intemperance; like window cushions made up of Velvet, and perhaps richly em∣broydered, but stuff'd within with Hay;* 1.2 Or like some mockbegger halls, or houses in the Country that are built with lofty Turrets, that are presently in the Travai∣lers eye; and if they draw nearer to view, they find them built with stately Por∣ches, neat Galleries, fine Stair-cases, curious Gate-houses, but not one conveni∣ent lodging Chamber, nor any Hospitality at all; They have much to entertain the Passenger,* 1.3 and the Viewer; they will entertain you with fine notions, choice dis∣courses; but if ye dwell with them, ye shall find very ill accommodation, ye shall hear of them as ye ride through the Country, they have the name amongst Profes∣sors, they carry it away from others:* 1.4 but you shall experience it, that they are not such as are spoken, they are not furnished indeed to be Hospitable to the weary Christian, they cannot close with any godly spirit, because they move by a clean contrary Principle.
