True (quoth Ales) thinges doone can not be vndoone,
Be they done in due tyme, to late, or to soone,

To late (quoth my aunt) this repentance showd is,
Whan the stéede is stolne shut the stable durre.

Oaths? Subscriptions? and whole cart-loads of other trumpery that we find religion incumbered with in these days?
