become_v more_o useful_a to_o the_o reader_n if_o he_o please_v to_o attend_v it_o i_o do_v not_o affirm_v either_o of_o these_o two_o thing_n first_o that_o these_o be_v the_o only_a sin_n that_o undo_v a_o nation_n or_o second_o that_o these_o be_v more_o heinous_a in_o themselves_o then_o the_o idolatry_n whereof_o the_o jewish_a nation_n be_v also_o guilty_a no_o let_v i_o not_o be_v so_o understand_v as_o if_o i_o think_v that_o deny_v of_o god_n blaspheme_v of_o his_o name_n worship_v of_o idol_n and_o such_o like_a sin_n as_o be_v more_o immediate_o against_o the_o deity_n be_v not_o waste_v sin_n &_o more_o horrid_a than_o the_o other_o but_o the_o truth_n that_o i_o assert_v be_v these_o first_o that_o the_o sin_n of_o injustice_n fraud_n and_o cruelty_n be_v and_o have_v be_v enough_o to_o destroy_v a_o nation_n without_o the_o other_o and_o second_o that_o they_o common_o prove_v the_o most_o dangerous_a and_o ruinate_v to_o a_o people_n of_o any_o else_o because_o they_o be_v overlook_v when_o they_o reform_v though_o be_v duty_n towards_o our_o brother_n who_o we_o continual_o see_v one_o will_v think_v they_o shall_v be_v in_o our_o eye_n above_o all_o other_o when_o man_n reform_v impiety_n against_o god_n they_o think_v themselves_o to_o have_v do_v he_o such_o high_a service_n and_o be_v so_o much_o in_o those_o upper_a speculation_n that_o they_o take_v no_o notice_n of_o these_o thing_n under_o their_o foot_n and_o make_v no_o reckon_n how_o they_o deal_v with_o man_n so_o they_o be_v but_o zealous_a and_o fierce_a for_o that_o which_o be_v due_a to_o god_n or_o they_o be_v content_a to_o be_v religious_a &_o give_v to_o devotion_n so_o they_o may_v but_o retain_v their_o unlawful_a gain_n pleasure_n and_o ambitious_a end_n yea_o their_o very_a religion_n and_o forwardness_n for_o reformation_n in_o such_o matter_n may_v give_v they_o a_o better_a advantage_n more_o colourable_o to_o practice_v these_o iniquity_n and_o their_o

nation_n that_o know_v god_n than_o corruption_n in_o his_o worship_n do_v not_o because_o that_o be_v not_o destructive_a but_o because_o man_n will_v a_o great_a deal_n soon_o reform_v in_o that_o then_o in_o these_o other_o for_o a_o fair_a correspondence_n with_o god_n in_o all_o the_o outward_a duty_n of_o his_o worship_n be_v a_o great_a deal_n more_o easy_a than_o this_o denial_n of_o man_n self_n in_o their_o covetous_a malicious_a ambitious_a and_o other_o fleshly_a desire_n and_o beside_o it_o be_v more_o apt_a to_o get_v a_o man_n a_o great_a name_n among_o other_o if_o it_o be_v in_o any_o good_a measure_n of_o fervency_n and_o heat_n and_o likewise_o to_o beget_v in_o himself_o a_o comfortable_a opinion_n that_o he_o be_v mighty_o belove_v of_o god_n see_v he_o do_v those_o thing_n that_o be_v most_o high_o repute_v of_o so_o much_o hypocrisy_n therefore_o and_o deceit_n be_v in_o man_n heart_n and_o they_o be_v so_o willing_a thus_o to_o put_v a_o cheat_n upon_o themselves_o i_o hope_v it_o will_v not_o by_o any_o be_v deem_v unseasonable_a that_o i_o have_v treat_v of_o this_o matter_n rather_o than_o of_o the_o other_o and_o if_o any_o will_v be_v so_o censorious_a as_o to_o say_v that_o i_o have_v not_o press_v the_o matter_n of_o religious_a worship_n so_o much_o as_o i_o ought_v they_o have_v best_o take_v heed_n that_o they_o do_v not_o bring_v our_o saviour_n himself_o under_o their_o lash_n for_o when_o the_o ruler_n ask_v he_o luk._n 19.18_o what_o he_o shall_v do_v to_o inherit_v eternal_a life_n he_o do_v not_o say_v one_o word_n

answer_v that_o he_o have_v do_v all_o those_o thing_n that_o he_o speak_v of_o our_o saviour_n do_v not_o catechise_v he_o how_o he_o have_v keep_v the_o sabbath_n and_o abhor_a idol_n and_o such_o matter_n but_o he_o desire_v he_o only_o to_o be_v careful_a of_o this_o one_o thing_n further_o which_o be_v that_o he_o will_v whole_o take_v his_o heart_n off_o from_o covetousness_n and_o the_o

the_o other_o i_o have_v already_o give_v he_o a_o answer_n to_o this_o purpose_n first_o the_o religious_a service_n in_o their_o great_a outward_a purity_n do_v not_o find_v the_o nature_n of_o man_n so_o averse_a unto_o and_o abhorrent_n from_o they_o but_o that_o they_o may_v be_v very_o forward_o to_o do_v they_o and_o second_o they_o make_v also_o a_o great_a sound_n and_o din_n in_o
