Titus1:16

Verſe 16. They proſeſſe that they know] Aliud in titulo, aliud in pyxi[illegible: 1 letter]e. Out-fide Chriſtians, who perform as Ephraim, dow-b[illegible: 1 letter]ked duties, are almoſt perſwaded, as Agrippa, come near Gods kingdome with that young Phariſee; faint chapmen that go without the bargain, as he did that came kneeling to our Saviour, and ſaying, What ſhall I[illegible: 1 letter]d, to inherit eternall life? Theſe do vir[illegible: 1 letter]ut is ſtrag[illegible: 1 letter]lam pudeſacere, put honeſty to an open ſhame, as Diogenes ſaid to Antipater, who being vicious wore a white cloak, the enſ go of innocency.

Being abominable] [non-Latin text not transcribed]. Gr. Such as ſtink above ground, and are of an offenſive ſavour.

To every good work reprobate] Or injudicious: ſuch as cannot make a right judgement of any good works, ſo as to approve and reliſh them, to ſee a beauty in them, as good, &c.
