Hypocrisis.
All's not gold that glisters.
Fire i'th one hand and wa∣ter i'th other.
The more courtesie the more craft.
I pray you doe as you say.
He winkes wiles.
He is as false as the Devil.
Faire without, foule with∣in.
A faire hood on a false head.
I'le be holy I mary will I.
descriptionPage 140
He that winkes with one eye, and lookes with the other.
I will not trust him though he were my brother.
The Devill is dead in a di••cb.
The other's but his stalking horse.
There's falshood in fellow∣ship.
He fleeres you in the face but would cut your throate.
To practise mischiefe in hugger mugger.
You cannot wed both the mistris and malkin her maid.
He lookes like a saint, but the devill he is.
He carrieth two faces un∣der one hoo••.
He is turned puritane.
There's as much hold of his word as a wet eele by the toyle.
Neither fish nor flesh nor good red herring.
The french pox had need of a strong perfume.
Counterfeit sanctity is double iniquity.
descriptionPage 141
Bravely drest, but the worst part is i'th midst.
Ile paint you in your like∣nesse.
The nearer the church the further from God.
As fine as five pence over deare of three pence.
A wolfe lap't in a lambe-skin.
He lookes as if butter would not melt in his mouth.
A faire out-side.
Laudamus veteres, sed nostris utimur annis.
Alterâ fert manu lapi∣dem, altera panem o∣stentat.
Caput artis est docere quod facias.
Omnes qui habent cy∣tharam non sunt cy∣tharoedi.
Extimè lineus, intimè la∣neus.
Intus Hecuba, foris Hele∣na.
Leonis exuvium super crocatum.
descriptionPage 140
Imitabor Nepam.
Pardali mortem simulat.
Hoc calceamentum con∣suit Hystiaeus Arista∣goras induit.
