Nevertheless when he was coming to Argentine, William Roy (whose tongue is able not only to make fools stark mad, but also to deceive the wisest that is at the first sight and acquaintance) gate him to him, and set him a work, to make rimes, while he him self translated a Dialogue out of Latin into English, in whose Prologue he promiseth more a great deal, then I fear me he will ever pay. Paul saith. 2. Timo. 2. The servant 1of the Lord must not strive, but be peaceable unto all men, and ready to teach, & one that can suffer the evil with meekness, and that can inform them that resist: if God at any time will give them repentance for to know the truth. It becometh not then the Lords servant to use railing rimes, but Gods word, which is the right weapon to slay sin, vice & all iniquity. The Scripture of god is good to teach, and to improve, ij.

Good and evil go always together, one can not be known without the other.
