Portion and take that to be his that belongs to an Hypocrite as an Hypocrite on the other hand mistakes that which belongs to him and applies that to himself which is the Portion of sincere Christians but Grace is like a small Seed at first that cannot be soon espied in the House i.e. the Heart especially when there is much Smoak and Darkness yet remaining But may be some may say What you have said tends to take us off of Holy Duties and Obedience God forbid for though we would not have you rest or depend upon your Duties and Obedience yet let me tell you a godly Man or he that is a true Christian hath such Righteousness wrought in him and by him that exceeds the Righteousness of the Scribes and Pharisees if he had not he could in no wise enter into the Kingdom of Heaven 1. His Obedience and Righteousness flows from a Principle of Divine or Spiritual Life or from a Principle of saving Grace or else they would be all but dead Works and from thence he acts and doth all that he performs Godward 2. He acts from a Principle of Faith his Obedience flows from thence seeing himself justified and accepted only in Jesus Christ 3. He acts from a Principle of Love to Christ and is also always the same and for the hardest part of Religion as well as for the easiest part of it Moreover he is as careful to ●eep a good Conscience towards God as to keep a Conscience void of Offence towards Men he takes up all the Duties of Religion in Point of Performance though he lays them all down in Point of Dependance He is as careful of his Heart and Ways that he ●●y please God and glorify him as much as a Man can be that expects to merit God's Favour thereby he knows he must attend upon the means of Salvation as well as to expect Salvation it self 4. He exceeds all others in his end which is the Honour and Glory of God or to live to God on Earth as well as to live with God in Heaven Lastly How severely doth what we have said look upon all Self-righteous Persons and those proud People that boast of their Holiness and Perfection that think they need no Repentance O that they would consider it and tremble before it is too late and they perish eternally for rejecting the chief Corner-stone Remember unless ye believe that Christ is he ye shall die in your Sins Also it looks severely on all formal and carnal Christians who have nothing but a Name Alas Sirs If the painted Hypocrite he that is so gloriously garnished with many great Gifts Parts Wisdom Learning and seeming Piety is in a damnable Condition what will become of you Mourn O England what a Number of filthy debauched treacherous proud drunken swearing and unclean Christians as they are called hast thou in the Bowels of thee they shew their Sin as Sodom and hide it not and yet glory as if they were the only People of God Awake Sinners before God's Judgments are poured out upon you for certainly great Wrath is at the Door God hath wrought Wonders for the Deliverance of this Nation but ye slight and contemn them Neither Judgments nor Mercy will humble you what would you have since nothing God doth pleases you Certainly the Almighty will not bear with you much longer if you repent not But ye who are truly pious and sincere ones rejoice you who mourn for your own Sins and for the Sins of the Land you are secured from the hungry Lion your Day is coming the Kingdom of Jesus Christ is near your Redemption is at hand lift up your Heads and praise God for ever SAtan a Spirit is unclean From whom all Filth doth flow A wicked Heart his House has been There still he dwells also As all true Holiness O Lord Is from they self alone So we do find from thy bless'd Word Sin 's from that wicked one And that he in a filthy Heart Takes up his curs'd Abode So thou so good to thy Saints art In them to dwell O God And that thou mightst Possession have Satan thou hast cast out And from all Filth our Souls to save Strange things hast wrought about Let such who garnish'd are by Art And common Graces fear Whilst all those sing with joyful Heart Who are indeed sincere Let Sinners and each Hypocrite Consider their sad doom Whilst Saints do sing having in sight The Glory that 's to come The latter State of some Men will Be worser than before But Saints are happy and safe still And shall for ever-more FINIS The whole will contain 100 or 120 Sheets in Folio Preached August 10. 1690.
