[ 1076] Profession without Practice, signifieth nothing.
WHen we see an Image stand still without motion,* 1.1 be it the effigies or por∣traiture
of any Emperour or King, or (if possible to be contracted within
the bounds of humane limits) the picture of some Common-wealth, exquisitly
graven in mettall, or painted out in lively colours; we know, that for all the
eyes, and mouth, and nose that it hath, it hath no life in it. So, when we see
professors of religion, without the powerfull practice of godlinesse; and supream Offi∣cers
of State, without the administration of Iustice, we know, and can safely con∣clude,
that the life of God is not in them, that they are not acted by any divine
principle within, but are meer Idolls, and Images of vanity.
