[ 485] The sins of Blasphemy and Swearing, the commonness of them.
IT is no wonder that in Italy (vvhich is a parcell of Antichrists Kingdom) Blas∣phemies
should be darted out against God,* 1.1 and his Christ, openly, being made
phrases of gallantry to the Brewer,* 1.2 and very interjections of speech to the Vulgar: But in
England (where the Scepter of Christs Kingdom hath a long time flourished) it
cannot but wound the heart of such as mourn for the sins of the Land, to consider
hovv commonly not onely the Ruffian in the Tavern,* 1.3 and the Rascal on the Stage, but
also the Labourer at his work, and the Gentleman at his recreation, and the very Boyes,
yea the Babes in the streets curse their Maker, and revile their Redeemer.
