As many lie, by speaking more good of themselves then is true, or by denying that evil which in truth they are guilty of; so he that submits to that guilt which he is free from, or confesseth more evil of himself then is true, lieth against his own soul. So did that Amalekite (2 Sam: 1.10. compared with 2 Sam: 31.4.) charge himself falsely with killing Saul in hope of a reward from David for his good news. As no man ought to lie against another, much less against himself; And as that man doth wickedly belie himself, who saith he is better then he is, (for that's horrible hypocrisy; all such God will unmask one time or other, who thus cover themselves with lies, and say (like those in the Prophet) they have dreamed when they have seen nothing, but the vain fancies of their own brains, nor felt any thing but the presumption of their false hearts; Now (I say) as he doth wickedly belly himself who saith he is better then he is) so for any man to deny that good which God hath done for him, or wrought in him, or what he hath done or wrought in the fear and power ⟨p. 524⟩of God, is a dangerous way of denying and belying his own right.
