is left as the Epiâ—…me of the General history of Davids life It is twice recorded in the Scripture 2 Sam. 22. and in this Book of Psalms for the Excellency and Sweetness thereof surely that we should take double notice of it Holy David being near the shore here looks on his former Dangers and Deliverances with a thankful heart and writes this Psalm to bless the Lord As if each of you that are grown into years should review your lives and observe the wonderful Goodness and Providence of God towards you and then sit down and write a modest Memorial of his most remarkable mercies for the comfort of your selves and your posterity An excellent practise What a comfort would it be for you to read how good your God was to your Father or Grandfather that are dead and gone So would your children rejoyce in the Lord upon the reading of his Goodness to you and you cannot have a better pattern for this than holy David who wrote this Psalm when he was threescore and seven years old when he had out-liv'd most of his troubles and almost ready for his journey to his Father in heaven he resolves to leave this good Report of him upon Earth And I pray mark how he begins he setâ—… not up Trophies to himself but Triumphs in his God I will love thee O Lord my strength As the love Of God is the beginning of all our mercies so love To God should be the end and effect of them all As the stream leads us to the spring so all the gifts of God must lead us to the giver of them Lord thou hast saved me from sickness I will love thee from Death and Hell I will love thee on me thou hast bestowed Grace and comfort I will love thee O Lord my strength And after he had heaped on God all the sweet names he could devise vers 2. As a true Saint thinks he can never speak too well of God or too ill of himself then he begins his Narrative I. Of his Dangers verse 4 5. Snares of death Flouds of ungodly men Sorrows of Hell Hell and Earth are combin'd against each Holy man and will trouble him sufficiently in this World if they cannot keep him out of a better II. Of his retreat and that was earnest prayer to God verse 6. I called upon thâ—… Lord and cryed unto my God When our Prayers are Cryes ardent and importunate then they speed my Cry came before him â—…ven into his ears The mother trifles while the child whimpers but when he raises his note strains every nerve and tries every vein then she throws all aside and gives him his desire While our Prayers are only Whispers our God can take his rest but when we fall to crying now will I arise saith the Lord. III. Of his Rescue verse 7. to 20. By the powerful and terrible Arm of the Lord who is in a lofty strain brought in to his servants help as if he would mingle Heaven and Earth together rather than leave his Child in the Lyons paws IV. Of the Reason of this gracious dealing of God with him verse 20 c. He was a righteous Person and he had a righteous Cause And thereupon he turns to God saying Thou hast dealt with me just as thou art wont to do For with the merciful thou wilt shew thy self merciful and with the upright man thou wilt shew thy self upright SECTION II. ANd so we are arriv'd at the Text itself which being resolv'd is an intire Proposition containing 1. A Subject aâ—… Upright man 2. A Predicate or what is spoke of him to or with him God will shew himself upright For Explication With or before him unto him An Upright The same word is oft translated Perfect hec's good throughout though not throughly not one that personates Religion but that is a Religious Person He is perfect because he would be so So Noah is termed Gen. 6. 9. Noah was a just man and perfect i. e. upright in his Generation he was a good man in a bad Age. He was like a glowing spark of fire in a Sea of Water which is perfect goodness and therefore the Holy Ghost doth so hang upon his Name as if he could not give over It is an excellent Preachers observation verse 8. But Noah was a just man and perfect in his Generations and Noah walked with God And Noah found grace in the eyes of the Lord. These are the Generations of Noah Noah begat three Sons Noah Noah Noah I love the sound of thy name and so are all your names precious to God though hated by men if the Name of God be dear and sweet to you 'T is also sometimes translated Plain Gen. 25. 27. Jacob was 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 a plain that is an upright man dwelling in Tents Esau was a cunning hunter but Jacob was a plain man without welt or gard you might know his heart by his tongue save once when Rebeccah put a cunning trick into his head otherwise he was a most upright downright man And the plain meaning of it is a simple cordial unfeigâ—…d and exact man this is the man we are looking for Man This Substantive the Hebrews use to drown in the Adjective but here the Holy Ghost exhibits a word and a choice one too signifying a Strong Valiant man the same word Psal. 45. 