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.
