Isaiah5:20
20 Wo unto them that call evil good, and good evil ; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter.
That take away the difference between Good and Evil, that justifie and approve wicked Men and Things, and condemn Piety, or Vertue, or righteous Persons. Compare [illegible: 1 word]. 17. 15. Thus many call Serious Godliness, Humourous Singularity; and Justice, Morofity; and Meekness, Stupidity, &c. as on the contrary▪ [illegible: 1 word] call Pride, Magnanimity; and Covetousness, Good▪ [illegible: 1+ letters]andry. And men are very apt to follow the Course of the World in their false Judgments of things; which therefore the Prophet so severely forbids.
Marginal references: Heb. that say concerning evil, It is good, &c.
