His Physic, as in some Jaundice, must be strong of operation; for the dryness of the ones stomach, of the others conscience, doth enervate the force of medicines. The special intentions of his cure are strong purgations and blood-letting. If the law of God doth not purge out this corruption from his heart, let him blood by the law of man: manacle his hands, shackle his feet, dispute upon him with arguments of iron and steel: let him smart for his blasphemies, slanders, quarrels, whoredoms: and because he is no allowed Chirurgeon, restrain him from letting blood. Muzzle the Wolfe, let him have his chain and his clog, bind him to the good behaviour: and if these usual courses will not learn him continence, sobriety, peace, try what a New-gate and a grate will do. If nothing, let us lament his doom. Their end is damnation, whose ¹God is their belly, and whose glory is in their shame, who mind earthly things.
