John Trapp on Romans 2:21

Verſe 21. Teachest thou not thy ſelf!] He that knows well, and does worſe, is but as a whiffler which carrieth a torch in his hand to ſhew others his own deformities. I have read of a woman, who living in profeſſed doubt of the Godhead, after better illumination and repentance,M Wards, Hap of p[illegible: 1 letter]act. did often proteſt, That the vitious life of a great ſcholar in that town did conjure up thoſe damnable doubts in her ſoul, Neronis illud (quantus artifex pereo?) quadrabit in te peritum & periturum. That's the beſt Sermon that's dig'd out of a mans own breſt. Origens teaching and living were ſaid to be both one.
