your oblations will be vain, and your incense abominable. If ye be wil•ing and obedient, you shall be blessed: but if ye refuse and rebel ye shall be destroyed; for the mouth of the Lord hath spoken it. If you do well shall you not be accepted? but if ye do evil,1 sin lieth at the door. Let your profession be never so great, and your parts and expressions never so Seraphical, sin is a reproach to any people: And if you would hid your selves from justice in the purest Church, among the holiest people, and the most numerous and longest prayers, be sure that your sin will find you out. Your secret lust, your covetous over-reaching, your secret gluttony or2 tippling▪ much more your crimson sins will surely find you out.
