Against Fortune-Tellers

To be a wise-man (as some fooles them call)
To wit, to tell by wit, euents future,
Is for one truth to be beleeu'd in all
Their grose vntruthes, their practise hath such pow'r;
And yet let others lye, and lye but once,
That onely lye their credits so may cracke,
That though they after Gospell speak, perchance,
Their Gospells true, may true beleeuers lacke;
Then wouldst thou lye, beleeud with admiration?
Then be a wise man by thine occupation.
