Prognosis Bleak

Thou art a wretched sinner, utterly unworthy of God’s love. A fountain of pollution is deep within thou nature and thou livith as a winter tree; unprofitable, fit only to be hewn down and burned. Steep thy life in prayer, and hope that God sees fit to show mercy on thy corrupted soul. Deliver this papist dog forthwith to the magistrates of the court assembled in the shire in which he dwells!
