<p>There is a generation of men, that will praise the saints who are gone to <em>heaven</em>—and yet mock and afflict the saints on <em>earth;</em>so that were all those saints alive again, whom they now so much honour, I dare affirm, they would persecute them. <br><br>Like the Jews, they can garnish the sepulchres of the righteous—and yet they are the descendants of those who murdered the prophets!<br><br>
    Dissembling world! your <em>tongue </em>embalms a dead saint—while your <em>hand </em>inflicts a wound on the living saints!<br><br> You can praise God for those who are departed <em>in </em>the faith—and yet persecute God in those who will not depart <em>from </em>the faith.<br><br> O foolish world, you must of necessity condemn yourself—for your <em>praise </em>has left your <em>practice </em>without excuse!
