such_o kind_n of_o hypocrite_n will_v go_v on_o smooth_o in_o the_o world_n that_o a_o man_n shall_v admire_v they_o and_o check_v his_o own_o heart_n &_o say_v i_o be_o a_o hypocrite_n certain_o i_o

whatever_o you_o will_v if_o a_o man_n be_v not_o thorough_o convert_v and_o enter_v upon_o religion_n look_v as_o his_o temper_n be_v natural_o so_o will_v his_o hypocrisy_n be_v and_o that_o i_o may_v go_v on_o a_o little_o clear_a take_v it_o now_o as_o to_o the_o temper_n of_o fear_n on_o a_o man_n and_o the_o working_n of_o god_n upon_o he_o if_o a_o man_n be_v apt_a to_o fear_v and_o god_n lie_v any_o thing_n upon_o a_o man_n conscience_n for_o god_n sometime_o keep_v such_o all_o their_o life-time_n in_o fear_n you_o shall_v find_v that_o there_o will_v abundance_n of_o hypocrisy_n appear_v in_o those_o act_n and_o such_o a_o man_n shall_v be_v a_o terrify_a hypocrite_n he_o shall_v live_v under_o terror_n and_o make_v abundance_n of_o work_n through_o his_o fear_n for_o fear_n may_v put_v a_o man_n exceed_o on_o to_o duty_n and_o be_v but_o a_o hypocrite_n all_o this_o while_n now_o of_o these_o there_o be_v two_o sort_n that_o live_v under_o terror_n and_o i_o will_v especial_o speak_v to_o these_o for_o many_o think_v if_o they_o be_v under_o trouble_n of_o conscience_n and_o terror_n they_o be_v pass_v the_o worst_a and_o in_o the_o best_a frame_n that_o can_v be_v therefore_o first_o there_o be_v some_o that_o be_v but_o more_o general_o touch_v with_o the_o sense_n of_o some_o sin_n that_o god_n meet_v they_o with_o and_o lay_v upon_o they_o and_o at_o every_o turn_n check_v they_o for_o and_o let_v in_o glimpse_n of_o his_o wrath_n now_o and_o then_o upon_o his_o conscience_n and_o they_o get_v into_o a_o strange_a kind_n of_o temper_n of_o complain_v and_o whine_v and_o whimper_v in_o their_o own_o spirit_n and_o go_v on_o in_o their_o duty_n for_o they_o dare_v not_o but_o go_v to_o duty_n but_o yet_o it_o do_v not_o work_v so_o much_o upon_o they_o as_o to_o cry_v out_o with_o hideous_a noise_n of_o damnation_n yet_o be_v keep_v under_o fear_n and_o bondage_n of_o spirit_n and_o can_v get_v out_o of_o it_o and_o all_o their_o design_n be_v to_o whine_v at_o it_o and_o complain_v of_o it_o to_o other_o abroad_o that_o as_o we_o say_v in_o grief_n to_o open_a a_o man_n mind_n be_v a_o mighty_a ease_n so_o you_o shall_v find_v they_o open_v their_o heart_n and_o say_v they_o be_v under_o these_o and_o these_o sin_n talk_v of_o their_o corruption_n tell_v how_o they_o be_v under_o such_o trial_n under_o such_o fear_n of_o their_o passion_n and_o tell_v you_o of_o hypocrisy_n and_o thus_o they_o go_v from_o door_n to_o door_n and_o from_o professor_n to_o professor_n and_o all_o to_o no_o purpose_n for_o they_o never_o know_v nor_o never_o find_v the_o weight_n and_o power_n of_o the_o gospel_n lie_v upon_o their_o spirit_n never_o see_v the_o depth_n of_o a_o deceitful_a heart_n for_o all_o this_o but_o only_o say_v alas_o i_o have_v such_o and_o such_o corruption_n i_o be_o afraid_a of_o my_o estate_n and_o condition_n and_o so_o take_v a_o pleasure_n in_o their_o complain_n now_o there_o be_v three_o way_n wherein_o they_o show_v their_o hypocrisy_n first_o by_o this_o way_n of_o complain_v they_o think_v to_o get_v off_o from_o suspicion_n of_o hypocrisy_n such_o soul_n such_o creature_n be_v always_o complain_v of_o their_o