hide_v of_o sin_n 1_o the_o first_o be_v the_o love_n of_o iniquity_n for_o sin_n be_v of_o that_o nature_n it_o love_n of_o it_o that_o it_o will_v never_o tarry_v but_o where_o it_o be_v love_v and_o much_o make_v of_o it_o be_v such_o a_o guest_n as_o rough_a entertainment_n will_v drive_v away_o in_o a_o short_a time_n and_o that_o such_o do_v love_v it_o it_o be_v very_o evident_a in_o that_o former_a place_n of_o job_n where_o it_o say_v that_o first_o wickedness_n be_v sweet_a 20.12_o job._n 20.12_o and_o then_o they_o hide_v it_o look_v what_o appetite_n and_o eager_a desire_n any_o one_o that_o have_v a_o sweet_a tooth_n can_v possible_o have_v after_o pleasant_a meat_n and_o dainty_a dish_n the_o same_o or_o great_a have_v they_o after_o sin_n the_o love_n whereof_o must_v needs_o be_v odious_a because_o it_o be_v god_n utter_a enemy_n and_o therefore_o the_o hide_v of_o it_o must_v needs_o be_v dangerous_a 2_o a_o second_o cause_n of_o this_o be_v hypocrisy_n that_o man_n will_v fain_o seem_v better_a than_o they_o be_v and_o therefore_o they_o hide_v that_o which_o be_v in_o they_o indeed_o hypocrisy_n hypocrisy_n &_o make_v show_n of_o that_o innocence_n which_o they_o be_v far_o from_o this_o be_v the_o cause_n that_o make_v david_n to_o dissemble_v and_o cloak_n his_o great_a offence_n in_o the_o matter_n of_o vriah_n as_o the_o holy_a ghost_n testify_v in_o the_o book_n of_o the_o king_n 15.3.5_o 1._o king_n 15.3.5_o where_o it_o be_v say_v that_o abijams_n heart_n be_v not_o perfect_a with_o the_o lord_n his_o god_n as_o the_o heart_n of_o david_n his_o father_n who_o do_v that_o which_o be_v right_a in_o the_o sight_n of_o the_o lord_n and_o turn_v from_o nothing_o that_o he_o command_v he_o all_o the_o day_n of_o his_o life_n to_o wit_n of_o set_a purpose_n and_o against_o his_o conscience_n with_o any_o allowance_n and_o approbation_n save_v only_o in_o the_o matter_n of_o vriah_n the_o hittite_n as_o if_o he_o shall_v have_v say_v therein_o indeed_o he_o be_v false-hearted_a and_o that_o be_v the_o reason_n why_o he_o be_v so_o long_o ere_o he_o acknowledge_v his_o grievous_a sin_n and_o why_o he_o fall_v to_o devise_v of_o naughty_a shift_n for_o the_o cover_n of_o his_o wickedness_n which_o bring_v he_o little_a prosperity_n nay_o so_o far_o be_v he_o from_o gain_v any_o thing_n by_o it_o that_o even_o one_o year_n cloak_v of_o sin_n procure_v he_o many_o sore_n and_o grievous_a trouble_n inward_a and_o outward_a for_o many_o year_n together_o thus_o we_o see_v the_o cause_n be_v bad_a to_o wit_n love_n of_o sin_n and_o damnable_a hypocrisy_n 2_o neither_o be_v the_o effect_n any_o better_o for_o whosoever_o do_v thus_o cover_v his_o sin_n effect_n the_o ill_a effect_n 1_o first_o 66.18_o it_o

to_o prayer_n but_o sin_n allow_v and_o maintain_v utter_o disable_v we_o for_o prayer_n for_o they_o make_v a_o separation_n betwixt_o god_n and_o us._n 2_o second_o such_o a_o one_o can_v have_v

prosperity_n to_o keep_v the_o same_o from_o come_v unto_o us._n but_o against_o this_o it_o may_v be_v object_v objection_n that_o it_o seem_v to_o be_v untrue_a that_o those_o that_o entertain_v and_o nourish_v sin_n in_o their_o soul_n shall_v not_o prosper_v for_o none_o prosper_v more_o than_o such_o they_o commit_v heinous_a and_o scandalous_a evil_n and_o boast_v of_o they_o and_o yet_o
