You would think it prodigious, to see a man with two faces. Alas: how many of these walk daily in our streets? They have one face for the Gospel, another for the mass-book: a brow of allegiance for the King, and a brow of apostasy of treason for the Pope; whensoever he shall call for it. You would think it a strange defect in nature, to see a man borne without a head: why there are innumerable of these head-less men among us: who like brute beasts, have no understanding, but are led by the precipitation of their feet; follow their own mad affections. Others redundantly have two ⟨p. 34⟩tongues, dissemblers, hypocrites: the one to bless God, the other to curse man made after his Image. 1They have one to sing in a church, another to blaspheme and roar in a Tavern.
