A bad Man, or Atheist. 27.
WIth GOD, with Man, the World, himselfe, at Warre,
And what not, all hee to Damnation dare.
In Nature like a Dog; in Wit, an Asse,
And Beast-like hee doth in his Passion passe.
Into his Actions, which are alwayes evill,
Hee is a Corporall Incarnate Devill.
Hee maketh Sinne a Mocke; the BYBLE, a Bable,
GODS Grace, an Humour; and His Trueth, a Fable:
And calles it Cowardice, for to keepe Peace,
For troubled Tymes, hee holds his Happinesse.
His Castle hee doth call his Sword; and Pride,
The Horse, where-on this Hell-hound haunts to ryde.
His Purchase, Pyckrie is; his Language, Lyes;
His Longing, Lust; his Puncke, his Paradise.
And with a Whore, and a polluted Punke,
His Glorie is, to bee debosht, and drunke.
Hee is the Patron of Impietie,
And deadly Danger of Societie.
Hee Vertue loathes, and loveth Vanitie,
And is the Horrour of Humanitie.
In Bawdrie, and in Barratrie, h'abounds;
Till Bodie, Soule, and Fame, hee all confounds.
Hee boasts the Good, and hee vpbraids them broadly,
And spights at all the Gracious and Godly.
His Paunch is his Prince; the Taverne, his Towre;
Mahound, his Master; his Mistres, a Whore.
