LX. Upon Fly-blows.
There is good Meat provided for man's Health.
To this the Flesh-fly comes, as 'twere by Stealth.
Bloweth thereon, and so Be-maggots it,
As that it is, tho wholsome, quite unfit
For queazy Stomachs, they must pass it by:
Now is not this a prejudicial Fly?

Comparison.
Let this good Meat, good Doctrine signify,And call him which reproaches it, this Fly.
For as this Flesh-fly blows this wholsome meat,
That it the queazy Stomach cannot eat:
So they which do good Doctrine scandalize,
Present it unto some in such Disguize;
That they cannot accept, nor with it close,
But slight it, and themselves to Death expose.
Reproach it then, thou art a mauling Club,
This Fly, yea, and the Son of Belzebub.
