In our lives we are to desire and to endeavour that we may adorn the profession of religion by renoun∣cing all ungodlinesse, &c. to set God before our eyes, that we may walk uprightly as in his sight; to walk inoffensively, Heb. 12. 13. Otherwise, if we professe religion, and renounce not our sinnes, nor put off the old man; if we call our selves the chil∣dren of the light, and yet walk in darknesse; we profane the name of God and his religion. And this is done, 1. In respect of God by hypocrisie, 2. Tim. 3. 5. when as the profession of religion is pretended to worldly or wicked respects. 2. In respect of men by the profane and dissolute life of common Chri∣stians, and by the falls and scandals of them that would seem the best professours. If we continue in this course and please our selves therein, we cannot make this prayer in truth, &c.
