Hypocrisie.

— Hypocrisie hath bred of Godlike diuels store, That speake to serue, that serue to shift, that shift to spare by guile, And smoothe and soothe, and yet deceiue, with scriptum est meane while. W. Warner.

But let thē heaue their hāds to heauē, they show they'r here in hell, That seeme deuout to cloake deceit, and say, but do not well. Idem.

Who cloakes their mindes in hoods of holinesse Are double villaines, and the Hypocrite Is most odious in Gods glorious sight, That takes his name to couer wickednesse. I. Syl.

Many vse temples to set godly faces On impious hearts; those sinnes vse most excesse, That seeke their shrowdes in fained holinesse. G. Chapman.

Ʋide. Dissimulation.
