for_o pharisaical_a hypocrisy_n do_v subsist_v altogether_o by_o they_o and_o the_o world_n be_v full_a enough_o of_o dear-bought_a experience_n from_o all_o sort_n of_o religion_n how_o that_o the_o chief_a pretender_n to_o serve_v god_n in_o this_o kind_n and_o degree_n have_v be_v find_v to_o serve_v themselves_o most_o and_o to_o the_o extreme_a disadvantage_n of_o those_o that_o confide_v in_o they_o witness_v the_o munster-anabaptist_n among_o the_o christian_n barchochebas_n and_o other_o among_o the_o jew_n and_o even_o among_o the_o mahometan_n burgluze_n and_o bedredin_n in_o the_o reign_n of_o mahomet_n the_o first_o and_o the_o rife_a of_o the_o present_a house_n of_o morocco_n to_o the_o empire_n but_o than_o it_o may_v be_v question_v be_v all_o they_o hypocrite_n who_o in_o their_o religious_a demeanour_n before_o man_n shall_v thus_o exceed_v the_o common_a rule_n and_o practice_n of_o the_o church_n god_n forbid_v any_o man_n shall_v say_v or_o think_v so_o doubtless_o a_o multitude_n of_o such_o person_n mean_v as_o well_o as_o it_o be_v possible_a and_o think_v they_o do_v their_o best_a in_o so_o do_v there_o must_v be_v a_o great_a many_o weak_a and_o credulous_a people_n or_o there_o can_v not_o be_v so_o many_o deceiver_n wherefore_o i_o can_v persuade_v myself_o that_o all_o the_o pharisee_n of_o old_a be_v hypocrite_n though_o the_o chief_a among_o they_o be_v egregious_a one_o nor_o that_o all_o those_o that_o profess_v christianity_n now_o adays_o in_o such_o excess_n be_v so_o all_o that_o i_o say_v be_v this_o wherever_o we_o meet_v with_o man_n that_o profess_v more_o religion_n than_o be_v suitable_a with_o humane_a frailty_n with_o our_o state_n and_o constitution_n in_o the_o world_n though_o it_o be_v not_o good_a to_o despise_v such_o a_o profession_n because_o it_o may_v be_v true_a yet_o it_o can_v be_v safe_a to_o trust_v it_o for_o fear_v it_o prove_v false_a such_o extravagant_a pretence_n always_o proceed_v either_o from_o weakness_n or_o design_n they_o be_v the_o product_n of_o fondness_n and_o superstition_n or_o else_o they_o be_v manage_v by_o craft_n and_o worldly_a wisdom_n if_o no_o guile_n appear_v it_o will_v be_v proper_a for_o christian_n to_o interpret_v they_o in_o the_o most_o favourable_a sense_n to_o impute_v they_o to_o weakness_n of_o mind_n and_o undue_a fear_n of_o god_n but_o the_o safe_a way_n to_o avoid_v the_o danger_n of_o they_o if_o they_o shall_v derive_v from_o the_o other_o fountain_n be_v to_o neglect_v they_o and_o take_v no_o notice_n of_o they_o if_o i_o see_v a_o man_n pray_v in_o the_o street_n or_o marketplace_n as_o the_o pharisee_n do_v or_o be_v any_o way_n eminent_o singular_a in_o his_o religion_n and_o behave_v himself_o with_o more_o seem_a devotion_n than_o be_v usual_a why_o i_o can_v read_v the_o man_n heart_n he_o may_v be_v as_o honest_a a_o soul_n as_o any_o breathe_n but_o i_o must_v in_o charity_n impute_v the_o irregularity_n of_o his_o zeal_n to_o his_o weakness_n and_o if_o any_o thing_n be_v fit_a to_o be_v say_v to_o he_o in_o such_o a_o take_n i_o hold_v nothing_o better_o than_o the_o advice_n of_o our_o saviour_n mat._n 6.5_o 6._o when_o thou_o pray_v thou_o shall_v not_o be_v as_o the_o hypocrite_n for_o they_o love_v to_o pray_v stand_v in_o the_o synagogue_n and_o in_o the_o corner_n of_o the_o street_n that_o they_o may_v be_v see_v of_o man_n but_o thou_o when_o thou_o pray_v enter_v into_o thy_o closet_n and_o shut_v thy_o door_n and_o pray_v to_o thy_o father_n which_o be_v in_o secret_a alas_o poor_a man_n thou_o mean_v very_o well_o belike_o but_o such_o a_o way_n be_v improper_a for_o the_o business_n of_o devotion_n thou_o do_v exert_v thyself_o amiss_o just_o so_o man_n the_o hypocrite_n the_o pharisee_n do_v therefore_o prithee_o good_a man_n away_o into_o thy_o chamber_n retire_v out_o of_o the_o sight_n and_o hear_n of_o man_n and_o cloister_n thyself_o up_o that_o thou_o may_v not_o disturb_v the_o world_n by_o seduce_a people_n from_o their_o own_o business_n to_o attend_v and_o gaze_v after_o thou_o in_o plain_a sir_n we_o must_v have_v some_o rule_n for_o every_o public_a action_n and_o what_o we_o ought_v to_o