Here was a mixture of impiety,1 in making religion a cloak to revenge, and of fraud in harbouring and intending, and yet disguising revenge.

- 1Deceit is a great sin. Prov. 6.10 18. & 26.26.
So dealt Absalom with his Father David, and the shame of such shall break forth in the Congregation, he is a fool, though he thinks himself wise.

Now I beseech you take heed of deceit and guile, the deceitful shall not live out half his days. To hate, and yet dissemble with his lips, laying up deceit within him, is a loathsome thing. It is a part of the description of an unsanctified man,1 With their tongues they have used deceit; Nature teacheth men to blame this sin in others, therefore nature gives light enough to discover it in ones self. Shame it therefore, and hate it: It is bad to have used this fraud for covetousness or ambition sake, to get wealth or honour, by over-reaching others; but it is worst of all when it is joined with revenge and with bloodiness, that a man make himself a bloody and deceitful man. It is naught when only good will is pretended, but when religion is made the cloak of cruelty and villainy, this is to abuse the noblest thing in the world, by making it a drudge to the basest.
