Isaiah57:4

4 Against whom do ye sport your selves ? against whom make ye a wide mouth, and draw out the tongue ? are ye not children of transgression, a seed of falshood ?

Consider whom it is that you mock and scoff when you deride Gods Prophets, as they did, Isa. 28. 14, 22. and know that it is not so much Men that you abuse, as God, whose Cause they plead, and in whose name they speak.

These are the known and common gestures of Mockers, of which see Iob 16. 10. Psal. 22. 7. & 35. 21.

Either an adulterous brood, as was said before: or, a Generation of Liars, whose practices grosly contradict your principles and professions, who deal deceitfully and perfidiously both with God and with Men.
