In Gods Law, we may see it a foul spot, not only to lye and bear false witness against any man; but also, not to have as great a care over thy neighbours name, as over thine own.
In Gods Law, we may see it a foule spot, not onely to lye and beare false witnes against any man; but also, not to haue as great a care ouer thy neighbours name, as ouer thine owne.
Sin in Gods Law it is we may see, and a foul spot, not only to consent ⟨p. 29⟩to evil lust, or carnal desires, but even the very natural or carnal lusts, and desires themselves, for so I may call them: nature it self, being now so corrupted, are sin, and self-love, and many such like. By reason whereof, I think there is none that looketh well therein, but though he be blameless to the world, & fair to the show; yet certainly, inwardly his face is foul arrayed, and so shameful, saucy, mangy, pocky, and scabbed, that he cannot but be sorry at the contemplation thereof, and that so much more, by how much he continueth to look in this glass accordingly.
