And from the dugge suck't mischief more than milk.
The gallows was all the inheritance he was born to. The ba•• scum and spawn of fiends, doing such things as might the De•• shame.
Which if in hell no other pains there were,
Makes me fear hell, because he must be there,
Who with sinnes of all kinds as familiar be
As Confessors, and for whose sinfull sake,
School new Tenements in hell must make,
Going beyond all examples of others, as if they scorned to be holden to them for their damnation.
Monopoly of vice, Hieroglyphick of all ill.That have contracted in a soul the body of all mischief, one tha•• hath in him all the ingredients of wickednesse., Such an one, as h•• enemy need not to wish him worse than to be himself.
Such another would sink all mankind. Replenisht villain, Who is no lesse Than the perfection of all wickednesse.
