2 Timothy3:5
Verſe 5. Having a form of godlineſſe] Hollow profeſſours are as hollow trees in an old wood; tall, but pithleſſe, ſapleſſe, unſound. Their formality is fitly compared to a bulruſh, whereof the colour is freſh, [illegible: 1 word] 58.3. the skin ſmooth, he is very exact that can finde a knot in a bulruſh: But pill it, and what ſhall you finde within but a kinde of ſpongeous unſubſtantiall ſubſtance, &c. Theſe as if religion were a Comedy, do in voice and geſture act divine duties, in heart renounce them.
