Chapter 45: XLV. Of the Snuff-dishes that were with the Snuffers in the Temple.
Modern spelling is a reading aid: the words are the author’s, only the spelling is modernized. Original shows the page as printed, with the transcription marks.
Some are for being at the snuffs with their fingers, and will also cast them at their feet, and daub the Floor of God's holy House, but usually such do burn, as well as defile themselves. But is it not a shame for a man to defile himself with that vice which he rebuketh in another? Let us ⟨p. 119⟩then, while we are taking away the snuffs of others, hate even the garment spotted by the flesh, and labour to carry such stink with the Snuff-dishes out of the Temple of God.
