add_v but_o one_o more_o four_o and_o last_o a_o demure_a and_o stately_a hypocrite_n this_o be_v the_o high_a sort_n of_o they_o as_o upon_o this_o principle_n one_o that_o will_v walk_v so_o exact_o and_o curious_o have_v converse_v with_o all_o the_o notion_n and_o rule_n of_o the_o gospel_n that_o have_v spring_v up_o so_o curious_o and_o yet_o be_v choke_v with_o something_o at_o the_o bottom_n of_o his_o own_o heart_n he_o go_v on_o with_o that_o strictness_n that_o gravity_n in_o the_o gospel_n that_o he_o condemn_v all_o other_o as_o unfit_a as_o below_o he_o as_o one_o above_o all_o other_o he_o have_v all_o kind_n of_o artificial_a motion_n one_o that_o have_v a_o pretty_a even_a temper_n in_o his_o natural_a constitution_n and_o what_o through_o restrain_v grace_n and_o what_o with_o moral_a consideration_n and_o enlightning_n of_o the_o gospel_n he_o have_v get_v some_o exact_a form_n of_o the_o gospel_n this_o man_n walk_v so_o strict_o so_o curious_o that_o none_o can_v discover_v he_o such_o a_o hypocrite_n there_o be_v in_o the_o world_n look_v to_o it_o this_o man_n walk_v step_n by_o step_n he_o walk_v so_o exact_o that_o all_o the_o saint_n may_v admire_v he_o so_o curious_o that_o none_o can_v discover_v he_o but_o for_o those_o glorious_a converse_v with_o christ_n and_o through_o powerful_a working_n he_o never_o know_v they_o he_o be_v the_o fair_a to_o look_v upon_o of_o all_o sort_n of_o hypocrite_n now_o there_o be_v many_o thing_n i_o shall_v have_v show_v to_o you_o how_o to_o discover_v those_o sort_n of_o hypocrisy_n as_o first_o to_o show_v to_o you_o that_o of_o all_o sort_n and_o strain_n self_n be_v the_o bottom_n of_o all_o they_o do_v that_o be_v the_o secret_a of_o all_o their_o motion_n and_o indeed_o self-love_n be_v the_o ground_n of_o all_o hypocrisy_n for_o it_o make_v a_o man_n persuade_v himself_o he_o be_v that_o which_o he_o be_v not_o and_o feign_v himself_o to_o be_v what_o he_o know_v he_o be_v not_o self-love_n be_v at_o the_o bottom_n and_o that_o work_v at_o the_o heart_n secret_o and_o close_o there_o be_v two_o thing_n i_o will_v have_v show_v you_o about_o this_o act_n of_o self_n that_o first_o a_o man_n act_v pure_o and_o move_v most_o strong_o from_o self-love_n and_o selfe-consideration_n and_o then_o second_o selfe-satisfaction_n be_v the_o uttermost_a of_o the_o desire_n of_o the_o best_a sort_n of_o hypocrite_n in_o the_o world_n second_o know_v this_o likewise_o that_o you_o may_v discover_v such_o a_o hypocrisy_n in_o your_o own_o heart_n that_o all_o such_o sort_n of_o hypocrite_n as_o be_v know_v to_o themselves_o can_v abide_v to_o be_v try_v to_o be_v unrip_v do_v not_o love_n launch_v and_o pierce_v he_o love_v not_o to_o have_v his_o bowel_n turn_v up_o he_o can_v endure_v to_o think_v to_o be_v put_v to_o the_o uttermost_a of_o his_o own_o spirit_n that_o be_v a_o perfect_a sign_n of_o such_o a_o hypocrite_n these_o thing_n that_o go_v between_o the_o marrow_n and_o the_o bone_n the_o soul_n and_o the_o spirit_n he_o can_v endure_v that_o he_o will_v avoid_v the_o dint_n of_o the_o sharp_a arrow_n in_o the_o gospel_n if_o possible_a look_v how_o much_o flinch_v you_o find_v in_o your_o own_o spirit_n so_o much_o hypocrisy_n a_o hypocrite_n can_v abide_v to_o be_v touch_v full_o to_o the_o quick_a and_o lay_v open_a to_o be_v rip_v at_o the_o heart_n to_o have_v the_o