what profit] It would be a strong bridle of restraint from sinne, if we would but pose our selves with the question of profit, What shall we get to gaine the good will of men, and lose the love of God? what ease will it be to our minds to sacrifice innocent blood to our wrath, and when that is allayed, to raise a tmpest of anguish, and feare, in our own consciences? what profit to winne the whole world and lose our own souls? Matthew 16:26. see Romans 6:21. and conceale his blood] Conceale it from men, when it will cry to God for vengeance against us, Genesis 4:10. Job 16:18.
