AS are those Apples, pleasant to the Eye,But full of smoake within, which vse to growNeere that strange Lake where God powr'd from the SkieHuge showres of flames, worse flames to ouer-throw:Such are their workes that with a glaring ShowOf humble holinesse, in Vertues dyeWould coloure mischiefe, while within they glowWith coales of Sinne, though none the Smoake descrie.Ill is that Angell that earst fell from Heauen,But not more ill than hee, nor in worse caseWho hides a traitrous Minde with smiling face,And with a Doues white feathers maskes a Rauen:Each Sinne some colour hath it to adorne,Hypocrisie All-mightie God doth scorne.