nail_n drive_v into_o the_o vital_n which_o a_o gracious_a heart_n belong_v for_o three_o there_o be_v ever_o some_o secret_a unmortified_a lust_n under_o all_o those_o seem_a grace_n of_o a_o hypocrite_n ever_o some_o secret_a unmortified_a lust_n either_o pride_n passion_n or_o covetousness_n or_o concupiscence_n something_o or_o other_o which_o will_v and_o do_v break_v forth_o some_o time_n or_o other_o and_o look_v to_o yourselves_o you_o that_o have_v be_v ten_o or_o twenty_o year_n under_o the_o power_n of_o a_o lust_n and_o it_o break_v forth_o continual_o upon_o you_o if_o you_o be_v not_o hypocrite_n you_o be_v as_o nigh_o they_o as_o ever_o be_v egg_n to_o egg_n as_o to_o the_o likeness_n of_o they_o you_o that_o have_v be_v know_v to_o be_v what_o you_o be_v so_o many_o year_n together_o i_o dare_v denounce_v such_o a_o man_n a_o hypocrite_n that_o have_v live_v so_o many_o year_n under_o a_o secret_a lust_n unmortified_a what_o be_v there_o no_o power_n in_o christ_n have_v thou_o not_o keep_v thy_o lust_n close_o all_o this_o while_n it_o may_v be_v thou_o go_v to_o prayer_n
thyself_o second_o know_v this_o in_o the_o general_a thou_o shall_v not_o charge_v thyself_o to_o be_v a_o hypocrite_n for_o every_o sight_n of_o hypocrisy_n and_o the_o more_o spiritual_a you_o grow_v under_o the_o gospel_n the_o more_o you_o will_v see_v of_o the_o deceitfulness_n of_o your_o heart_n every_o day_n but_o i_o will_v give_v you_o these_o six_o character_n that_o no_o hypocrite_n can_v ever_o have_v in_o their_o heart_n nor_o attain_v to_o and_o i_o hope_v some_o poor_a soul_n will_v be_v comfort_v and_o they_o be_v the_o poor_a thing_n you_o will_v think_v to_o flesh_n and_o blood_n in_o the_o world_n those_o thing_n that_o a_o man_n will_v never_o imagine_v especial_o those_o high-grown_a man_n in_o notion_n first_o can_v you_o hate_v sin_n as_o sin_n that_o be_v in_o its_o whole_a nature_n in_o every_o appearance_n of_o it_o in_o its_o first_o motion_n in_o the_o first_o hint_n of_o it_o in_o the_o sin_n that_o be_v most_o dear_a that_o i_o take_v most_o pleasure_n in_o hypocrisy_n in_o its_o act_n towards_o sin_n pick_v and_o choose_v here_o and_o there_o it_o may_v be_v angry_a with_o some_o sin_n that_o disturb_v it_o but_o it_o never_o hate_v it_o no_o hypocrite_n can_v have_v a_o hatred_n of_o sin_n as_o sin_n hate_v the_o first_o of_o the_o first_o as_o it_o be_v though_o it_o come_v never_o so_o glorious_a never_o so_o set_v as_o it_o be_v hate_v it_o as_o sin_v upon_o no_o other_o consideration_n not_o because_o it_o trouble_v my_o conscience_n and_o bring_v i_o to_o hell_n and_o wrath_n and_o render_v i_o unsuitable_a to_o my_o relation_n and_o design_n in_o the_o world_n he_o be_v a_o saint_n look_v to_o it_o the_o very_a embryo_n of_o sin_n the_o sincere_a soul_n hate_v it_o hate_v it_o as_o sin_n second_o no_o hypocrite_n can_v delight_v to_o be_v ashamed_a by_o god_n in_o his_o duty_n in_o his_o act_n lie_v under_o the_o shaming_n of_o god_n and_o make_v pure_o nothing_o in_o its_o own_o eye_n and_o other_o that_o the_o hypocrite_n can_v do_v and_o yet_o a_o poor_a simple_a sincere_a soul_n can_v do_v it_o a_o poor_a soul_n that_o may_v be_v can_v hardly_o speak_v two_o word_n with_o sense_n and_o suitableness_n of_o expression_n yet_o he_o can_v do_v it_o he_o can_v delight_v as_o well_o to_o see_v god_n shame_v his_o soul_n