233. Some men lend, looking for nothing again; such lending is giving: others give, looking for ⟨p. 62⟩something again; such giving is but lending: others give and lend, for he that giveth to the poor, lendeth to the Lord; this is putting to use without usury; this is laying up by laying out.

234. Many men do in words confess God, who do in works deny God; such men shall not be judged by their words, but by their works. Satan's condemnation will not be the less that he quoted Scripture, and called Jesus Christ the Son of God, that he believes, & trembles, and is transformed into an Angel of light: nor will it fare the better, but be far the worse with such men as have had a form of godliness, and denied the power thereof, seeing they have held the truth in unrighteousness; 'twill profit nothing to have been a professor of piety, seeing they were workers of iniquity: Nay, their condemnation will be the greater, for saying, I go Sir, but went not. Oh remember, ⟨p. 63⟩if godliness be good, why wilt not practise it? if it be evil, why wilt profess it? if thou wilt name the Name of the Lord, depart from iniquity, for what else hast thou (thou bold brazen-faced sinner) what hast thou to do to take Gods Name into thy mouth, and hatest to be reformed? Think on this ye that forget God, lest he tear you in pieces, and there be none to deliver.