3. O mighty man that 's meant of our Lord Christ who was a most strong and valiant man that could meet the wrath of God the malice of the Devil and the sin of man in the face and come off with triumph And so the Dutch translate this clause in 2 Sam. 22. With the right valiant person thou behavest thy self upright In short if the words were literally translated they run thus a man of uprightnesses that is every way you behold him an upright man like an even Dye cast him which way you will he will be found square and right A stiff and strong man to tread down both lusts within and temptations without An Athanasius contra mundum A Luther contra Romam this is a man of an an excellent spirit and such is our upright man Thou wilt shew thy self upright or wilt be upright with him for one word in the Hebrew makes all these six thou wilt upright it with him If men will deal plainly with God he will deal plainly with them He that is upright in performing his duty shall find God upright in performing his Promises It is Gods way to carry to men as they carry to him If thou hast a Design to please him he will have a Design to please thee if thou wilt Eccho to him when he calls hee 'l Eccho to thee when thou call'st On the other side if a man will wrestle with God he will wrestle with him if thou wilt be fast and loose with him and walk frowardly towards him thou shalt have as good as thou bringest if thou wilt provoke him with never-ending sins
day long yea all thy life long which is but a long day The Religion of an hypocrite is like a tireing horse which may go apace in the morning and shew much mettal for a while but the upright man though more soberly yet goes more constantly and in this sense that is most true Prov. 10. 9. He that walks uprightly walks surely You shall finde this man with savoury thoughts in his heart at noon with Ejaculations at his work and there is a coherence between his duties and his life In a word and so I 'le end this point the Upright man hath four Walks towards God which will set him forth to the life 1. The upright man walks Before God Gen. 17. 1. Walk before me and be thou perfect or upright And that is whereby the upright man habitually alwayes and actually as much as in him lies Sets the Lord alwayes before him and still thinks and speaks and acts as if he lookt on weighing not only the matter but the manner and motives of his wayes acquitting himself still to his God 2 Cor. 2. 17. As of sincerity as of God in the sight of God speak we in Christ. Happy for ever that Minister that can call God to record on his soul that as no errours corrupt his Doctrine so no base ends corrupt his heart but that he preaches Christs will sincerely as if the Lord himself look'd on 2. The upright man walks with God So Enoch Gen. 5. 22. And Enoch walked with God That is so to live as if the Holy God were in person walking with you on Earth or as if you were walking with him in Heaven If God should visibly walk with you on earth as he was a while with Abraham O with what humility sanctity watchfulness love and fear would you continually live what an humble and serious regard would you have towards him much more if you were to walk a while with him in Heaven what a frame would you there be in why this sence hath walking with God which no man hath skill in save the upright man he is constantly religious 3. The upright man walks After God Deut. 13. 4. Ye shall walk after the Lord your God and fear him and keep his Commandments and obey his voice Where he can see his God walk before him like a dutiful child he will though not aequis passibus walk after him as fast as he can This was the praise of Caleb Numbers 14. 24. that he followed God fully That word I am the Lord thy God makes every Thou shalt of his and every Thou shalt not acceptable to an upright man Come sayes God here 's a work I must have done here thou must give here forgive here 's a Saint must be loved for his own sake here 's a sinner must thou love and pity for my sake Ready Lord saith the upright man by thy Grace it shall be done this is to follow God fully this is to walk after God 4. The upright man walks Like God 1 John 2. 6. He that saith he abideth in him ought himself also so to walk even as he walked Now how did our Lord Jesus walk when he was upon earth why a mirrour and pattern of all humility justice charity meekness self-denial Think often when you are eating how did Christ order his meales do I give thanks like him discourse at table like him think often when you are hearing and praying did he hear and pray in such a manner as I do How would he carry himself among such neighbours how would he instruct and guide this Family how would he bear and improve these reproaches wants and troubles how would he appear for God is in such company how would he sanctisie the Sabbath how would he deal with such parents such children if he were in my place how quiet when provok'd how chast when tempted how just and true in his dealings how cautious of others names and how content with his own estate Put him often into your case and remember if ever you will live with him you must live like him And by this fruitful and good life you shew that God is upright and that there is no unrighteousness in him Psal. 29. last SECTION X. ANd thus I have opened in some poor measure an upright heart By all which dearly Beloved you may see the Absolute necessity of Regeneration I mean the through change of the heart from the state of nature to the state of grace For certainly mans heart by nature is false and far from this uprightness described How can the soul receive Christ Jesus as he is offered in his Gospel or resign it self to him without Regeneration how can the heart of a sinful child of Adam be either single or sound or pure or perfect or