bring_v he_o to_o nothing_o humble_v of_o he_o to_o the_o dust_n as_o if_o he_o be_v to_o be_v in_o the_o arm_n of_o the_o lord_n take_v pleasure_n in_o his_o humble_v act_n suppose_v god_n deny_v he_o any_o assistance_n in_o a_o duty_n or_o in_o the_o open_n of_o his_o heart_n that_o if_o he_o be_v in_o company_n he_o be_v ashamed_a to_o look_v upon_o his_o own_o heart_n here_o the_o soul_n take_v pleasure_n to_o be_v ashamed_a no_o hypocrite_n can_v endure_v that_o to_o be_v ashamed_a in_o his_o act_n and_o relation_n for_o self-love_n be_v the_o principle_n of_o hypocrisy_n in_o the_o heart_n of_o a_o hypocrite_n he_o can_v endure_v to_o be_v out-shined_n that_o be_v the_o wicked_a frame_n of_o he_o if_o a_o saint_n go_v beyond_o he_o in_o grace_n and_o communion_n with_o god_n he_o can_v endure_v it_o and_o therefore_o can_v endure_v to_o be_v ashamed_a oh_o how_o do_v the_o saint_n love_v to_o be_v lay_v low_a before_o god_n that_o they_o may_v have_v the_o pure_a glory_n of_o he_o shine_v upon_o their_o soul_n then_o three_o know_v this_o as_o a_o special_a one_o no_o hypocrite_n can_v bless_v god_n and_o love_v he_o from_o his_o heart_n when_o god_n smite_v he_o in_o his_o dear_a enjoyment_n or_o near_a lust_n wherein_o he_o have_v delight_v take_v away_o his_o comfort_n take_v away_o those_o thing_n he_o have_v enjoy_v former_o and_o he_o can_v love_v christ_n nor_o bless_v he_o in_o his_o heart_n strike_v he_o in_o any_o thing_n that_o the_o eye_n and_o heart_n of_o he_o have_v be_v upon_o he_o secret_o hate_v christ_n now_o a_o saint_n can_v cling_v to_o christ_n love_v he_o secret_o in_o his_o own_o soul_n though_o he_o seem_v to_o be_v as_o a_o enemy_n to_o he_o he_o can_v but_o love_v he_o for_o all_o this_o no_o hypocrite_n can_v do_v this_o take_v away_o what_o please_v his_o nature_n and_o he_o can_v love_v he_o try_v your_o heart_n by_o these_o thing_n four_o know_v this_o no_o hypocrite_n can_v love_v the_o person_n of_o the_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n nor_o a_o saint_n as_o a_o saint_n i_o put_v these_o both_o together_o he_o can_v love_v the_o person_n of_o the_o lord_n jesus_n for_o he_o never_o have_v the_o glimpse_n of_o his_o glory_n on_o his_o heart_n he_o only_o love_v to_o be_v pardon_v and_o have_v some_o comfort_n from_o he_o but_o he_o never_o find_v his_o heart_n to_o work_v in_o love_n to_o the_o lord_n jesus_n and_o have_v a_o union_n with_o he_o as_o the_o fundamental_a ground_n of_o all_o his_o comfort_n for_o love_v you_o know_v it_o belong_v for_o union_n nor_o he_o can_v love_v a_o saint_n as_o a_o saint_n pure_o but_o a_o saint_n so_o temper_v so_o condition_v he_o can_v love_v a_o poor_a saint_n nor_o a_o weak_a saint_n he_o can_v pure_o close_v with_o he_o and_o have_v his_o bowel_n work_v towards_o he_o pure_o as_o a_o saint_n five_o no_o hypocrite_n can_v go_v on_o in_o any_o spiritual_a work_n or_o service_n for_o christ_n with_o any_o contentment_n with_o any_o pleasure_n without_o sensible_a comfort_n or_o outward_a respect_n pray_v observe_v for_o if_o he_o want_v inward_a sensible_a comfort_n yet_o the_o wind_n of_o man_n will_v fill_v his_o sail_n but_o a_o poor_a saint_n can_v take_v pleasure_n in_o the_o mere_a mention_n of_o christ_n in_o the_o poor_a work_n of_o christ_n wherein_o he_o be_v least_o see_v wherein_o he_o have_v hardly_o a_o name_n only_o with_o