A worke adorned with varietie of matter, both pleasant and profitable: Wherein those that please, maye finde to fit their fancies: Bicause herein, by the office of the eie, and the eare, the minde maye reape dooble delighte throughe holsome preceptes, shadowed with pleasant deuises: both fit for the vertuous, to their incoraging: and for the wicked, for their admonishing and amendment |

Ferè simile, in Hypocritas.
A face deform'de, a visor faire dothe hide,That none can see his vglie shape within;
To Ipocrites, the same maie bee applide,
With outward showes, who all their credit winne:
Yet giue no heate, but like a painted fire;
And, all their zeale, is: as the times require.
