A93117	Sincerity and hypocricy. Or, the sincere Christian, and hypocrite in their lively colours, standing one by the other. Very profitable for this religion professing time. / By W.S. Serjeant at Law. Together with a tract annexed to prove; that true grace doth not lye so much in the degree as in the nature of it.	Sheppard, William, d. 1675?; Barlow, Thomas, 1607-1691. Tract annexed to prove.	1658 (1658)	Wing S3210; Thomason E1822_1; ESTC R209797	215,937	433