shame_n and_o reflection_n this_o will_v try_v a_o man_n if_o i_o have_v time_n to_o open_v it_o thorough_o six_o and_o last_o no_o hypocrite_n in_o the_o world_n can_v long_o to_o be_v like_o christ_n as_o to_o be_v respect_v by_o christ_n either_o as_o to_o inward_a comfort_n or_o trade_n in_o the_o world_n or_o thus_o no_o hypocrite_n can_v love_v the_o holiness_n of_o christ_n as_o the_o good_a thing_n he_o get_v of_o christ_n he_o can_v abide_v to_o be_v out_o of_o his_o own_o form_n and_o in_o the_o form_n of_o the_o nature_n of_o the_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n but_o a_o saint_n if_o he_o have_v never_o so_o much_o comfort_n and_o sweetness_n and_o his_o soul_n always_o draw_v honey_n with_o marrow_n and_o fatness_n yet_o if_o he_o have_v not_o the_o likeness_n of_o christ_n and_o be_v like_o christ_n he_o be_v not_o please_v no_o hypocrite_n can_v love_v the_o holiness_n of_o the_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n with_o a_o pure_a love_n that_o may_v destroy_v his_o corruption_n that_o may_v unbottome_n he_o bring_v he_o perfect_o out_o of_o self_n and_o transform_v he_o into_o that_o glorious_a image_n try_v yourselves_o by_o all_o these_o thing_n i_o have_v think_v to_o have_v show_v you_o wherein_o the_o strain_n of_o hypocrisy_n lie_v to_o all_o sort_n of_o duty_n and_o the_o spiritual_a working_n of_o it_o in_o the_o heart_n of_o man_n but_o i_o must_v leave_v that_o to_o some_o other_o time_n sermon_n iu_o beware_v of_o the_o leaven_n of_o the_o pharisee_n which_o be_v hypocrisy_n i_o have_v show_v you_o in_o several_a exercise_n what_o the_o nature_n of_o hypocrisy_n be_v and_o have_v distinguish_v to_o you_o the_o several_a sort_n of_o hypocrite_n under_o the_o gospel_n show_v you_o how_o cunning_o and_o close_o man_n may_v act_v and_o yet_o still_o have_v this_o leaven_n in_o they_o pass_v through_o all_o their_o part_n there_o be_v some_o little_a thing_n or_o other_o that_o be_v insensible_a to_o some_o man_n know_v to_o other_o whereby_o they_o be_v mistake_v and_o undo_v under_o all_o their_o profession_n i_o shall_v not_o be_v able_a to_o repeat_v any_o thing_n but_o in_o the_o latter_a end_n of_o the_o last_o sermon_n i_o tell_v you_o of_o six_o thing_n that_o no_o hypocrite_n can_v do_v or_o attain_v unto_o and_o i_o will_v add_v but_o this_o one_o to_o all_o the_o rest_n seven_o no_o hypocrite_n in_o the_o world_n can_v desire_v christ_n that_o god_n may_v be_v glorify_v in_o the_o utter_a shame_n of_o himself_o as_o to_o all_o privilege_n and_o to_o all_o enjoyment_n and_o abatement_n of_o comfort_n to_o himself_o pray_v observe_v it_o this_o be_v that_o which_o strike_v at_o self-love_n perfect_o which_o be_v as_o i_o tell_v you_o the_o original_n of_o all_o hypocrisy_n in_o a_o man_n spirit_n and_o i_o speak_v this_o as_o a_o trial_n that_o be_v very_o close_a and_o narrow_a to_o the_o spirit_n of_o man_n and_o likewise_o to_o distinguish_v in_o this_o point_n between_o

of_o want_n and_o pure_a thought_n of_o the_o love_n of_o jesus_n christ_n it_o can_v pray_v everlastinglie_o if_o he_o have_v a_o body_n fit_a to_o his_o soul_n he_o can_v be_v always_o pray_v and_o

for_o a_o hypocrite_n act_n for_o himself_o and_o from_o self-strength_n and_o any_o artificial_a motion_n as_o a_o clock_n or_o so_o grow_v slow_a at_o latter_o end_n until_o it_o be_v wind_v up_o
