2 All unclean beasts, dogs, & swine, I mean all in the Church of an unclean beastly life: such as the Apostle assureth us can not enter into the kingdom of heaven:1 fornicators, idolaters, adulterers, wantons, buggerers, thieves, covetous, drunkards, railers, extortioners; a watch-word is added, be not deceived. These be unworthy our private feasts, how much more to meet with us, our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ in this holy banquet.
