3. That prescribes very ill, preacheth seditiously and lewdly, yet lives without any notorious crime, or scandalous imputation. This is an hypocritical trick of heretical Physicians. hBeware of false Prophets, that comes to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly are ravening wolves. Thus the Popish Fryers, like the false visionists in Zacharies Prophecy, will iwill wear a rough garment to deceive withal. Their austerity shall be stricter then John Baptists, but not with intent to bring one soul to Christ.

So this mystical one (for he is a servant to the mystery of iniquity) so amazeth the people with a fair show of outward sanctimony; that whiles they gaze at his good parts with admiration, they swallow the venom of his doctrine without suspicion.
