The villainies of the Cloistures were not unseen to his revenging eye. Perhaps they took a recluse life, that they might practise experimental wickedness, without suspicion: pro••sing to the world contemplation, premising their own thoughts to contamination. They thought themselves secure, shadowed from the eye of notice, and fenced from the hand of Justice. So they were in doctrine, out of the world; but in proof the world was in them: they were not more (polity) strict in profession, then (polluti) loose in conversation. But as dark as their Vaults were, the all-seeing GOD descried their whoredoms, and destroyed their habitations; or at least emptied them of so filthy Tenants. The obscurity of their Cells and Dorters, thickness of Walls, closeness of Windows, with the cloak of a strict profession thrown over all the rest, could not make their sins dark to the eye of Heaven.
