The Sacraments have been reduced to two,
And Witches unto none, though somewhat late
Since burning agèd 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.
