Social Commentaries
Of Confession
From Two Bookes of Epigrammes, and Epitaphs (1639), Book II
Social Commentaries
Confession deales with sinnes, as Ioshuah
With the five Kings i'th Cave of Makeddah;
That from darke hollow hearts where vices raigne,
Brings them to judging light, and sees them slaine.
