in_o faith_n and_o moral_n and_o i●_n by_o their_o life_n they_o give_v better_a conviction_n to_o the_o world_n that_o the_o truth_n and_o grace_n of_o christ_n be_v in_o they_o sometime_o so_o much_o iniquity_n be_v mix_v with_o good_a opinion_n that_o it_o prevail_v not_o only_o to_o hurt_v man_n in_o this_o world_n but_o to_o drown_v they_o in_o misery_n everlasting_a it_o be_v good_a that_o the_o j●ws_n do_v own_o and_o allow_v the_o ceremony_n of_o the_o law_n but_o since_o the_o iniquity_n that_o join_v itself_o thereto_o do_v prevail_v with_o they_o to_o make_v those_o ceremony_n copartner_n with_o christ_n in_o those_o matter_n that_o pertain_v to_o christ_n alone_o therefore_o they_o perish_v in_o they_o the_o galatian_n also_o with_o many_o of_o the_o corinthian_n have_v like_a to_o have_v be_v overthrow_v by_o these_o thing_n take_v heed_n therefore_o of_o that_o iniquity_n that_o seek_v to_o steal_v with_o the_o truth_n into_o thy_o heart_n thy_o judgement_n and_o understanding_n nor_o do_v one_o iniquity_n come_v without_o another_o they_o be_v link_v together_o and_o come_v by_o company_n and_o therefore_o usual_o they_o that_o be_v superstitious_a in_o one_o thing_n be_v corrupt_v in_o several_a other_o the_o more_o a_o man_n stand_v upon_o his_o point_n to_o justify_v himself_o and_o to_o condemn_v his_o holy_a brethren_n the_o more_o danger_n he_o be_v in_o of_o be_v overcome_v of_o divers_a evil_n and_o it_o be_v the_o wisdom_n of_o god_n to_o let_v it_o be_v so_o that_o flesh_n may_v not_o glory_v in_o his_o presence_n his_o soul_n that_o be_v lift_v up_o 2.4_o to_o wit_n with_o his_o good_a do_n with_o his_o order_n and_o method_n in_o religion_n his_o soul_n be_v not_o upright_o in_o he_o i_o have_v often_o say_v in_o my_o heart_n what_o be_v the_o reason_n that_o some_o of_o the_o brethren_n shall_v be_v so_o shy_a of_o hold_v communion_n with_o those_o every_o whit_n as_o good_a if_o not_o better_o than_o themselves_o be_v it_o b●cause_fw-mi they_o think_v themselves_o unworthy_a of_o their_o holy_a fellowship_n no_o very_o it_o be_v because_o they_o exalt_v themselves_o they_o be_v leaven_v with_o some_o iniquity_n that_o have_v mix_v itself_o with_o some_o good_a opinion_n that_o they_o hold_v and_o therefore_o it_o be_v that_o they_o say_v to_o other_o stand_v by_o thyself_o come_v not_o

the_o day_n wherefore_o as_o i_o say_v before_o so_o i_o say_v now_o again_o take_v heed_n of_o the_o iniquity_n that_o cleave_v to_o good_a opinion_n the_o which_o thou_o will_v in_o no_o wise_a be_v able_a to_o shun_v unless_o thou_o be_v clothe_v with_o humility_n but_o seven_o let_v they_o that_o name_n the_o name_n of_o christ_n 7._o depart_v from_o hypocrisy_n this_o exhortation_n be_v as_o the_o first_o general_a for_o hypocrisy_n be_v of_o that_o nature_n that_o they_o spread_v themselves_o as_o the_o leprosy_n of_o the_o body_n all_o over_o not_o the_o faculty_n of_o the_o soul_n only_o but_o all_o the_o duty_n of_o a_o man_n so_o that_o here_o be_v a_o great_a iniquity_n to_o be_v part_v from_o a_o overspreading_a iniquity_n this_o sin_n will_v get_v into_o all_o thy_o profession_n 12.1.2_o into_o every_o whit_n of_o it_o and_o will_v make_v the_o whole_a of_o it_o a_o loathsome_a stink_n in_o the_o nostril_n of_o god_n hypocrisy_n will_v be_v in_o the_o pulpit_n in_o conference_n in_o closet_n in_o communion_n of_o saint_n in_o faith_n in_o love_n in_o repentance_n in_o zeal_n in_o humility_n in_o alm_n in_o the_o prison_n and_o in_o all_o duty_n so_o that_o here_o be_v for_o the_o keep_n of_o thy_o soul_n upright_o and_o sincere_a more_o than_o ordinary_a diligence_n to_o be_v use_v hypocrisy_n be_v one_o of_o the_o most_o abominable_a of_o iniquity_n it_o be_v a_o sin_n that_o dare_v it_o with_o god_n it_o be_v a_o sin_n that_o say_v god_n be_v ignorant_a or_o that_o he_o delight_v in_o iniquity_n it_o be_v a_o sin_n that_o flatter_v that_o dissemble_v that_o offer_v to_o hold_v god_n as_o it_o be_v fair_a in_o hand_n about_o that_o which_o be_v neither_o purpose_v nor_o intend_v it_o be_v also_o a_o sin_n that_o put_v a_o man_n upon_o study_v and_o contrive_v to_o beguile_v sin_n and_o deceive_v his_o neighbour_n as_o to_o the_o bent_n and_o intent_n