condition_n and_o so_o they_o think_v to_o be_v free_a of_o hypocrisy_n by_o this_o kind_n of_o whine_v though_o they_o never_o know_v what_o the_o hatred_n of_o sin_n be_v never_o know_v what_o it_o be_v to_o be_v pierce_v through_o with_o the_o dart_n of_o the_o gospel_n for_o sin_n second_o they_o think_v by_o this_o to_o get_v the_o pity_n and_o compassion_n of_o other_o saint_n to_o pity_v and_o bemoan_v they_o and_o we_o ought_v say_v they_o to_o speak_v a_o good_a word_n to_o comfort_v they_o though_o saint_n nor_o angel_n can_v speak_v a_o good_a word_n to_o soul_n yet_o they_o look_v for_o it_o three_o they_o show_v their_o hypocrisy_n by_o this_o they_o look_v upon_o themselves_o by_o it_o as_o poor_a in_o spirit_n always_o in_o sense_n of_o sin_n and_o under_o a_o sense_n of_o their_o lose_a condition_n and_o will_v have_v other_o think_v so_o too_o there_o be_v a_o poor_a spirit_n nothing_o but_o poverty_n of_o spirit_n never_o come_v to_o he_o but_o he_o have_v low_a esteem_n of_o himself_o four_o but_o the_o great_a strain_n of_o hypocrisy_n lie_v in_o this_o they_o perfect_o rest_v in_o this_o strain_n of_o complain_v and_o never_o look_v after_o christ_n they_o get_v ease_n by_o open_v their_o mind_n and_o if_o they_o can_v but_o get_v a_o good_a answer_n to_o quiet_v they_o for_o the_o present_a they_o go_v away_o content_a i_o have_v abominate_v this_o frame_n of_o any_o frame_n in_o professor_n a_o strange_a ugly_a whine_a frame_n of_o spirit_n constant_o upon_o a_o soul_n which_o shall_v not_o be_v upon_o a_o professor_n but_o in_o the_o absolute_a case_n of_o necessity_n and_o extraordinary_a occasion_n for_o he_o show_v he_o have_v not_o be_v at_o christ_n and_o open_v his_o condition_n to_o he_o but_o he_o must_v have_v this_o and_o that_o outward_a help_n first_o and_o if_o he_o can_v help_v himself_o then_o go_v to_o he_o it_o be_v
adultery_n and_o yet_o come_v and_o appear_v before_o i_o they_o have_v brazen_a face_n for_o all_o that_o they_o never_o feel_v the_o power_n of_o conviction_n upon_o their_o spirit_n and_o if_o god_n shall_v show_v any_o man_n any_o one_o sin_n he_o will_v never_o act_v that_o sin_n but_o he_o will_v abhor_v the_o very_a sight_n of_o it_o but_o there_o be_v such_o poor_a common_a general_a conviction_n mere_o from_o conscience_n conscience_n have_v a_o power_n within_o a_o man_n but_o it_o never_o stir_v with_o terror_n till_o god_n anew_o as_o it_o be_v show_v his_o sin_n and_o his_o miserable_a estate_n by_o sin_n by_o a_o light_n from_o heaven_n and_o so_o set_v conscience_n afresh_o a_o work_n god_n then_o give_v it_o a_o new_a commission_n to_o charge_v his_o soul_n he_o go_v to_o duty_n though_o he_o know_v himself_o full_a of_o hypocrisy_n yet_o he_o can_v go_v to_o duty_n as_o quiet_o as_o can_v be_v a_o man_n may_v know_v himself_o to_o be_v a_o hypocrite_n and_o yet_o go_v on_o in_o it_o because_o second_o he_o think_v he_o shall_v wear_v out_o his_o hypocrisy_n by_o his_o duty_n though_o he_o perform_v they_o in_o it_o though_o he_o contract_v guilt_n by_o they_o and_o most_o of_o his_o hypocrisy_n be_v in_o his_o duty_n and_o that_o be_v exceed_o strange_a but_o it_o be_v most_o true_a for_o a_o hypocrite_n think_v by_o his_o duty_n to_o wear_v out_o all_o his_o deceit_n as_o he_o colour_v his_o hypocrisy_n by_o it_o so_o he_o hope_v to_o wear_v it_o out_o by_o it_o he_o