31. A Puritan.

His name, doth shew his nature to be pure,
And so it seemes indeed, precise, demure;
And yet, (in very deed) he's not the same,
Nor doth he brooke himselfe, but in his name.
He loues his neighbour and his neighbours wife,
And hates prophanenesse in anothers life.
He will not sweare an oath, yet to reproue
Those that doe sweare, the Spirit doth him moue;
I dare not say he will deceiue his Brother,
Nor were it fitting, when he may another.
