So far is their Learning and Arts from making them juft andhappy, that they abound with all manner of odious Ihameful Sins (here named) 32. Who knowing the judgment ofGod, that they which commit fuch things are worthy of death, not on- lydo the fame, but havepleafure in' them that do them. 32. And all their knowledge (of Giiod and Evil) is fo far from 'ratifying or San&ifying them, that they live in the pra&ice of that which they knowGod Both condemn, and in their So- cieties and Converfation make it their delight. C H A P. II. a. Herefore thouart inexcufable, O Iran, whofoever thou art that judgeft : for wherein thou judg- eft another,thou condemneft thy felt; for thou that judgeft, doeft the fame things. t. Therefore thou that think& highly ofthy (elf, for thy Knowledge, and bafely ofothers,as ignorant or barbarous, art fo far from being ju- 'ftified by this, that it aggravateth thy Sin, and leaveth thee without encule t For thou liveft in as great Sin, as thofe whom thou'condemneft as Ignorant. 2.
