there_o be_v also_o exercise_n of_o piety_n and_o religion_n wherein_o the_o hypocrite_n be_v often_o very_o forward_o let_v it_o not_o seem_v out_o of_o place_n that_o i_o here_o speak_v what_o i_o

in_o matter_n of_o religion_n such_o be_v paul_n before_o his_o call_n such_o be_v the_o pharisy_n in_o their_o time_n such_o be_v ananias_n and_o saphira_n now_o these_o latter_a sort_n of_o hypocrite_n do_v not_o alone_o as_o the_o former_a abound_v in_o work_n of_o mercy_n and_o justice_n religion_n a_o hypocrite_n may_v be_v very_o forward_o in_o duty_n of_o religion_n but_o also_o in_o duty_n of_o religion_n and_o piety_n they_o love_v preach_v and_o pray_v and_o take_v delight_n in_o the_o company_n of_o man_n renown_v for_o piety_n they_o have_v a_o very_a green_a blade_n

thorny_a and_o stony_a ground_n you_o know_v do_v yield_v some_o more_o than_o common_a show_n of_o goodness_n and_o the_o wicked_a simon_n converse_v with_o philip_n yea_o the_o sinful_a jew_n be_v as_o abundant_a in_o sacrifice_n and_o fat_a beast_n as_o their_o godly_a forefather_n paul_n be_v zealous_a of_o the_o law_n and_o there_o be_v many_o very_a forward_a preacher_n in_o paul_n time_n also_o who_o a_o man_n will_v have_v think_v fervent_a for_o the_o spread_a abroad_o of_o the_o gospel_n yet_o they_o do_v it_o not_o sincere_o and_o do_v not_o the_o pharisee_n keep_v his_o weekly_a

the_o difference_n which_o stand_v in_o two_o thing_n first_o in_o the_o end_n 4.17_o the_o hypocrite_n in_o all_o duty_n of_o religion_n serve_v himself_o either_o in_o vainglory_n or_o superstition_n or_o licentiousness_n the_o true_a christian_a aim_v at_o god_n in_o his_o service_n galat._n 4.17_o then_o in_o the_o matter_n of_o their_o work_n of_o piety_n they_o stand_v far_o asunder_o one_o from_o the_o other_o for_o the_o hypocrite_n he_o do_v always_o serve_v himself_o either_o in_o vainglory_n or_o in_o superstition_n or_o in_o both_o so_o the_o false_a teacher_n in_o galatia_n be_v zealous_a over_o the_o galathian_o but_o it_o be_v with_o a_o
deserve_a punishment_n which_o his_o grievous_a wickedness_n do_v challenge_v at_o the_o hand_n of_o his_o righteousness_n if_o it_o be_v object_v that_o god_n may_v convert_v the_o hypocrite_n if_o he_o will_v the_o answer_n be_v by_o his_o omnipotent_a power_n he_o may_v and_o so_o he_o may_v the_o devil_n too_o and_o the_o very_a prince_n of_o the_o devil_n beelzebub_n himself_o but_o we_o must_v understand_v that_o the_o lord_n have_v set_v down_o a_o certain_a way_n and_o order_n of_o convert_n man_n unto_o he_o agreeable_a to_o the_o rule_n of_o his_o own_o unsearchable_a wisdom_n even_o such_o a_o way_n as_o be_v in_o itself_o most_o plain_a sure_a and_o infallible_a if_o the_o negligence_n and_o obstinacy_n of_o man_n do_v not_o hinder_v and_o such_o a_o way_n as_o be_v most_o convenient_a to_o procure_v the_o great_a honour_n that_o may_v be_v unto_o he_o in_o their_o salvation_n and_o that_o be_v that_o man_n himself_o shall_v become_v a_o work_a instrument_n with_o god_n to_o his_o own_o conversion_n and_o salvation_n which_o see_v the_o hypocrite_n will_v not_o do_v the_o lord_n will_v never_o be_v so_o over-gracious_a unto_o he_o as_o to_o bring_v he_o to_o heaven_n by_o another_o way_n but_o will_v even_o magnify_v himself_o in_o destroy_v he_o because_o he_o neglect_v to_o take_v the_o right_a course_n that_o be_v show_v he_o to_o do_v himself_o good_a so_o you_o see_v reason_n enough_o on_o god_n part_n why_o such_o branch_n shall_v be_v separate_v from_o the_o vine_n consider_v we_o of_o themselves_o and_o see_v if_o there_o be_v not_o more_o than_o cause_n of_o handle_v they_o with_o such_o severity_n first_o they_o thrust_v away_o salvation_n from_o themselves_o reason_n 2_o as_o it_o be_v say_v of_o the_o jew_n in_o another_o case_n they_o from_o themselves_o who_o 1._o they_o thrust_v away_o salvation_n from_o they_o because_o they_o will_v not_o entertain_v and_o yield_v unto_o the_o good_a motion_n of_o god_n word_n and_o spirit_n that_o do_v urge_v and_o press_v they_o to_o turn_v unto_o the_o lord_n and_o therefore_o what_o can_v be_v expect_v in_o reason_n but_o that_o they_o shall_v procure_v unto_o themselves_o even_o sharp_a and_o swift_a damnation_n for_o be_v it_o not_o most_o equal_a that_o he_o which_o will_v not_o receive_v salvation_n when_o it_o be_v proffer_v unto_o he_o by_o god_n shall_v utter_o perish_v as_o that_o he_o shall_v be_v starve_v and_o die_v for_o hunger_n which_o will_v not_o receive_v food_n when_o it_o be_v put_v into_o his_o hand_n these_o man_n resist_v and_o

not_o give_v eternal_a life_n but_o unto_o those_o that_o be_v careful_a thorough_o to_o reform_v their_o heart_n and_o life_n they_o know_v not_o how_o to_o be_v at_o all_o that_o pain_n sure_o the_o matter_n stand_v thus_o betwixt_o the_o lord_n and_o their_o soul_n it_o can_v not_o stand_v with_o his_o righteousness_n to_o preserve_v they_o from_o ruin_n the_o dissemble_a christian_n deal_v by_o god_n as_o the_o disciple_n of_o christ_n do_v deal_v by_o he_o in_o the_o six_o of_o john_n when_o he_o tell_v they_o of_o eat_v his_o flesh_n and_o drink_v his_o blood_n they_o say_v this_o be_v a_o hard_a say_n who_o can_v hear_v it_o and_o so_o go_v back_o and_o walk_v no_o more_o with_o he_o so_o the_o hypocrite_n hear_v of_o remission_n of_o sin_n of_o life_n of_o salvation_n think_v they_o be_v thing_n very_o desirable_a and_o out_o of_o a_o will_v to_o have_v a_o part_n in_o they_o he_o will_v go_v a_o great_a way_n with_o god_n but_o when_o he_o hear_v of_o a_o general_a renounce_n of_o all_o sin_n and_o of_o wash_v and_o cleanse_v his_o heart_n and_o that_o without_o this_o care_n there_o be_v no_o salvation_n he_o will_v not_o believe_v that_o the_o way_n to_o heaven_n be_v
