SINNES DISCOVERY BY THE EMBLEM OF A TOAD .

depiction of a man More Loathsome ▪ What can be unto myne eye ▪ Than this most ugly Toade which heere J spie .

A TOADE Though J be obiect of mans scorne and hate . Yett J am better than A Reprobate .

POor man , why , with disdain do'st look on Me ? Thy self more vile , by Sinne , why do'st not See ? A Toade I am , yet serve God in my kind , Accomplishing those Ends to mee Assign'd . My place I keep , where God appointed mee , From Earth that Venome , I ●uck-up , which Thee And Beasts would hurt : and yet my poyson 's good For Medicines , were it rightly understood , And with this poyson though my self , I fill , It s that which can the body onely kill , And makes me loathsome unto mortal Eyes But , with me all my shame and sorrow dies . But thou rebell'st against Gods majesty , And serv'st the Divel his damn'd Enemy . With filthy Lusts ( worst Poyson ) fil'd thou art , Which makes Jehova loath thee with his heart Thy poysons worse , ten thousand times than mine Which onely does the body kill ; but thine The soule , likewise ; and if in sinne thou die , Death does not end thy shame and misery , It ( then ) begins ; which ( once ) but felt and seen , A loathsome Toad , like me , thou 'lt wish , thou 'dst been , Then thou wilt find thy state , than mine far worse , Since , ugly-Sinne made Christ become a Curse And that mans Sinne caus'd all that misery , Which Christ endur'd from Cratch to Crused-Tree . Yea , that each wilful , unrepented Sinne , Does horrour here , and hell hereafter win . Sin , therefore , worse than Plagues , death , hell , the divel , Cause of all ill , hate , as the greatest ; evil , And if thou ( ere ) wilt enter Heavens straight Gate Let Sinnes not Toades , be object of thy hate . F. P. FINIS
