Notes. This poem, targeting Laud’s theological opinions, is transcribed on a page headed “1629”.

“on B.pp Laude. epig.”

Surely the face of thinges is alter’d much

when ancient tenents1 now are nothing such

as what they weare before, How comes this evill

that what God should have Men give to the Devill

for where Men gave to God both laud and prayse

Laud’s given to th’Devill now, in these our dayes.