plain without Regeneration what man will study or practise Inward Universal and constant Religion till he be Regenerated Who will walk Before God With God After God Like God before his heart be changed Alas these things are neither conceived by the mind nor received by the will of a natural man He is ignorant in them and an enemy to them O Sirs you must be new creatures else all our treatie stands for nothing we must still begin here and can parly no further with you unless you yield in this Will ye be renewed in the Spirit of your mind Would you give all the world for a new Heart till then you are but rotten at the heart you walk in a vain shew for all your talk against hypocrites you are errand hypocrites and shall be condemned as such when those you have so reproach'd shall be your judges and openly honoured before Angels and men Those poor Mordecaies shall be royally arrayed and you like proud Haman shall see it to the breaking of your hearts To prevent this O learn this one Lesson Sound Conversion which is but restoring that image you lost in Adam Your bones were all put out of joynt by that fall this is the painful pluck that puts them in joynt again Would not any man abide a painful pluck to set one bone in joynt O Sirs abide one pluck to bring all your soul into frame again you must be new men else you cannot be upright men you must be in Christ before you can walk like him Your Religion is but skin deep till the Holy Ghost hath made an holy change And therefore for the Lords sake and for your souls sake study this point into practise Give no sound sleep to your eyes while you are such near neighbours to Hell your temperate just and honest behaviour may make your fall the softer but without holiness you must never see the Lord and a carnal heart can never be holy and upright without Regeneration And so far concerning the first part of uprightness which respects God uprightness of heart SECT XI THe second part of Uprightness respects Man which is Uprightness of life which 1. Must be with the
general Point in my poor manner opened to you namely Wherein God shews himself upright to the upright man CHAP. III. The Application SECT I. THe third thing follows which is the Application what may we gather hence for the bettering of our Minds or Manners To inform the former and to reform the latter Use Information For the former 1. This Doctrine proclaims the Equity of God To an upright man he will shew himself upright why then his wayes are equal Though clouds and darkness be round about him his wayes be hidden yet Judgment and Righteousness are the habitation of his Throne they are alwayes holy just and equal Psal. 97. 2. He that hath a cause to be tryed for Land or Life counts it a priviledge that he shall have justice and that at least every man may expect from God His wayes are equal though our wayes be unequal Psal. 99. 4. The Kings strength and who is that but God loveth judgment thou doest establish equity So he doth by his Rule and by his Example Conclude therefore whatever his dealing is with you or others that he is righteous in all his wayes and holy in all his works The Subject cannot alwayes see the Reason of his Princes method no nor a child his fathers but when they come to the knowledge of them they magnifie what before they were ready to misconstrue Even so perhaps you understand not the wayes of God towards you or his Church but be silent before him for you shall see at the long run that with righteousness doth he judge the world and the people with equity 2. This Doctrine pronounces the Misery of all hypocrites For it follows by the Rule of contraries that with such froward pieces God will show himself froward He that walks contrary to God shall have God to walk contrary to him The way of hypocrisie as well as of impenitency is a way of contrariety to God whose holy Law the hypocrite casts behind his back it is a way of contrariety to Jesus Christ his Prophetical Chair his Priestly Cross and his Kingly Throne and certainly God will walk contrarily unto them He will out-wit the subtlest and overthrow the stubbornest hypocrite on earth He taketh the wise in their own craftiness and the counsel of the froward is carried headlong He that will wrestle with God shall feel it first or last The vain hypocrite hopes to over-reach God to carry his contrivance cleanly but let him not be deceived for God is not mocked as a man sows so shall he reap Job 8. 14. His hope shall be cut off and his trust shall be a spiders web You see a spiders web to be a very curious work but its original is from a spiders bowels and its design to catch poor flies and though she be as secure in it as in a castle yet when the Broom comes down they go The thread that an hypocrite spins is very fine but it hath no higher principle than Self nor greater end than to deceive And though he bless himself in his heart and sit like a Queen in the web that he hath spun yet when Gods besome comes down he falls into Hell and great is the fall of him Quest. But you will say who or what iâ—… an hypocrite Answ. He is one that hath no Affection to the Nature of Religion and yet hath an Affectation of the Name and Reputation of Religion That professes the hatred of sin and yet cordially loves it That pretends to love piety and yet inwardly distasts it this is an hypocrite and woe be to him The