A commentary or, exposition upon the divine second epistle general, writtenA commentary or, exposition vpon the diuine second epistle generall, written

1 The dissolute and scattering rioter, that draws his patrimony through his throat; he denies CHRIST, will be not believe it? let him read, 1 Tim. 5.8. If any provide not for his own, he hath denied the faith, and is worse than an Infidel. Where is no humanity, there can be no piety: he that is not a good moral man, will never be a good Christian. He is worse than an Infidel, because he transgresseth name, ⟨p. 395⟩which teacheth us all providence even the very beast, much more man. He sinneth against the knowledge he hath received, therefore is the worst offender. The pu••st ivory is turned by the fire into the deepest black. We use to extenuate the ••fulnesse of such a one; He hath no fault, but a little too kind hearted: it is […] one; He hath no fault, but that he hath denied the faith. He is no mans foe but his •wne; yes he is his Posterities foe, and no friend unto Christ.
