12 The holy Ghost, Ezech. 24. 6, compareth hypocrites to a pot that outwardly seetheth, but within the scum remaineth. And Hosea in his 7. chapter compareth them to a1 cake, whereof the one side is well baked, and the other side is plain dow. And Christ compareth them in his days, to such as wash the outside of the cup and platter, but leave the inside filthy.
