The CURATE, or PREACHER.

Reading edition

Woe unto them that call Evil Good, and Good Evil; that put Darkness for Light, and Light for Darkness; that put Bitter for Sweet, and Sweet for Bitter.

Isaiah v. 20.

Illustration from Emblems of Mortality; representing, in upwards of fifty cuts, death seizing all ranks and degrees of people

Woe to you impious Hypocrites, Who Evil Goodness term; And Evil to be truly Good, With equal Fraud affirm: Who Dark for Light, with Falsehood great, And Light for Dark embrace; Bitter for Sweet who substitute, And Sweet for Bitter place.