of_o the_o heart_n and_o also_o as_o to_o the_o cause_n and_o end_n of_o action_n it_o be_v a_o sin_n that_o persuade_v a_o man_n to_o make_v a_o show_n of_o civility_n morality_n or_o christian_a religion_n as_o a_o cloak_n a_o pretence_n a_o guise_n to_o deceive_v withal_o it_o will_v make_v a_o man_n preach_v for_o a_o place_n and_o praise_n rather_o than_o to_o glorify_v god_n and_o save_v soul_n it_o will_v put_v a_o man_n upon_o talk_v that_o he_o may_v be_v commend_v it_o will_v make_v a_o man_n when_o he_o be_v at_o prayer_n in_o his_o closet_n strive_v to_o be_v hear_v without_o door_n it_o will_v make_v a_o man_n ask_v for_o that_o he_o desire_v not_o and_o show_v zeal_n in_o duty_n when_o his_o heart_n be_v as_o cold_a as_o senseless_a and_o as_o much_o without_o savour_n as_o a_o clod_n it_o will_v make_v a_o man_n pray_v to_o be_v see_v and_o hear_v of_o man_n rather_o than_o to_o be_v hear_v of_o god_n it_o will_v make_v a_o man_n strive_v to_o weep_v when_o he_o repent_v not_o and_o to_o pretend_v much_o friendship_n when_o he_o do_v not_o love_n it_o will_v make_v a_o man_n pretend_v to_o experience_n and_o sanctification_n when_o he_o have_v none_o and_o to_o faith_n and_o sincerity_n when_o he_o know_v not_o what_o they_o be_v there_o be_v oppose_v to_o this_o sin_n simplicity_n innocency_n and_o godly_a sincerity_n without_o which_o three_o grace_n thou_o will_v be_v a_o hypocrite_n let_v thy_o notion_n thy_o knowledge_n thy_o profession_n and_o commendation_n from_o other_o be_v what_o they_o will_n 16.15_o help_n against_o this_o sin_n there_o be_v many_o some_o of_o which_o i_o shall_v now_o present_v thou_o with_o 1._o believe_v that_o god_n eye_n be_v always_o upon_o thy_o heart_n to_o observe_v all_o the_o way_n all_o the_o turn_n and_o wind_n of_o it_o 2._o believe_v that_o he_o observe_v all_o thy_o way_n and_o mark_n thy_o action_n the_o way_n of_o man_n be_v before_o the_o eye_n of_o the_o lord_n 5.21_o and_o he_o ponder_v all_o his_o go_n 3._o believe_v that_o there_o be_v a_o day_n of_o judgement_n a_o come_n and_o that_o then_o all_o thing_n shall_v be_v reveal_v and_o discover_v as_o they_o be_v 3._o for_o there_o be_v nothing_o cover_v that_o shall_v not_o be_v reveal_v nor_o hide_v that_o shall_v not_o be_v know_v therefore_o whatsoever_o you_o have_v speak_v in_o darkness_n shall_v be_v hear_v in_o light_n and_o that_o which_o you_o have_v speak_v in_o the_o ear_n in_o closet_n shall_v be_v proclaim_v upon_o the_o house_n top_n 4._o believe_v that_o a_o hypocrite_n with_o the_o cunning_a and_o shroud_n for_o his_o hypocrisy_n can_v go_v unseen_a no_o far_o than_o the_o grave_n nor_o can_v he_o long_o flatter_v himself_o with_o thought_n of_o life_n 8._o for_o the_o triumph_v of_o the_o wicked_a be_v short_a the_o joy_n of_o the_o hypocrite_n but_o for_o a_o moment_n though_o his_o excellency_n reach_v up_o to_o the_o heaven_n and_o his_o head_n reach_v unto_o the_o cloud_n yet_o he_o shall_v perish_v for_o ever_o like_o his_o own_o dung_n they_o which_o have_v see_v he_o shall_v say_v where_o be_v he_o he_o shall_v fly_v away_o as_o a_o dream_n and_o not_o be_v find_v yea_o he_o shall_v be_v chase_v away_o as_o a_o vision_n of_o the_o night_n 5._o believe_v that_o god_n will_v not_o spare_v a_o hypocrite_n in_o the_o judgement_n 20.47_o no_o nor_o punish_v he_o neither_o with_o ordinary_a damnation_n but_o as_o they_o have_v here_o sin_v in_o a_o way_n by_o themselves_o so_o there_o they_o shall_v receive_v great_a damnation_n of_o all_o sin_n the_o sin_n of_o hypocrisy_n bespeak_v a_o man_n most_o in_o love_n with_o some_o lust_n because_o he_o dissemble_v both_o with_o god_n and_o man_n to_o keep_v it_o for_o a_o conclusion_n upon_o this_o sevenfold_a answer_n to_o the_o question_n above_o propound_v let_v i_o advise_v those_o that_o be_v tender_a of_o the_o name_n of_o christ_n to_o have_v regard_n to_o these_o thing_n first_o be_v well_o acquaint_v with_o the_o word_n and_o with_o the_o general_a rule_n of_o holiness_n to_o wit_n with_o the_o moral_a law_n the_o want_n of_o this_o be_v a_o cause_n of_o much_o unholiness_n of_o conversation_n these_o licentious_a and_o evil_a time_n wherein_o we_o live_v be_v full_a of_o iniquity_n
