that
Sa-

can fpare
no time,
from accufing

but that
whiçh
hee
imploieth in tempting
vs
thereunto,
or in
infli-

thofe punifhinents which
God permitteth
him
to
lay

percciue

Which

our heauenly Iudge,whofe
exaó

And
readie
to

Magitlrate,how
fearcfull
would
we
be
to
doe
any
thing
which would
bring

But fuch an informer
continually obferueth
all our behauiour,euen
in our
fecret chambers;
who
will
not
faile
to
accule

therefore feeing this malitious blab

this
fhuld
be
ofmore
force
to
with-
hold

from
all

if
al
the
world did looke

But
he
is
not

an

a flanderer
alto, and
thereof

Iftherefore

Thus

Demetrius ferued his
