- 1Whose heart doth secretly loath the presence of holiness. Who loathes the generation of the Saints. Who can reproach the beauties of holiness. Who will venture the loss of Gods favour, rather than forsake his lusts. Who opposeth the Ordinances, because they press holiness. Who counts it a disgrace to be holy. Who lives in open profaneness.