do_v before_o man_n especial_o for_o our_o devotion_n else_o we_o shall_v be_v at_o a_o great_a loss_n and_o there_o can_v be_v no_o other_o certain_a and_o adequate_a rule_n for_o it_o but_o the_o law_n of_o spiritual_a communion_n if_o man_n will_v not_o be_v conclude_v by_o such_o rule_n they_o go_v the_o way_n to_o set_v up_o a_o arbitrary_a and_o uncertain_a religion_n you_o have_v hear_v of_o a_o arbitrary_a government_n what_o a_o grievance_n it_o will_v be_v for_o a_o people_n to_o be_v govern_v altogether_o by_o the_o fickle_a humour_n of_o man_n without_o settle_a and_o know_v law_n so_o that_o that_o which_o to_o day_n be_v right_a to_o morrrow_o may_v be_v wrong_a and_o they_o can_v know_v when_o they_o be_v safe_a in_o any_o action_n such_o a_o doubtful_a thing_n be_v religion_n if_o manage_v only_o according_a to_o the_o variable_a genius_n of_o frail_a man_n without_o fix_a and_o know_v rule_n it_o can_v be_v very_o comfortable_a to_o any_o wise_a and_o consider_a man_n to_o be_v of_o such_o a_o religion_n to_o the_o community_n whereof_o they_o can_v tell_v how_o to_o approve_v themselves_o and_o escape_v the_o dangerous_a censure_n of_o it_o wherefore_o there_o be_v mighty_a reason_n we_o shall_v beware_v of_o this_o hypocrisy_n and_o the_o sure_a way_n to_o avoid_v the_o snare_n of_o it_o be_v firm_o to_o adhere_v unto_o and_o judge_v these_o matter_n of_o outward_a and_o visible_a religion_n by_o the_o common_a rule_n of_o the_o law_n 3._o and_o last_o here_o be_v matter_n of_o exhortation_n the_o forego_v discourse_n do_v mind_n all_o of_o we_o to_o be_v real_a and_o sincere_a in_o all_o our_o religious_a exercise_n and_o pretence_n this_o hypocrisy_n be_v the_o worst_a habit_n a_o christian_a can_v appear_v in_o at_o his_o final_a doom_n before_o the_o tribunal_n of_o the_o great_a and_o terrible_a god_n there_o be_v no_o excuse_n no_o mercy_n for_o it_o you_o may_v have_v read_v how_o the_o kingdom_n of_o heaven_n suffer_v a_o sort_n of_o violence_n and_o the_o violent_a take_v it_o by_o force_n but_o you_o never_o hear_v that_o ever_o it_o be_v to_o be_v take_v by_o craft_n deceit_n and_o guile_n may_v do_v a_o great_a deal_n here_o in_o this_o world_n but_o in_o the_o world_n to_o come_v and_o at_o the_o great_a and_o universal_a bar_n of_o all_o mankind_n every_o thing_n will_v then_o be_v unveil_v and_o lay_v open_a whatsoever_o we_o think_v or_o speak_v or_o do_v especial_o in_o matter_n of_o religion_n we_o shall_v always_o remember_v that_o god_n have_v a_o particular_a eye_n upon_o we_o and_o that_o the_o day_n of_o revelation_n be_v come_v when_o the_o secret_n of_o all_o heart_n shall_v be_v disclose_v when_o all_o disguise_n shall_v be_v lay_v aside_o and_o every_o one_o mask_n shall_v be_v take_v off_o and_o all_o our_o action_n shall_v be_v bring_v upon_o the_o public_a stage_n and_o expose_v to_o the_o view_n of_o man_n angel_n and_o how_o will_v the_o pharisee_fw-mi and_o all_o his_o kindred_n then_o look_v when_o the_o vizor_n of_o their_o counterfeit_a sanctity_n shall_v be_v take_v off_o what_o confusion_n of_o face_n will_v then_o rife_o up_o in_o their_o countenance_n yea_o what_o a_o horrible_a dread_n must_v there_o needs_o then_o overwhelm_v their_o spirit_n when_o they_o shall_v find_v themselves_o so_o discover_v and_o expose_v when_o they_o shall_v be_v surround_v with_o a_o infinite_a company_n of_o such_o glorious_a spectator_n and_o no_o way_n lest_o to_o shift_v or_o hide_v themselves_o any_o long_o if_o judgement_n begin_v at_o the_o house_n of_o god_n where_o then_o shall_v these_o ungodly-godly-sinner_n appear_v they_o be_v leave_v to_o the_o detestation_n of_o god_n and_o angel_n and_o saint_n to_o be_v a_o terror_n to_o themselves_o and_o to_o be_v insult_v on_o by_o the_o devil_n to_o all_o eternity_n oh_o it_o will_v be_v a_o sad_a time_n indeed_o for_o they_o when_o they_o shall_v come_v in_o their_o last_o extremity_n and_o supplicate_v from_o the_o very_a bottom_n of_o their_o soul_n and_o cry_v lord_n lord_n and_o then_o the_o lord_n will_v not_o know_v they_o but_o

and_o that_o we_o may_v avoid_v all_o suspicion_n of_o pharisaism_n and_o the_o danger_n of_o excess_n in_o
