will averre
he fights for Falshood but, for Truth and Right
So, just, some say, is en'ry unjust Warre :
thus, Truth is made to countenance each Fight .
Who ever yet for Heresie hath dide,
but saith, for Truth he dies, and so beleeues?
Or, what Sect saith not, Truth is on their side?
so, Truth is made a Divell , that deceives:
But Truth is God , unmade, who, in the end
Will damne them all, that make him such a Fiend .
