No Age, hath had a people, to professe Religion, with a shew of holinesse, Beyond these times; nor, did men sacrifice, According to their foolish fantasies, More oft than at this present. One, bestowes On pious-workes, the hundreth part, of those Ill-gotten goods, which from the poore he seazed, And, thinkes his God, in that, is highly pleased. Another, of her dues, the Church bereaves: And, yet, himselfe a holy man conceives, (Yea, and right bountifull) if hee can spare From those his thefts, the tenth, or twentieth share, To some new Lecture ; or, a Chaplaine keepe, To please Himselfe, or, preach his Wife asleepe. Some others, thinke they bring sincere Oblations, When, fir'd with zeale, they roare out Imprecations Against all those, whom wicked they repute: And, when to God, they tender any sute, They dreame to merit what they would obtaine, By praying-long, with Repetitions vaine. With many other such like Sacrifices Men come to God : but, he such gifts despises: For, neither gifts, nor workes, nor any thing (Which we can either doe, or say, or bring,) Accepted is of God ; untill he finde A Spirit-humbled, and a troubled-minde. A contrite Heart, is that, and, that alone, Which God with love, and pitie, lookes upon. Such he affects; therefore ( Oh Lord ) to thee; Such, let my Heart, and, such, my Spirit bee.
