Chapter 45: XLV. Of the Snuff-dishes that were with the Snuffers in the Temple.

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.
Ah! vvere these Snuff-dishes more of use in the Churches, vve should not have this Man's snuff, defile that Man's fingers as it doth. Nor would the Temple of God be so besmeered with these snuffs, and be-daubed, as it is.
Ah, Snuffs pulled off, lie still in the Temple-floor, and there stink, and defile both feet and fingers; both the callings and conversations of Temple-worshippers, to the disparaging of Religion, and the making of religious worship but of low esteem with men. And all, I say, for want of the due use of these Snuffers, and these Snuff-dishes, there.

Nay, are not whole Churches now defiled with those very Snuffs, that long since were plucked off, and all for want of the use of these Snuff-dishes, according to the Lord's Commandment. For you must know that reproofs and admonitions are but of small use, where repentance, or Church-censures, are not thereto annexed. When Ministers use the Snuffers, the People should hold the Snuff-dishes.
