The Jesuit's Double Faced Creed (1679)

I hold for sound faith__________What England's church allows
What Rome's Faith saith_______ My conscience disavows
Where the king's head_________The flock can take no shame
The flock's misled____________Who hold the Pope supreme
Where th'altar's dress'd________The worship's scarce divine
The people's bless'd___________Whose table's bread and wine
He's but an ass______________Who their communion flies
Who shuns the mass__________Is Catholic and wise.

Read this straight across if Protestant, read down the columns if Catholic.

Tomorrow, spacer images.
