The brazen Throat of Warr had ceast to roar,
All now was turnd to jollitie and game,
To luxurie and riot, feast and dance, [ 715 ]

And of thir doings great dislike declard, [ 720 ]
And testifid against thir wayes; hee oft
Frequented thir Assemblies, whereso met,
Triumphs or Festivals, and to them preachd
Conversion and Repentance, as to Souls
In prison under Judgments imminent: [ 725 ]
