_~CHRISTIANS~, behold a most pernicious sight, Which worse than Hell wou’d dying Martyrs fright!
Such Monsters ~Africk~ never did produce; Nor ~Lucifer~, when all his Imps broke loose, To win, by force of Arms, celestial Sway, But, unsuccessful, lost the fatal Day: And if its Name by any shou’d be ask’d, It is a ~Presbyterian~ unmask’d.
His Eyes at Vice look sad, and full of Woe, Yet Heart and Tongue together never go; His Words in Conventicles virtuous be, But nauseous, when at Home, to Modesty.
To seem Dovout, he hates all common Whores, But those which Ply in Private much Adores.
He trembles when a first Rate Oath he hears; But Perjury his Int’rest seldom fears.
