Again, Cursing belongs to Hypocrites; Woe be unto you Scribes and Pharisees, Hypocrites, Matthew 23. Now, what a man doth not out of love, is done out of hypocrisy; which is, to do the outward action without the inward affection: as counterfeit gold hath the same stamp and colour with true gold. But as we cast away counterfeit silver and gold, set it apart to destruction, nailing them up, that they may be known, so will God deal with such as serve him outwardly, without this love to him.
Againe, Cursing belongs to Hypocrites; Woe be unto you Seribes and Pharisees, Hypocrites, Matthew 23. Now, what a man doth not out of love, is done out of hypocrisie; which is, to doe the outward action without the inward affection: as counterfeit gold hath the same stamp and colour with true gold. But as wee cast away counterfeit silver and gold, set it apart to destruction, nayling them up, that they may bee knowne, so will God deale with such as serve him outwardly, without this love to him.
Love is that which commands all in a man. It is as the rudder to a ship; all follows love. 1When a man love not the Lord, all go's from him. Now when the whole man shall go from the Lord, is not such a one worthy to be cursed, yea to be had in execration to the death?
