The Knave Puritan.

He whose best good, is only good to seeme,
And seeming holy, gets some false esteeme:
Who makes Religion hide Hipocrisie,
And zeale to cover cheating villany;
Whose purity (much like the devils Ape)
Can shift himself into an Angels shape,
And play the Rascall most devoutly trim,
Not caring who sinkes, so himself may swim:
Hee's the Knave Puritan, and only He,
Makes the Knaves Puritan abus'd to be.
For (in this life) each man his lot must take,
Good men must suffer wrong for bad mens sake.
