Emblem. 94. Hypocritæ progenies viperarum.
The Translation.
The viper after deadly bite, the water doth desire,VVho outwardly is faire to sight, but burn'th within as fire:
VVhen damme the viper hath brought foorth, shee is depriued of life,
These properties, for to speake troth, with hypocrites are rife.
For as to water they doe runne, things holy to pertake,
And baptisme too, yet what is done, doth nothing for them make:
VVithout a goodly shew is made, yet euill they are in hart,
And they which teach the heauenly trade, of their tongues feele the smart.
