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.
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.

Round reproofs for sin, when they light upon penitent hearts, then brave work is in the Church: Then the Snuff is not only pulled away, but carried out of the Temple of God aright, &c.
