With, troll, cytrace, and trouy, They ranged, hankin bouy, My churche all aboute. This fawconer then[615] gan showte, These be my gospellers, 120 These be my pystillers, These be my querysters To helpe me to synge, My hawkes to mattens rynge. In this priestly gydynge His hawke then flew vppon The rode with Mary and John. Delt he not lyke a fon? Delt he not lyke a daw? Or els is this Goddes law, 130 Decrees or decretals, Or holy sinodals, Or els prouincials, Thus within the wals Of holy church to deale, Thus to rynge a peale With his hawkis bels? Dowtles such losels Make the churche to be In smale auctoryte: 140 A curate in speciall To snappar and to fall Into this open cryme; To loke on this were tyme. VIGILATE. But who so that lokys In the officiallis bokis, Ther he[616] may se and reed That this is matter indeed. How be it, mayden Meed Made theym to be agreed, 150 And so the Scrybe was feed, And the Pharasay Than durst nothing say, But let the matter slyp, And made truth to trip; And of the spiritual law They made but a gewgaw, And toke it out in drynke, And this the cause doth shrynke: The church is thus abused, 160 Reproched and pollutyd; Correccion hath no[617] place, And all for lacke of grace. DEPLORATE. Loke now in _Exodi_, And _de arca Domini_, With _Regum_ by and by; The Bybyll wyll not ly; How the Temple was kept, How the Temple was swept, Where _sanguis taurorum,_ 170 _Aut sanguis vitulorum_, Was offryd within the wallis, After ceremoniallis; When it was poluted, Sentence was executed, By wey of expiacion, For reconciliacion.[618] DIVINITATE.[619] Then muche more, by the rode, Where Christis precious blode Dayly offred is, 180 To be poluted this; And that he wyshed withall That the dowues donge downe might fal Into my chalis at mas, When consecrated was The blessed sacrament: O prieest vnreuerent! He sayde that he woulde hunt From the aulter to the funt. REFORMATE.
