to_o follow_v his_o counsel_n and_o his_o reason_n contain_v two_o proposition_n the_o one_o be_v negative_a the_o other_o be_v affirmative_a the_o first_o be_v these_o word_n for_o else_o you_o

reason_n be_v very_o sovereign_a and_o available_a against_o the_o inward_a evil_n namely_o all_o inward_a desire_n and_o affection_n of_o popular_a praise_n and_o vainglory_n and_o the_o other_o be_v as_o forcible_a to_o dissuade_v from_o the_o outward_a evil_n that_o be_v ostentation_n and_o show_v of_o vainglory_n the_o former_a tell_v we_o what_o we_o lose_v if_o we_o take_v not_o heed_n and_o

indeed_o a_o punishment_n and_o a_o torment_n to_o a_o godly_a mind_n now_o we_o see_v that_o by_o this_o bargain_n a_o man_n if_o he_o take_v not_o heed_n may_v be_v a_o great_a loser_n and_o by_o take_v heed_n he_o may_v be_v a_o great_a gainer_n again_o we_o see_v that_o the_o vainglorious_a christian_a that_o be_v to_o say_v a_o plain_a hypocrite_n be_v a_o gainer_n by_o his_o hypocrisy_n

our_o saviour_n christ_n here_o do_v notable_o cool_v their_o courage_n by_o abate_v no_o less_o of_o their_o wage_n than_o heaven_n come_v to_o assure_v they_o that_o whatsoever_o they_o dream_v of_o

sermon_n of_o the_o reward_n of_o hypocrisy_n mat._n 6.2_o very_o i_o say_v unto_o you_o they_o have_v their_o reward_n of_o the_o nature_n of_o hypocrisy_n we_o have_v hear_v sufficient_o in_o the_o

may_v serve_v sufficient_o to_o persuade_v we_o to_o take_v heed_n of_o hypocrisy_n and_o counterfeit_v in_o god_n religion_n or_o any_o religious_a duty_n command_v by_o god_n but_o because_o the_o hypocrite_n dream_v of_o some_o great_a reward_n whereby_o he_o shall_v become_v some_o great_a man_n both_o in_o this_o world_n and_o in_o the_o world_n to_o come_v imagine_v that_o as_o he_o be_v

when_o they_o have_v get_v it_o it_o be_v but_o a_o feather_n and_o nothing_o light_a the_o praise_n of_o man_n what_o be_v it_o sure_o but_o word_n proceed_v from_o inconstant_a mind_n false_a

he_o that_o observe_v the_o praise_n of_o man_n be_v like_o he_o that_o observe_v the_o wind_n and_o be_v fit_o resemble_v to_o a_o windmill_n that_o whirl_v about_o apace_o so_o long_o as_o the_o
