Prov. 30.11. Mat. 23.27.
There is a generation vile,
yet pure in their own eyes,
But are not cleansed all the while
from their impurities:
They are like Tombs, those painted ones,
that glister to the eye,
When full within of dead mens bones,
and all impurity.
Luke 16.15.18.9.
They justifie themselves to men,
as if they had no sin:
But God well knows the hearts of them,
and what doth lodge within.
They trust upon themselves likewise
to be a righteous sort,
But other people they despise
as altogether short.
Isa. 65.5. Luke 16.15.
They say, stand by thy self apart,
and come not near to me,
For I am holier than thou art,
but God knows what they be.
These are a smoak, saith God most high,
within my Nose too strong,
And as a fire of Jealousie,
that burneth all day long.
Job 36.13, 14.
For lo! the Hypocrite in heart,
shall heap up wrath extream,
They often in their youth depart,
whose life's among th' unclean,
