plain English Whoring: Now their Bellies are full of all the good
things belonging to God, the King, and People, they begin to
say, Soul take thy rest, eat, drink, and enjoy the pleasures of the Earth;
as for Heaven and Hell, they are but neer Fables to scare Children
with, &c. which hath made some of the pamper'd rebellious
Juncto so lusty, that they have Erected about spring-Garden and
Saint Jamses, no less then Three Nurceries of Sodomy, Lust, and
