Such as sit in Darkness, and in the Shadow of Death, being bound in Affliction and Iron.

Psalmcvii. 10.

Some Men, the World to circumventBy Fraud and Falsehood try,By feign’d Religion, Sin to hideFrom ev’ry mortal Eye:Of Piety an ardent loveThey outwardly profess;But inwardly they are the SinkOf all Voluptuousness:But when the End shall be at Hand,They like Reward shall have,And Death, by Myriads, shall mow downThe Wicked to the Grave.
