‘In such as scap'd small Reformation hath
‘Produc'd! nor has the desolating Fire
‘(A perfect token of Gods flaming Ire,)
‘Burnt up the Cities Pride; 'twas great before,
‘And now it seems to multiply much more.
‘Fantastick Garbs and Antick Modes declare,
‘How much from Pride their Souls reformed are.
‘Should any Women have such Children Born
‘With such Attire as on their Heads are worn,
‘Would it not them affright and terrifie?
‘God may do so if you don't speedily
‘Reform your Lives, and cast your Fashions off,
‘Which make ill men at you revile and scoff.
