So some men they have no Religion, they have no consistence, no standing, no strength or goodness of their own, but such as their company ⟨p. 270⟩is, such they are, and they think this will serve for all. I must do as others do, it is the fashion of the world: If they be among Swearers, they will swear: if they be among those that ate unclean, they will pollute themselves, they frame themselves to all companies: they will be all, but that which they should be. This will not serve the turn.
