First, they are deeply sicke of the pharisaicall humor, they love to be seene of men, and say with Jehu, Come and see how zealous I am for the Lord of hosts:  they proclaime their almes with a trumpet, paint their good deedes upon Church windowes, engrave their legacies upon tombes, have their acts upon record:  Thus, Comets blaze more then fixed Starres.  Aguish heats breede flushings, & are more seen in the face, then natural warmth at the heart.  Schollers count hiding of Art the best Art:  the godly man studies by all meanes how to conceale the one hand from the other, in doing well; hiding of zeale is the best zeale.

Secondly, of Ahabs disease exceeding in externall humiliation, affected gestures, passionate sighes, lowdnesse of voyce, odde attires & such like:  These know how to rend the garment, hang the head with the bulrush, to whip and launce their skinnes with Baals Priests; and yet strangers to a wounded spirit:  not but that true and hearty zeale doth lift up the eyes, knocke the breast, dance before the Arke.  Therefore this character may deceive the unwarie; Let Ely take heede of judging Hanna’s Spirit rashly by the mooving of her lips:  yet hypocrites so usually straine nature and without a cause exceed, and that in publique, and upon the stage, that for the most part, their actions and affections are palpable:  as Jesuites, Cappuchins, &c. yea in many histrionicall Protestants:  Horse-coursers jades will bound, curvet and shew more tricks, then a horse well mettled for the rode or cart.

Fourthly, these fires cannot keepe themselves within their owne hearths, these spirits cannot keepe themselves within their owne circles.  True zeale loves to keepe home, studieth to bee quiet in other mens Dioces:  false zeale loves to be gadding, is eagle-ey’d abroad and mole-ey’d at home:  Insteed of burning bright and shining cleere; like brinish lights, they sparkle & spet at others, or like ill couched fire-workes let fly on all sides:  onely out of their wisdome they know how to spare Agag and the great ones, and bee sure they anger not their great Masters, and meddle with their matches:  whereas