keenest Scriptures the sharpest Judgments the hottest Torments are the portion of his cup. The very next verse is enough to overwhelm him With the froward thou wilt shew thy self froward When infinite Patience grows froward there will be infinite frowardness None so true a Friend and none so fierce an Enemy Proud men Atheists and Hypocrites God hath a peculiar quarrel with and they shall feel the weight of his indignation Alas Sirs you drive the maddest trade on earth your Profession of piety hazards the losing of this World and your Practise of hypocrisie loseth you the other and thus you lose Two Worlds for want of One Upright heart Repent therefore quickly of this your wickedness change your course If holiness be bad why do you pretend it If it be good why do you abhor it What man of reason will put on the shape of one he hates when thereby he gets only the applause of a few and loses the love of many Alas you lose the respect of the most on earth by your outside and of the best in Heaven by your inside O therefore cleanse your hands ye sinners and purifie your hearts ye double-minded Abominate that course that besides its own vileness loseth both God and Men and your selves at last But as when cheats are lookt afterâ—… they slip away and hide themselves in the throng so the hypocrite when threatned will not be convict and therefore alledges these things Object 1. General Approbation I am well esteemed and that among the best If I were rotten sure they would find me out I love good people and they love me and how can I then be an hypocrite Answ. They judge of thee by the judgment of Charity but God will judge thee with the judgment of Verity They neither can nor will nor dare be censorious but do guess thee to be sound within because thou art smooth without Their great work lies in assuring their own salvation and not in questioning others and so thou maist go by them to hell unsuspected as Judas did by the Disciples they never dream'd of his hypocrisie but rather suspected themselves but this made not his case the safer And then that you love the people of God will be difficult to be proved You like their company perhaps for some natural moral or acquired excellencies in them they are well temper'd civil learned intelligent or perhaps of some use or stead for you but alas you hate their holiness and least like them when they are in their most religious frame You care not for their talk of Heaven when you are pleas'd with their news or discourses upon things on earth He that loves an holy man for his Sanctity loves them all as far as they are holy and so the holier the person is the better you will love him Object 2. Singular Obedience I have perform'd abundance of Duties and have forgone divers Sins and have continued so to do a great while and can an hypocrite do so Answ. Is there no known Duty that lies by you undischarged and do you delight in the duties you perform as well as do them do the Precepts of the Law please you as well as the Promises of the Gospel And do you live in no known sin with purpose pleasure and perseverance its true an hypocrite will not alwayes call upon God but its hard to say how
down other mens faults as well as his and lend to them a mantle as well as to others If pride be bad or covetousness or passion why do you not blame them where-ever you find them Object Perhaps you 'l say they are bad its true in any but they are intollerable in one that professes more Sanctity than others Answ. His sanctity or profession are neither faults nor faulty but these you have an aking tooth at and though they do aggravate his Sins before God yet I hope with men he may pass better that hath but one or two faults than he that hath an hundred And if you be not haters of God you ought to love him better that hath a few errors and those bewailed for so all upright men do though you see them not than him that abounds in them and rather glories in them than mourns over them Object I know your usual saying you dislike none but hypocrites an upright man you could love in your heart Answ. Can you prove all them hypocrites whom you distast and can you justifie your suspicion where you can make no proof I think there is no greater a sign of an hypocrite than easily to judge others so But for all your professions I am perswaded if Christ himself were now on earth and should be so severe in his life as never to laugh so impartial in reproof as to spare neither Prince nor Priest so heavenly in his discourse as alwayes to draw it to some spiritual matter abundance of Christians would utterly dislike him never consort with him but pursue him to his cross again Alas it is integrity and honesty you hate and the affront is to God more than to men herein And is not this hatred without a cause Is not this to rage at Beauty and to have an Aversion to Innocency it self Are not these men such as I have describ'd the best husbands the best parents the best children the best servants the best subjects publick Goods Prov. 11. By the blessing of the upright the City is exalted but it is overthrown by the mouth of the wicked O relent towards them and let your love and pity run in the stream with Gods Carry your selves to them as you think David Paul or Christ would do if they were here and judge in your own Consciences whether they would sort with vile swearers in an Alehouse or with upright mourners in a Chamber you cannot have a better coppy than Him in the Text and therefore with the upright man shew you your selves upright SECT III. THe third Use of this Doctrine leads unto Tryal and Examination of our own selves I report me to your own Consciences how needful this is Needful for your comfort here needful for your salvation hereafter And pray be exact and serious herein 1. Because mans heart by Nature is false and froward Deceitful above all things and desperately wicked Jer. 17. 