English poem
Cxv. [99]
by Michael Wigglesworth (1631–1705)
“Such, as profess’d they did detest and hate each wicked way; Whose seeming grace whilst we did trace, our Souls were led astray. When men of Parts, Learning, and Arts, professing Piety, Did thus and thus, it seem’d to us we might take liberty.“
Who are told that examples are no Rules.
