Which make the outside of the Cup
and Platter clean enough,
But leave the inside all fill'd up
with vile and odious stuff.
Luke 11 39. Mat. 23.14.
The outside (Hypocritical)
they finely scoure and dress,
But leave the inside full of all
extortion and excess.
Poor Widows houses they devour,
and for to seem sincere,
Out of their lips long Prayers they pour,
these greater wrath shall bear.
Mat. 15.8. Jam. 3.11.
Th' approach to God with mouth alone,
and honour him with their lips:
But what their mouth and lips do own,
their heart quite over-slips.
But, first, the w••sedom from above
is pure without deceit,
Then peaceable, and full of love,
and easie to intreat.
Jam. 3.17.1.27.
'Tis full of liberality,
and fruits of mercy kind:
'Tis void of partiality,
and of a double mind.
Religion pure and undefil'd
with God and with the Father,
Is to relieve the Orphan-child
with what estate we gather.
To visit Widows (with our wealth)
from habitation hurl'd:
And for a man to keep himself
unspotted of the world.