9. The Nature of God the Love of Christ and the Heart of man are things inscrutable It s true Eccl. 7. 29. God made man upright at first Our faces were directly upon God our hearts uniform but we got a fall and now the whole man is turn'd quite another way He that sayes I have ever had a good heart that man never had a good heart we are estranged from the womb from our God and from our best selves No cheat so cunning as the heart of man 't will cry out as the Pharisee I thank God I am not as other hearts are when seven abominations are therein And not only false but froward in other diseases the diseased party is called the Patient and patient they are to abide the Physicians order but here the Patient is the greatest Disease Quid miserius misero non miserante seipsum What greater misery than a miserable man not commiserating himself Having to do therefore with such a Piece what need have you of the strictest care that you may not be bankrupt before you feel your decay and broken for want of bruising 2. A man may proceed very far and yet prove rotten at the heart He may go nineteen steps and for want of going one other step fall short of Heaven Mat. 19. 20 21. That young man had gone far in keeping six commandments where is the young man that can come forth and truly say the like yet one thing was lacking and that lost all the rest Consider well how many changes may pass upon thâ—… heart without a through saving change A moral change from debauchery to civility a formal change to the profession of Godliness a partial change a temporary change but uprightness of heart lyes in a hairs breadth you may hit the Butt and yet miss the Mark and by considering how far Herod Saul Judas and others of our acquaintance have gone and yet fallen away we see need to sift our selves to the bran and put our Integrity to the tryal 3. A man may verily think he 's upright and yet not be right Prov. 30. 12. There is a generation that is abundance in all Ages that are pure in their own eyes shine illustriously as the Hebrew word signifies in their own opinions and judgments and yet are not cleansed from their filthiness were never truly regenerate That River of God the blood of Christ never run through their hearts you have heard he that long deceives others at last deceives himself Deceiving and being deceived Plain in the foolish Virgins Mat. 25. who thought their case was good till the gate was shut A dreadful case to be damn'd just at Heaven gates and to feel a Hell before we fear it How blank would a man look that hath a sum of money to pay and when it comes to the touch it proves all Counters all his money Counters even so will many a formal hypocrite look at the last day when all his graces prove spurious 〈◊〉 name to live but dead at heart When the great Judge of Heaven and earth shall come with his Mene Tekel c. put this glistring Professor into the Balance alas he is too light weigh that mans Faith then his Repentance then his Love in the Balance they are all too light Alas thy kingdom is departed from thee thou art 〈◊〉 lost man world without end Now I say if a man may verily think he 's upright and yet prove naught it is high time to come to tryal And though the Description which you have had wiâ—… much supersede this work and that wheâ—… all is said a man that is really upright may most clearly by reflection and spiritual sensation find and feel the integrity of his heart as the mother knows she iâ—… with child when she feels it leaping iâ—… her womb yet for your further assistancâ—… I shall here with much plainness and brâ—…vity the which I study give you somâ—… clear characters of uprightness and sâ—… hasten to an end with this Advertisement that if you can lay a sound claim to
Labour for uprightness Buy this truth and sell it not For the love of God be not hypocrites Consider three things 1. Uprightness is Amiable 1. In the eye of God you see that in 1 Chron. 29. 17. He hath pleasure in uprightness You that displease him by your Infirmities had need to please him by your Integrity Cant. 4. 7. Thou art fair my love sayes Christ there is no spot in thee This makes you all fair in his eyes All the beauty of Heaven and Earth doth not please God as an upright man no creature like the New creature And on the contrary no sight so odious to him as an hypocrite He that counterfeits the Kings coyn dyeth the same death with a Rebel A lukewarm Christian makes Christs stomach to rise Rev. 3. 16. And 2. Uprightness is amiable to men Where enmity to God hath not quite raz'd out all reliques of Reason and Honesty every man seems to be pleas'd with integrity and will speak for such as they think in their Consciences mean and speak uprightly Few would hurt us if we could more sincerely be followers of that which is good But an hypocrite is odious to all men like those Proto-hypocrites 1 Thes. 2. 