hope_v it_o be_v a_o work_n of_o time_n though_o he_o have_v a_o bad_a heart_n yet_o he_o hope_v to_o have_v a_o better_a heart_n though_o he_o never_o look_v to_o christ_n for_o it_o four_o he_o have_v something_o at_o present_a that_o he_o get_v by_o his_o profession_n something_o that_o be_v suitable_a to_o some_o end_n some_o lust_n or_o other_o of_o his_o own_o and_o that_o keep_v he_o up_o notwithstanding_o those_o general_a conviction_n i_o know_v not_o how_o to_o call_v they_o conviction_n they_o be_v so_o cold_a and_o poor_a upon_o a_o man_n heart_n but_o he_o hope_v to_o get_v something_o either_o applause_n of_o man_n to_o be_v a_o good_a christian_a or_o something_o to_o be_v think_v of_o by_o man_n or_o to_o get_v some_o peace_n of_o conscience_n that_o the_o violence_n and_o desperateness_n of_o wrath_n fall_v not_o upon_o he_o ay_o but_o five_o which_o be_v most_o of_o all_o that_o i_o may_v show_v you_o this_o god_n do_v judicial_o give_v up_o those_o kind_n of_o hypocrite_n that_o have_v begin_v without_o he_o take_v up_o profession_n without_o any_o working_n of_o god_n upon_o their_o soul_n he_o give_v they_o up_o common_o unto_o a_o reprobate_a mind_n that_o you_o have_v so_o common_o name_v in_o the_o new_a testament_n so_o injudicious_a as_o they_o can_v understand_v their_o own_o condition_n but_o go_v on_o still_o see_v no_o more_o in_o one_o condition_n than_o another_o but_o that_o i_o may_v speak_v of_o god_n deal_v with_o hypocrite_n in_o this_o way_n first_o as_o i_o tell_v you_o god_n delight_v to_o discover_v hypocrite_n so_o he_o have_v most_o judgement_n upon_o they_o of_o any_o in_o the_o world_n and_o he_o discover_v they_o common_o either_o first_o by_o some_o secret_a give_v they_o up_o or_o withdraw_a strength_n give_v they_o up_o to_o some_o corruption_n or_o withdraw_a strength_n from_o they_o absolute_o that_o they_o find_v nothing_o of_o former_a strength_n at_o all_o so_o he_o do_v many_o time_n with_o those_o that_o have_v live_v upon_o part_n gift_n and_o endowment_n it_o be_v ordinary_a for_o god_n to_o leave_v they_o as_o you_o have_v it_o in_o john_n 15._o they_o wither_v the_o life_n and_o sap_n that_o they_o be_v wont_a to_o have_v be_v withdraw_v and_o the_o spirit_n be_v go_v so_o it_o be_v with_o many_o and_o certain_o that_o be_v the_o reprobate_a mind_n take_v away_o from_o the_o understanding_n that_o common_a light_n that_o the_o soul_n shall_v only_o look_v after_o the_o outward_a part_n of_o a_o duty_n but_o never_o know_v the_o life_n of_o it_o never_o understand_v nor_o distinguish_v when_o he_o be_v in_o a_o bad_a or_o a_o good_a condition_n oh_o look_v after_o the_o impression_n and_o sense_n of_o the_o thing_n of_o god_n upon_o your_o soul_n secondlie_o the_o way_n that_o god_n take_v to_o discover_v hypocrite_n he_o give_v they_o up_o to_o some_o eminent_a corruption_n to_o break_v out_o as_o to_o discover_v they_o as_o it_o be_v with_o judas_n he_o have_v many_o gnawing_n of_o conscience_n doubtless_o under_o christ_n ministry_n always_o and_o under_o christ_n eye_n but_o he_o be_v never_o discover_v till_o he_o give_v he_o up_o to_o that_o covetous_a heart_n that_o wicked_a corruption_n that_o lie_v most_o in_o his_o heart_n than_o he_o be_v discover_v present_o than_o thirty_o piece_n of_o silver_n be_v enough_o for_o jesus_n christ_n either_o god_n give_v they_o up_o