Personam non animum.
The Hypocrite, that doth pretend in show,
A feigned Zeale of Sanctitie within,
Eschew betime, nor haue with such to doe,
Whose hoodes are but the harbour of their Sinne,
And humblest habits, but a false disguise,
To cloke their hate, or hidden villanies.

No HIRCAN Tyger, ERYMANTHIAN Beare,
So arm'd with malice, thirstie after blood,
To high estate aspiring, as they are,
The worst of men, nay man it is too good.
Where LVCIFER did openly rebell
To God, these Traitors even within the Cell.
