The fool is the wicked: an ignorant heart is always a sinful heart: and a man without knowledge, is a man without grace. So Tamar to Ammon under his ravishing hands; aDo not this folly. If thou doest it, Thou shalt be as one of the Fools in Israel. Ignorance cannot excusare a toto; wilful not a tanto. bChrist shall come in flaming fire rendering vengeance to them that know not God. The state of these Fools is fearful. Like hooded Hawks, they are easily carried by the Infernal Falconer to hell. Their lights are out, how shall their house ⟨p. 72⟩scape robbing? cThese Fools have a knowledge, but it is to do evil. They have also a knowledge of good, but not scientiam approbationis: they know, but they refuse it. So God justly quits them: for though he know them ad scientiam, he will not know them ad approbationem. But gives them a Discedite, nescio vos. dI know you not: depart from me ye workers of iniquity.