to_o deadness_n to_o be_v twice_o dead_a that_o be_v dead_a in_o their_o own_o heart_n the_o meaning_n be_v they_o lose_v both_o their_o natural_a affection_n and_o the_o affection_n they_o have_v on_o their_o heart_n by_o common_a gift_n and_o working_n they_o lose_v both_o and_o now_o nothing_o take_v hold_v of_o they_o or_o else_o he_o give_v they_o up_o to_o some_o eminent_a corruption_n that_o all_o the_o world_n see_v there_o be_v one_o never_o mind_v the_o gospel_n now_o it_o be_v break_v out_o or_o else_o secondlie_o as_o to_o that_o head_n god_n give_v they_o up_o unto_o a_o despair_n which_o be_v very_o common_a and_o that_o be_v twofold_a first_o either_o secret_a despair_n they_o tug_v in_o duty_n may_v by_o night_n and_o day_n when_o they_o be_v press_v in_o conscience_n and_o they_o get_v nothing_o go_v to_o sermon_n and_o they_o find_v no_o blowing_n of_o the_o spirit_n no_o breathe_n at_o all_o upon_o their_o heart_n and_o so_o grow_v into_o a_o secret_a despair_n insensible_o now_o there_o be_v a_o secret_a kind_n of_o intermission_n in_o saint_n but_o this_o soul_n go_v on_o and_o never_o find_v any_o thing_n of_o god_n or_o christ_n second_o there_o be_v a_o terrify_a despair_n which_o sometime_o god_n give_v they_o up_o to_o whereby_o they_o be_v terrify_v with_o the_o hideousness_n of_o the_o wrath_n of_o god_n cry_v out_o they_o be_v damn_v they_o be_v damn_v and_o they_o never_o common_o get_v out_o of_o it_o you_o never_o hear_v of_o any_o hypocrite_n in_o the_o scripture_n that_o ever_o get_v out_o when_o god_n lay_v a_o charge_n upon_o he_o because_o god_n will_v have_v soul_n walk_v so_o pure_o and_o clear_o with_o he_o in_o all_o their_o duty_n now_o as_o you_o see_v how_o he_o may_v know_v himself_o to_o be_v so_o to_o be_v thus_o and_o yet_o act_n so_o see_v the_o nature_n of_o his_o hypocrisy_n and_o take_v it_o in_o short_a first_o though_o he_o know_v himself_o to_o be_v a_o hypocrite_n and_o to_o be_v unsound_a yet_o he_o be_v loath_a 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 exact_o as_o he_o can_v so_o it_o be_v with_o balaam_n num._n 21.22_o 23._o all_o along_o how_o glad_o will_v he_o have_v go_v to_o curse_v the_o israelite_n but_o god_n will_v not_o suffer_v he_o though_o he_o know_v he_o be_v a_o most_o wicked_a notorious_a hypocrite_n and_o a_o witch_n too_o yet_o how_o will_v he_o pretend_v to_o balack_n he_o will_v go_v to_o god_n he_o will_v glad_o have_v do_v it_o but_o god_n have_v a_o mighty_a check_n upon_o he_o it_o be_v a_o prophecy_n to_o all_o the_o world_n how_o all_o deal_n with_o saint_n shall_v be_v though_o he_o speak_v good_a thing_n and_o he_o can_v not_o but_o speak_v they_o yet_o he_o will_v glad_o avoid_v they_o for_o the_o money_n and_o still_o he_o have_v a_o over-awing_a of_o god_n upon_o he_o so_o it_o be_v with_o many_o

that_o they_o will_v make_v up_o in_o the_o handsomeness_n of_o their_o deportment_n and_o carriage_n up_o and_o down_o the_o world_n second_o though_o he_o know_v himself_o to_o be_v a_o hypocrite_n yet_o there_o be_v none_o will_v be_v more_o censorious_a of_o hypocrisy_n in_o other_o even_o to_o poor_a saint_n but_o that_o be_v a_o common_a rule_n he_o will_v be_v severe_a in_o the_o censure_v of_o other_o and_o he_o may_v think_v by_o that_o that_o other_o may_v think_v he_o far_o from_o hypocrisy_n three_o nay_o what_o shall_v i_o say_v
