The Hypocrite described. [ 674]
THe Army of Philopaemon,* 1.1 a great Commander amongst the Grecians, is like∣ned
unto a man, that hath leggs and feet, and no belly, because they wanted
mony,* 1.2 the sinewes of war. And it is more than probable, that in the Church mili∣tant,
there be divers, that have leggs and feet, but no belly; they have the leggs and
the feet of outward conversation, but they want the heart and the belly of inward de∣votion:
N••n vitae sed famae negotiat••res, (as Tertullian makes the character) Such as
negotiate and trade more for a good name, than a good life; for a good report, than a
good conscience: like Fidlers, that are more carefull in tuning their Instruments,
than composing their lives; making a shew of godlinesse, but denying the power
thereof.
