Now, that a bad name is a broad shame, it appears; because no Stews-haunter would be called a Whore-monger. No Papist an Idolater, no Usurer an Usurer. All sinners are ashamed to be accounted, what they have assumed to be. But it is certain that he that is ashamed of his name, his name may be ashamed of him. As thou lovest thy reputation with men, seek the testimony of thine own conscience. It is the best fame, that carries credit with God. Let men say, what they list, Oh Lord thou knowest mine innocence. Yet, because it is hard to do good, unless a man be reputed good, therefore dare not to darken the light of thy name, by the gross clouds of thy Impieties. This is the second destruction that continued Vice brings her Lovers. cA wound and dishonour shall he get, and his reproach shall not be wiped away. When he hath done it, he is undone by it. Perdit honorem, perdendo honestatem. The dishonesty in ⟨p. 157⟩him, shall bring dishonour to him▪ he builds, Haman-like a gallows for his own credit.

All sinners are ashamed to be accounted, what they haue assumed to be. But it is certaine that he that is ashamed of his name, his name may be ashamed of him. As thou louest thy reputation with men, seeke the testimonie of thine owne conscience. It is the best fame, that carries credit with God. Let men say, what they list, Oh Lord thou knowest mine innocence. Yet, because it is hard to do good, vnlesse a man be reputed good, therefore dare not to darken the light of thy name, by the grosse cloudes of thy Impieties. This is the second destruction that continued Vice brings her Louers. cA wound and dishonour shall he get, and his reproach shall not be wiped away. When hee hath done it, he is vndone by it. Perdit honorem, perdendo honestatem. The dishonestie in ⟨p. 157⟩him, shall bring dishonour to him▪ he builds, Haman-like a gallowes for his owne credite.
