to_o bring_v they_o in_o either_o as_o motive_n to_o incline_v we_o to_o a_o true_a and_o right_a performance_n of_o the_o duty_n of_o worship_n or_o as_o disswasives_n from_o this_o sin_n of_o lie_v therein_o by_o way_n of_o application_n first_o i_o shall_v draw_v some_o inference_n from_o the_o doctrine_n 1._o if_o there_o be_v such_o a_o thing_n as_o lie_v and_o deceitful_a deal_v in_o god_n worship_n then_o we_o have_v the_o less_o cause_n to_o wonder_v that_o there_o be_v so_o much_o lie_v and_o deceit_n among_o man_n in_o their_o converse_n with_o each_o other_o it_o be_v a_o very_a lie_a age_n that_o we_o live_v in_o man_n lie_v one_o to_o another_o in_o falsify_v their_o word_n break_v their_o promise_n yea_o and_o more_o solemn_a obligation_n man_n lie_v one_o of_o another_o by_o scandalous_a report_n which_o they_o raise_v and_o broach_v very_o much_o to_o the_o detriment_n of_o their_o neighbour_n and_o reproach_n of_o religion_n yea_o there_o be_v that_o make_v it_o no_o small_a part_n of_o their_o business_n to_o invent_v &_o frame_v lie_n and_o scatter_a they_o abroad_o to_o amuse_v the_o world_n withal_o and_o to_o draw_v forth_o man_n sentiment_n of_o which_o they_o make_v their_o remark_n and_o of_o which_o they_o make_v matter_n of_o accusation_n there_o be_v also_o much_o deceive_v and_o overreach_a one_o another_o in_o deal_v the_o weak_a though_o the_o hone●●est_n go_v to_o the_o wall_n i_o say_v there_o be_v much_o of_o this_o among_o man_n think_v it_o not_o strange_a while_o there_o be_v so_o much_o dissemble_v with_o god_n himself_o you_o may_v look_v to_o meet_v with_o the_o like_a among_o man_n and_o it_o arise_v from_o the_o same_o principle_n the_o atheism_n that_o be_v in_o all_o mankind_n that_o which_o make_v they_o dare_v to_o lie_v to_o god_n will_v not_o let_v they_o stick_v at_o lie_v to_o man_n look_v for_o nothing_o but_o falsehood_n and_o mischief_n from_o he_o that_o make_v no_o conscience_n of_o essay_v to_o put_v his_o cheat_n upon_o the_o great_a god_n he_o that_o will_v adventure_v to_o lie_v to_o god_n direct_o will_v not_o stick_v more_o remote_o to_o lie_v to_o he_o as_o all_o lie_v to_o man_n be_v all_o sin_n be_v final_o against_o god_n 2._o see_v what_o little_a cause_n we_o have_v to_o boast_v of_o any_o merit_n in_o any_o of_o our_o service_n where_o there_o be_v so_o much_o deceit_n there_o can_v be_v no_o merit_n outward_a performance_n if_o they_o be_v only_o such_o be_v mere_a lie_n and_o therefore_o rather_o provocation_n unto_o god_n than_o obligation_n upon_o he_o hence_o when_o they_o trust_v to_o the_o temple_n of_o the_o lord_n and_o to_o their_o service_n and_o sacrifice_n there_o the_o lord_n tell_v they_o they_o trust_v in_o lie_a word_n jer._n 7._o 4_o 8_o but_o suppose_v they_o be_v sincere_a performance_n worship_v do_v in_o spirit_n and_o truth_n there_o will_v be_v no_o room_n for_o trust_v in_o or_o boast_v of_o they_o for_o the_o sincerity_n of_o the_o
