105. On Zelvstvs .
Not thy Geneva Ruffe, nor steeple HatWith flagging Eaves, or Cepresse out of date,
Thy nock-shorn Cloake, with a round narrow Cape;
Thy Russet hose crosse-garterd with a Tape;
Thy Antick Habit, of the old Translation,
Made for the purpose in despight of Fashion;
Tis none of these, Zelustus, that can bring
Thy Zeale in credit; none of these can wring
The least applause from heav'n: Heav'n never ment
A Christians Conscience should be bound or bent
To shapes; Zelustus, we can scarce divide
An Affectation from a secret Pride.
