¶A wake ye ghostly persons, awake, awake, 1B oath Priest, pope, Bishop and Cardinal. Consider wisely, what ways that ye take, Dangerously being like to have a fall, E very where the mischief of you all, F are and near, breaketh out very fast: G od will needs be revenged at the last. ¶H ow long have ye the world captived, I n sore bondage: of mens traditions? Kings and Emperors ye have deprived, Lewdly usurping, their chief possessions: Much misery ye make in all regions. N ow your frauds be almost at their latter cast, O f God sore to be revenged at the last. ¶P ore people to oppress, ye have no shame, Quaking for fear of your double tyranny. Rightful justice ye have put out of frame, Seeking the lust of your God, the belly. Therefore I dare you boldly certify, Very little though ye be thereof a gast, Y et God will be revenged at the last.
