As you are a learn'd Prelate and preach well,
Lively so strive, that your deeds may excell
Ever in action, doing what you preach
Xixtus like, then you Reverently do teach.
A Reverend Bishop, earst of Rhemes he was:
Nor did he one got of the truth let passe,
Doing so bravely, that ere truth were lamed,
Ev'n he himself would suffer to be maymed,
Receiving so the crown of Martyrdome.
Let then your deeds after this Bishop come,
In whose good parts, although you are proceeding;
None live so well, no exhortation needing:
Do then most worthy Prelate, let annex :
Ever all deeds be to your holy text;
Sir , still all deed unto your Word annex ye .
Envies foule haggs which do so much perplex ye ,
Youle stop their mouthes, and they can never vex you.
