Book IV, 91: On ZELVSTVS
From Divine Fancies (1633), Book IV
Religion
Zelustus thinks, his paines are worth his labour
If he love God, though he traduce his Neighbour:
His hot-mouth'd Zeale false-gallops on so fast
In the first Table't tyers in the last:
Art thou a faithfull Steward of Gods store,
Zelustus, that spendst Sixe, and keepst but Foure?
