but there
are
not
many,than
can
do
fo,'but
there's
no
wicked man
but
can
reach
anothe.r,b
;
the
tongue.
Every wicked
hates thole
that
áre godly,
an
therefore
will
be ready to
reach
themby
the tongue
:
So
that
it's
impoil
bie
for
any
to
live
godly, but
he
mull
fuffer from
the
tongues of
men
,
it
is
poflible for
a
man
to livefo
as
to
be
deli-
vered
from
the
hands of
wicked men, but never
from
their
tongues, becaufe every wicked man
can
reach
them that
way,
and
their hearts
hate them, in
Prov:
16.27:
An
ungodly
max
,diggeth up evilly
and in
his
lip: there
is
a
burning-fire :
if
he
can
fee no
evill
in
thofe
that are godly,
he will
digg for ir, he will
labourto
find
it
out,
nay
he
will frame
it,
and
conceive
it,
if
he
cannot
get
any
reali
evil,
he
-digs
for
it
:
And
in
his
lips
there
is a
burnitti fire,'
in
fpeaking
evill,
and
provokingly.
And
the ungodly they
look'upon
the
wayes
of
God
as
irratio-
nal
wayes, they
can fee
no
reafon
for
them,
and
hence
it
is
that they revile the
Saints,
They do not underfaand
their
principles
in
their
wayes,
and
therefore they
think
they
are
but
hypocrites,
for
indeed if
a
wicked
man
fhould do
the
fame
thing that
the
Saints
do,
hewouldbe
an
hypocrite,
becaufe he
hath
not
principles
to
carry him through
:
Now
they do not
know
their
principles
to
carry
them through,
therefore
they
fay
they
are
hypocrites, and falfe, and
revile them
with
ill
names.
Yea
they fee
the
godly
in
their
wayes
to
condemn
them,
and
that inrages
them:
The
godly challenge
a
more interef
in
God
then they have, and that they
cannot
bare, therefore
they will
invent
all
the
wayes in
the world they can, to
call
contempt
upon
them
:
Forìf
they (hould nor,
their
godlineife
Would
make
them
honourable in
the
eyes
-of
the world,
and
they
do
envy
the
honour
that
they have, becaufe they
are
dif-
honour'd, and
difgrac'd
