Sometimes men they seek to deceive, and they are discovered, and so they are rendered base and contemptible to all the world; yea, but sometimes again, they may carry it so cunningly, as they shall never be discovered, perhaps in this world, but they shall gain, as Ephraim saith here, I am become rich and have gotten substance, but what hope hath this hypocrite though he hath gained? what profit shall it be though thou hast gained the whole world and shalt lose thy own soul?
