To the Reader.
TImes Ministers haue often drawne the features, Of many vild, obsceane, illitterate creatures; Euen till the pensils they portraid withall, Had spent all colours, now they write with gall. (Seeing those fairer shapes were not respected) Thereby to make vice lothed and reiected: Yet notwithstanding marke mans impudence, See yonder villaine, who for his offence Did merrit death; yet pardon'd swiftly flyes, To act more damd and horrid villanies. Note that Adulterer which seemes sorry now, And with afained sanctimonious vow Abiures his sinne, yet more his soule to blame, With's neighbours wife next day commits the same. The Vsurer by scripture reprehended, Weepes and is sorry that he hath offended: Yet as the diucll will haue it he is drawne, Immediatly from's booke to take a pawne. Behold that impious Theefe that lately swore, To make his godlesse stocke but twenty more; And then to leaue his rude and ruthlesse dealing, But heele behang'd before heele leaue his stealing.Page [unnumbered]
