Hypocrisie.
From Divinity and Morality in Robes of Poetry ([1660?])
Social Commentaries
WO to you Hypocrites whose sin appeares
Like dead mens bones in silver Sepulchers.
I send yee Prophets but you doe bely 'um.
And with your Power, kill, Scourge, and crucifie 'um.
Yee Serpents, Vipers, how can yee expell
The wrath of God, and free your soules from Hell?
