LV. Upon a Stinking Breath.
Doth this proceed from an infected Air?
Or from man's common, sweet and wholesome Fare?

It comes from a foul Stomack, or what's worse,
Ulcerous Lungs, Teeth, or a private Curse.

Who seem to breathe in none but Scripture Air.

So putrified, that it doth scarce retain
Any thing of its native Excellence.
It only serves to fix the Pestilence
Of their delusive Notions, in the mind
Of the next foolish Proselyte they find.
