Postscript

This honest Cobler has done what he might:
That Statesmen in their Shoes might walk upright.
But rotten Shoes of Spannish running-leather:
No Coblers skill, can stitch them strong together.
It were best to cast such rotten stuff away:
And look for that, that never will decay.

If all were shod with Gospel’s lasting Peace;
Hatred abroad, and Wars at home would cease.
                        Jerome Bellamie.
