Tyborne tippets, i. e. halters. 151

163. At length, by full consent of Commonweale,
In Englishe Parliament it was decreed,
By cutting of a withered branche to heale
Theyre body burdened with a fruitles weede,
Which was by hir it touched most indeede
Withstoode by pitty, which could not take place
Because it did concerne a common case.

165. In body yet wee Adams badge doe weare,
And to appeare before Gods throne doe feare.
