The Testimonies of several Great and Pious Personages, both Heathens and Christians, against the common Attire of the Age.

And for the great intemperance of the Age in Recreations, and Pleasures (most falsly so called) hear what more particu∣larly, both Heathens and Christians have left recorded; al∣though they were before touch'd upon; nor can they well be separated from the other: Both being the most natural pro∣duction of the same Womb of Lust, Pride, and Vanity; unworthy of the Nobility of rational and immortal Souls.

But above other Recreations, do but seriously observe of what danger and ill consequence these first Reformers thought Dancing, Musick, and the like Pastimes to be, which is the greatest divertisement of these dayes.

The serious Apprehensions and Expressions of several aged and dying Men of fame and learning.
