And now if the best works of wicked men are so unclean and full of filthiness in Gods eyes, where then shall appear their confessed sins? If their prayers and devotions stink, how much more their oaths and execrations? If their sacrifices and that which they offer to God is unclean, how unclean is their sacrilege and that which they steal from him? If their mercies be cruel, how cruel their malice, murders, br•beries, oppressions▪ If there be so much filthiness in their profession, how much more in their persecution, in their reviling and scorning ⟨p. 328⟩of the ways of God? If their fastings and maceration be sinful and not unto the Lord, Zach. 7. 5. What is their drunkenness, their spewing and staggering, their clamours and uncleanness, all their cursed complements and ceremonies of damnation?
