Before you cry unto the Lord, hear what ⟨p. 94⟩the word crieth unto you, and let not your works cry for vengeance while your tongues cry for mercy.
Before you crie vnto the Lord, heare what ⟨p. 94⟩the word crieth vnto you, and let not your woorkes crie for vengeaunce while your tongues crie for mercie.
When men hear the preacher speak against pride, hypocrisy, covetousness, or any other sin, then they look one upon another, as though it belonged not unto them: but who can say his hart is clean? In the second of the Acts, the holy Ghost 1came down in fire & tongs: but this fire is quenched, and the tongues are tied up: though they cannot speak, they can see; they can see if a great benefice fall though it be an hundred miles off: yet Pharaoh had more care of his sheep, then we have of our souls.
