spake better nor reprobate did worse It faring with them as with one of a surfetted stomack the more good meat he eates the more he increaseth his corruption Or as it is with the milke of a Tygresse the more Salt is thrown into it the fresher it is As looke into thy selfe dost thou not in thy practice the workes of the Divell in swearing drinking whoring slandering the godly and accusing them to the Prelates in scoffing at the religious in persecuting those Ministers and people whom ●hy conscience tells thee are more faithfull and righteous then thy selfe so crucifying Christ againe 〈◊〉 his members and in all this cause others to doe the same by thine evill example Thou canst not be so impudent as to denie it though I expect neither thy acknowledgement nor amendment Which being so what more pa●pable hypocrisie and Puritanisme then this When one shall teach the words of God and doe the workes o● the Divell their doctrine condemning their owne lives or their lives confuting their owne doctrine Like some foolish minstrill who sings one tune with his mouth and harpes another with his hand Of which sect was Diogenes Sinopensis in opinion a Stoicke in conversion an Epicure a foole in both And certainly most unmeet it is that such fooles should be set as watchmen over Gods heritage for if any man cannot rule his owne house saith the Apostle how should he care for the church of God 1 Tim. 3. 5. And if he cannot rule himselfe how should he rule his own house Againe there are a third sort of these prelaticall preachers who might be rancked with the grossest of hypocrites namely Pluralists and Non residentaries who under a colour of wearing the Ephod feed themselves fat with the blood of soules But I have sufficiently spoken to them in the forementioned Abstract Only this by the way That men should be Pastors over and live of the flocke that they doe not feed or scarcely see or bee maintained from the Altar at which they doe not serve is a thing that can hardly in my judgement receive a just defence Sect. 77. 2. But secondly to bring the openly prophane and loose Libertines to this tryall who above all cry out upon Puritans and Professors If he be a notorious Puritan id est an Hypocrite whose profession and practice is cleane contrary then thou art a notorious Hypocrite in bearing the name of a Christian and boasting that thou art one but doing the workes of the Divell and that more exactly then a very infidell In adoring Christ so often as thou comme●t to Church as it were with an Ave Rex in thy mouth but spitting oaths in his face so soon as thou commest out and in crucifying him afresh with thy gracelesse actions in being all the weeke a drunken beastly blaspheming wretch and on the sabbath especially for foure houres as devout in the Church as the best For in praying with Gods people thou callest God father whom thou neither fea●est nor lovest nor trustest in Thou prayest that his nam● may be hallowed when indeed thou doest nothing lesse that his kingdome may come and his will bee done on earth as it is in heaven when thou hatest nothing more then to be governed by his lawes and ruled by his scepter That he will forgive thee thy trespasses as thou forgivest them t●at trespasse against thee when thou wilt stab a man for the lye or a crosse word and not so much as pardon one that is better or would have thee better for others must swear as thou dost drink and talke obscenely as thou doest c. or thou wilt be offended with them That he will not lead thee into temptation but deliver thee from evill when thou usest all opportunities to be tempted and to tempt others to evill c. Againe in singing with the Assembly thou usest these and the like expressions of the Psalmist I love thee deerly O Lord my strength Psal 18. 1. I will alwayes give thankes unto the Lord his praise shall be in my mouth continually Psal 34 1. Evening and morning and at noone will J pray and make a noise Psal 22. 17. J will set no wicked thing before mine eyes I hate the workes of them that fall away it shall not cleave unto me Psal 101. 3. c. In all which thou doest lye and dissemble most egregiously for doest thou love God deerly no thou hatest him in thy heart as thy workes shew plainly Doest thou praise God and that continually no thou blasphemest him every houre and reprochest his children servants in them him in every place where thou commest Doest thou prayevery day thrice Yes if curses and oathes and scoffes be praying then thou prayest fifty times a day yea thou prayest continually Doest thou set no wicked thing before thine eyes and doest thou hate the workes of them that fall away no thou lyest falsly thy whole felicitie is in wickednesse and thou not onely hatest that which is good but all that is or are good or hath the appearance But in this case assure thy selfe that God infinitely more scornes that one in praying and singing in his house upon his day and among his people should offer up a petition or protestation to him who cares not whether he have his petition granted and his vowes performed or not yea that laboureth all he can to hinder the same and as much scornes that any should repeat his commandements that cares not to doe them but the cleane contrary and that the same tongue which sayes Thou shalt not take the name of the Lord thy God in vaine should presently take the same name in vaine and so be contrary to it selfe and give the ly to it selfe then a temporall King would scorne to be so derided and abused by any base and unworthy fellow in his owne presence and before his people And yet thou knowest that the worst of deaths would be the reward of such contumacie Here also I might take occasion to shew thee how desparate thy condition is above all other mens above the Heathen man who knowes not God as thou doest Above the Athiest who beleeves not that there is a God as thou wouldest be thought to doe above the close Hypocrite who thinkes to deceive God and the world which thou boasteth thou doest not And make it appeare that every one of them is more righteous then thy selfe if they wou●d pay me to plead their causes As I would urge in defence of my Clyent the Hypocrite that he in the dissembling of vice and faining of Godlinesse though he doe hurt to himselfe yet he oft doth good to others by his example causing them to doe that in truth which he doth only in hypocrisie As often times Stage players by their fained mourning wring forth true teares out of the spectators eyes whereas thou by thy shew and publication of thy vicious and filthy practices dost more hurt by thy example then by the sinne
