133. Many men love the sin, that cannot abide the name; they love pride, but it must be called decency; love covetousness, but it must be called thrift and good husbandry; love flattering and dissembling, but it must be called civility, and good breeding: and many times the same persons love the name of grace, but cannot abide the grace; they hate godliness, yet would be called godly; loath Christianity, ⟨p. 32⟩yet would be called Christians: let such know, that sin without the name will damn, and the name of grace without grace will not save. Lord, let me be more taken with godliness, then with the name; and not at all with sin, though it have not the name.
