In Seuerum. 13.

THe Puritan Seuerus oft doth reade, This text▪ that doth pronounce vaine speech a sinne, That thing defiles a man that doth proceede, From out the mouth, not that which enters in. Hence is it, that we seeldome heare him sweare, And thereof as a Pharesie he vaunts. But he deuour's more Capons in one yeare, Then would suffice an hundred protestants. And sooth those sectaries are gluttons all, Aswell the threed bare-Cobler as the knight. For those poore slaues which haue not wherewithall Feed on the rich, till they deuoure them quite. And so as Pharoes kine, they eate vp cleane, Those that be fat, yet still themselues be leane.
