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.
Snuff-dishes, you may say, what are they?
I answer, If sins, are the snuffs and rebukes, and admonitions the Snuffers: Then methinks, repentance, or in case that be wanting, the censures of the Church should be the Snuff dishes.
Hence Repentance is called, a Church-cleansing grace, and the Censures of the Church a purging out of old leaven, and making it a new Lump, 1 Cor. 5. 2 Cor. 7.11.

Ah! were these Snuff-dishes more of use in the Churches, we should not have this Man's snuff, defile that Man's fingers as it doth. Nor would the Temple of God be so besmeared with these snuffs, and be-daubed, as it is.
