VII.

The Sacraments have been reduced to two,

And Witches unto none, though somewhat late

Since burning agéd women (save a few—

Not witches only b—ches—who create

Mischief in families, as some know or knew,

Should still be singed, but lightly, let me state,)

Has been declared an act of inurbanity,

Malgré Sir Matthew Hales's great humanity.
