Cure.

For his cure, there is more difficulty then of the rotten fever. In this, two special intentions are used; bloodletting, and drinking of cool water, &c. But alas! what medicine should a man give to him, whom he knows not to be sick? His heart is rotten, his husk, fair and sightly. The core of his disease lies in his conscience; and like an onion, is covered with so many pills, that you would not ⟨p. 52⟩suspect it: Their best Physic is that, God gives to Israel: Cleanse thy heart from iniquity, Oh Jerusalem, that thou mayest ¹be saved: how long shall thy vain thoughts remain within thee? If this serve not, let them read Christs bill, his denunciation against them, so often menaced, Woe unto you, hypocrites. I would tell them, that simulata sanctitas, duplez iniquitas; and their life is so much the more abominable, as they have played the better part. But I refer them to the White-Devil.
