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.
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.
And now the worship and worshippers shine like gold. As an ear-ring of gold, and an ornament of fine gold: so is a wise reprover upon an obedient ear, Pro. 25.12.
