Chapter XXVII

[Sidenote: The Goats described, or the several sorts of Reprobates on the left hand. Mat. 24:51.]

At Christ's left hand the Goats do stand,
all whining Hypocrites
Who for self-ends did seem Christ's friends,
but foster'd guileful sprites;
Who Sheep resembled, but they dissembled,
(their hearts were not sincere,)
Who once did throng Christ's Lambs among,
but now must not come near.
