[The mind of sinners is figured vnto hell.]
The mind of sinners is figured vnto hell.VVherein is fyre and feendish cruelty,
Gods lawes and maners resisting as rebell,
VVith lothsome stenche of wylful iniquity,
Committed by the seuen sinnes deadly,
And he that sinne into his chayne can lincke,
By subtyll shiftes and shameles impiety,
Tys a speciall gift, yf they twayne euer shrincke.
