Christians, if you would not be found chaff at the great day, take heed of a reviling Tongue, least you deceive your selves, and all your Religion and Profession be vain: He either deceiveth 1his own heart (saith our Annotators) in thinking himself religious, when indulging himself in things contrary to Religion, or else deceiveth his own heart, being blinded with self love, and lifted up with self-conceit, which is the cause of his Railing, Censuring, and speaking evil of others: Their Religion is vain, empty, and to no purpose, having no reality in it self, and bringeth no Benefit to them.

This I say may discover such to be but chaff.
