But when men come to know,1 there is no peace to the ungodly, and namely, whilst they lye in any known sin, and when they have confessed and professed against it; yet become slaves to it again, this is in no wise tolerable: such by custom, and long lying therein, provide, that when they would show themselves best of all; yet they cannot then deal plainly, but they shall bewray themselves, to such as can judge, that they do but halt, and deal hollowly, as Saul here did. For, what ⟨p. 284⟩doth more bewray them, then their own words, when they shall be ready to allege, being urged to uprightness and care; they hope there is reason in all things, an they cannot be Saints, they say, in this life, and they are sure all are sinners, with such like.
