These are Satan's white boys, or rather black boys; which he kills, like the Ape her young, with kindness; and damns with indulgence. He gives them a vaster Commission, then I have read that Philip le Long gave the Jacobin. in Paris; which Charter had a reasonable extension; ⟨p. 54⟩A portaillorum, ad portam Inferni, inclusivè. This is the Passport, which this great Captain gives Hypocrites; From their own gates to the gates of hell, inclusively.

This is that hypocritical and half-turning to God; when the outward action is suppressed, and the hidden corruption lies still fostered in the heart. The appearance is masked, the affection not mortified. And though, like an Eunuch, he doth not beget palpable and manifest enormities; yet hath a lust, and itch, and concupiscence to them, and forbears not in the dark, safe from the eyes of the world, to practise them.