15. They please not God and are contrary to all men He makes an ill choice that imbraces a course that God and man are agreed to abhor 2. Uprightness is Comfortable A sound upright good Conscience is a continual feast In troubles reproaches sickness death no comfort like an upright heart This will support the spirits supply with new spirits the weather-beaten Christian and make him sing in prison when his enemies shall tremble on the Throne This gave the Apostle Paul that boldness before Princes that he lived in all good Conscience Then shall I not be ashamed when I have respect to all thy righteous judgments And on the contrary a man hath no comfort from hypocrisie none at all What joy can a man have when he knows his heart is rotten What comfort in a velvet patch when it only covers a filthy ulcer What content when a man dare not commune with himself he that is not welcome unto his own Conscience can be merry no where in the world 3. Uprightness is Necessary 1. To every good duty here Without it Preaching is but a tinkling Cymbal Prayer but as the howling of a Dog Religious discourse but the prating of a Parrot Nothing acceptable without it Goats-hair a rich present with it A sincere sigh of him that joyns more worth than the fained eloquence of him that makes the Prayer The two mites of the good Widow more valuable than the great sums cast in by Pharisees Our duties are not numbred but weighed they are not measured by their length or breadth but by their prosundity If they be hearty sincere the right stamp upon them they are current in Heaven or else they are but the cutting off a dogs neck the offering of swines flesh and God abhors them 2. Necessary to our eternal-Salvation hereafter Psal. 24. 4. Who shall ascend into the hill of the Lord He that hath clean hands and a pure heart A man may go to Heaven without Parts without Riches without Gifts but there is no coming there without uprightness that is the land of uprightness it is there all in fashion The great question at those Gates will be Man Woman where 's thy oyl Though men may be deceived God will not be mocked He that sowes the wind shall reap the whirlwind In the darkest corner of Hell there lye the hypocrites O the rage horror and torment of an hypocrite in Hell when his hope is like the giving up the Ghost O the confusion and shame that will cover him when his fellow-Professors shall see him so unexpectedly packt into Hell And what brutish madness is it to make others believe that thou art going towards Heaven and that while thou steal into Hell O sinner it is absolutely necessary to salvation that thou be upright And therefore in the Name of God inquire the means to obtain it and set about them Well will you faithfully use them Then they are these SECT VIII I. STudy Humility Hab. 2. 4. Behold his soul which is lifted up is not upright in him Pride hath a great influence into hypocrisie and humility into uprightness He that takes a pride in being counted Great or Good no wondeâ—… that he will put on the vizard of more goodness than he hath And on the other side he that is content of an ordinary Reputation will study to be sound and not play the white Devil to get applause The humble man concludes I am a very weak creature and I am a very great sinner and what care I for a golden name and know I have but a leaden heart Do but study the pure Law of God and then study thy impure heart and be proud if thou canst where a truer heart than in Paul yet he for his part is of Saints the least of sinners the chief although the Lord reckoned him greater than the greatest of the former and less than the least of the latter Humility and Integrity are born and dye together II. Be faithful in Self-examination Psal. 77. 6. I communed with my heart and my spirit made diligent search And for this end let your Consciences be heard for the spirit of man is the candle of the Lord to search the innermost parts of the belly You think all 's right but when matters come to tryal you 'l find all 's naught While the Sun is under the cloud you can see no motes in the room but when its beams shine in you may see thousands How do young people live in the dark and little feel or fear the plague that is upon them but when once the light of saving knowledge Self-knowledge breaks in then Ephraim bemoans himself and Paul cryes out O wretched man that I am For shame live not so long strangers at home If a man do not know himself he knows nothing Commune with your own hearts and be still You commune with God in religious Duties you commune with men in your civil Callings but when do you commune with your selves Go to the Law try your selves by every command Luther going about this and beginning at I am the Lord thy God profess'd that he was so overwhelm'd thereby that he could go no further Alas your Confidence flows from your Ignorance one saving sight of your woful state would go far in your oure O lose not your souls for want of one serious thought III. Get an hatred to hypocrisie and a love of uprightness Behold them both in their own colours Read Mat. 23. That glass will shew you the face of the one and Psal. 119. will shew you the features of the other If you would put the worst badge in the world upon a man you call him Hypocrite if you would give any man the most advantageous title you write him an
