Your 4. Reason to prove that the profession of the mayn truth before layd down is of force to make a true Christian, is, that by* 1.1 it the man so professing doth differ from Iewes, Turks, Pagans, & Papists.
He doth in deed, for he is so much worse then they, by his ver∣ball* 1.2 profession of the truth, taking Gods name in vayn, and dis∣honouring it farr more then the other. 1 Tim. 5. 8. Isa. 52. 5.

Yea to conclude, I tell you Mr B. and not I but the holy Ghost (and I pray you consider it well) that a lewd cō∣versation and evill conscience is as damnable a sin▪ and as direct∣ly against the nature of faith in the sonne of God, and the truth of the gos∣pel, and doth as plainly destroy faith, and prejudice salvation, as any
