It is like that of S. John: lHe that saith, I know him, and keepeth not his Commandments, lieth. But what then? Doth every one that knoweth God, keep his Commandments? Doth not S. Paul say of some, that mwhen they know God, they glorified him not as God? yea, but nsuch knowledge, in S. Johns account, is as no knowledge: it is at least oas good as none. So, pExecute judgement, saith God; and he saith not, right judgement; because qWrong judgement is no judgement, but mis judgement, saith Augustine. And ra Name, saith Solomon, (and he saith not, a good Name; as if an evil Name were no Name) is sbetter than riches; or tthan a good ointment. And those rebellious builders of the Tower of Babel; uLet us get us a Name: and those great ones before the Flood, xMen of Name, or renown. And on the contrary, we say of some, that they are yMen of no note, or no Name; that is, zof no great note, of no good Name; as it other than such were none. And in like sort here Solomon, He that findeth a Wife, meaning only a good Wife; as if none but such deserved that Name.
It is like that of S. Iohn: lHe that saith, I know him, and keepeth not his Commandements, lieth. But what then? Doth euerie one that knoweth God, keepe his Commandements? Doth not S. Paul say of some, that mwhen they know God, they glorified him not as God? yea, but nsu•h knowledge, in S. Iohns account, is as no knowledge: it is at least oas good as none. So, pExecute iudgement, saith God; and hee saith not, right iudgement; because qWrong iudgement is no iudgement, but mis iudgement, saith Augustine. And ra Name, saith Salomon, (and hee saith not, a good Name; as if an euill Name were no Name) is sbetter than riches; or tthan a good ointment. And those rebellious builders of the Tower of Babel; uLet vs get vs a Name: and those great ones before the Floud, xMen of Name, or renow•. And on the contrarie, we say of some, that they are yMen of no note, or no Name; that is, zof no great note, of no good Name; as it other than such were none. And in like sort here Salomon, He that findeth a Wife, meaning onely a good Wife; as if none but such deserued that Name.
