know_v that_o the_o great_a study_n of_o a_o hypocrite_n be_v about_o his_o expression_n more_o than_o for_o any_o impression_n or_o any_o real_a sight_n of_o the_o nature_n of_o his_o condition_n

oh_o my_o brethren_n this_o be_v a_o most_o wicked_a frame_n of_o hypocrisy_n in_o that_o duty_n when_o man_n look_v at_o their_o word_n not_o at_o their_o heart_n to_o make_v their_o heart_n speak_v within_o they_o if_o i_o be_v enlarge_v in_o prayer_n when_o i_o be_o with_o other_o and_o dead_a when_o i_o be_o in_o private_a it_o be_v a_o certain_a sign_n i_o have_v nothing_o in_o my_o heart_n

to_o have_v it_o say_v so_o or_o have_v it_o discover_v he_o can_v abide_v that_o he_o will_v not_o have_v any_o one_o think_v so_o though_o he_o know_v it_o himself_o but_o yet_o will_v walk_v so_o
