82 The (econd Cmnmandement. is, they are haters of()oti. So P1.·ou. I 3.24· he lhcwes that a fond parent, that JPareth rhe- rottde) hateth hh· child .: but hee feemes to loue him, and tobee fo tender ouer him, that hee cannot find in 'his heart to giue him correCtion; therefore he hates him, for that is hatred. So in Leuit. 1 9· 17. The Lord commands to admonifh our brother plainly, an'd not tohat1 him inour htart; fhev,·ing that ifany man be fo carnally affe– Cted to another~ that he cannot tell him ofbis fin ne, being loath to grieue h~m, bya fharpe reproofe, and to reprehend him, that he might be brought to repentance:he that is thus tender he~rted towards his friend, hath an hard heart againfi his friend, and this is an euill hatred. ~ Y/i 1... This then confittes fuch people, as in their blind c!'taritie will fay ofPapif1s,Oh,thcy be good boneftmen:and though they haue not fo flri& aregard ofGods worfhi.p ,as he com– m:tnds, yet, I_hope they loucGod, and hauc agaoJ heart to him. Nay, they be not honefl perfons, nor they do not Joue God, 'but they hate him. For rh is is, as ifa wife ihould fay, Indeed in mine husbands·abfence, I nmO haue another m~n to keep me company, and liewith me,to put me in remem– branceofmy husb.and, but yet I loue mine husband. But the husband, or any man dfe-, would account fmally of this · loue :·yea, rhey would iudge, the wife rather hated, th3n lo– ucd che husband. In fuch cafe are thofe, that muft looke on Idols, to helpe them lLl their deuotion, theymuAhaue fome Image to gaze on, that they may bee put in minde ofGod, and th.ey will proHitute themfelues to Hockcs, and flone_s, thereby to manifefl.the regard they haue ofGod :·but he wil · giue them fmall reward forthis lou~, yea_ ~hey fhall b~ ac.. counted of him as profeffed enemte_s of his name. So, for thofe parents that are fo kind to. their children, and Ioue them fo dearely, that thry cannot bri'ng them vp in nurture ana correCtion, and in the feare ofGocl, they cannot crolfe them, or go again!l them in their i1l courfe: fuch a parent is a moll rnortaH foe, as ofcen the children feele afterwards, and accordingly recompence rhem :-for they Joued themwith a falfe l:oue,but the children reward it wit'h.a.rruehaue:d.So,he· . abat willnotoffendhisfdend),liortroublehim,, with~ tdhng: - -· · : -. ~im; . ... .... ,.
