Obedience G5v, Matthew
k2v. Tyndale refers to religious ceremonies and scriptural
glosses as other examples of false "poetry" (1 John
A6v). Tyndale rebuked his former assistant William
Roye for discrediting the reformers' cause by
using "raylinge rymes" (Mammon A3) against Wolsey
in Barlowe and Roye. A sidenote on Gen. 47 views poetry as the ivy that
strangles the tree of truth (Mombert 143; TOT 76). Cf. Peter C. Herman,
Squitter-Wits and Muse-Haters: Sidney,
Spenser, Milton and Antipoetic Sentiment
(Detroit:Wayne State UP, 1996) 34–43, esp. 41.
