God is against you dissembling Professors, who adorn the outside, serve God in notions, words and outside forms, but the heart is not upright with God, you are in the earth, in your covetousness which is Idolatry, and the Lord abhors the outside worship, when the heart is not answerable, and calls such whited walls, and painted sepulchers, hypocrites, serpents, generation of vipers, and the woe is to such, how can you escape the damnation of hell? Mat. 23. God is against you proud lustful ones, who makes it your greatest care to deck yourselves in proud attire, inventing new ways and fashions to make yourselves glorious in the sight of men, that they may worship you and honour you, but consider not that you are but dust, and God will lay your honour in the dust, for he is Risen to whom all worship and honour is due, and he will bring down your haughtiness and your pride, and Ezek 3● 16, will exalt the humble and meek, and will seek that which was lost, but will destroy the fat with judgement.
