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

foolish_a virgin_n mat._n 25._o they_o go_v on_o smooth_o a_o long_a time_n and_o slumber_v and_o sleep_v and_o think_v themselves_o as_o pure_a virgin_n as_o the_o wise_a until_o midnight_n come_v and_o the_o young_a man_n in_o the_o gospel_n mat._n 19_o he_o come_v to_o christ_n with_o a_o confidence_n in_o his_o own_o intention_n that_o he_o have_v keep_v the_o law_n or_o else_o he_o will_v never_o have_v come_v to_o christ_n as_o he_o do_v but_o yet_o he_o lack_v something_o he_o want_v the_o main_a principle_n he_o want_v selfe-deniall_n never_o know_v what_o it_o be_v to_o cast_v himself_o upon_o the_o lord_n jesus_n pure_o all_o his_o hypocrisy_n lie_v in_o that_o if_o there_o be_v but_o a_o natural_a ingenuity_n and_o simplicity_n and_o it_o come_v under_o the_o gospel_n it_o will_v be_v mighty_o improve_v by_o a_o man_n follow_v the_o outward_a letter_n of_o it_o he_o will_v be_v as_o simplehearted_n in_o all_o duty_n as_o much_o as_o former_o he_o be_v by_o follow_v the_o common_a principle_n of_o honesty_n therefore_o when_o the_o young_a man_n come_v to_o christ_n there_o be_v a_o kind_n of_o affection_n in_o jesus_n christ_n to_o he_o and_o a_o love_n to_o he_o and_o yet_o this_o be_v his_o hypocrisy_n he_o do_v all_o those_o thing_n and_o have_v no_o intention_n at_o all_o to_o deceive_v the_o world_n or_o himself_o by_o it_o but_o he_o want_v the_o principle_n that_o shall_v have_v carry_v he_o on_o in_o all_o thing_n so_o that_o a_o man_n appear_v to_o be_v what_o he_o be_v not_o appear_v to_o be_v a_o saint_n and_o do_v duty_n well_o but_o be_v not_o this_o come_v from_o a_o want_n of_o principle_n a_o defect_n in_o that_o it_o be_v not_o my_o intention_n that_o make_v i_o a_o hypocrite_n before_o god_n but_o if_o i_o go_v on_o in_o profession_n and_o have_v not_o what_o shall_v make_v out_o that_o profession_n to_o be_v from_o god_n it_o be_v hypocrisy_n only_o these_o be_v the_o most_o to_o be_v pity_v and_o bewail_v that_o go_v innocent_o to_o hell_n they_o think_v they_o have_v grace_n and_o no_o man_n in_o the_o world_n can_v persuade_v they_o to_o the_o contrary_a and_o as_o strong_a a_o faith_n as_o any_o in_o the_o world_n and_o alas_o they_o have_v not_o they_o think_v they_o love_v christ_n and_o will_v do_v any_o thing_n for_o he_o but_o they_o never_o have_v that_o love_n flame_v in_o they_o from_o the_o power_n of_o divine_a love_n and_o spiritual_a gospell-principle_n now_o the_o reason_n why_o man_n go_v on_o thus_o be_v first_o because_o they_o never_o have_v the_o sight_n of_o their_o own_o nature_n they_o never_o be_v under_o the_o through-convictions_a of_o their_o sinful_a state_n by_o nature_n only_o breed_v up_o fair_o and_o ingenuous_o in_o the_o gospel_n god_n never_o show_v they_o their_o own_o face_n in_o the_o glass_n of_o the_o law_n only_o they_o have_v look_v on_o the_o law_n with_o their_o own_o eye_n in_o their_o own_o prospect_n it_o be_v impossible_a if_o god_n show_v a_o man_n his_o nature_n he_o shall_v go_v without_o principle_n in_o his_o heart_n second_o it_o come_v from_o a_o general_a view_n of_o the_o gospel_n mere_o from_o general_a consideration_n of_o the_o gospel_n and_o outward_a rule_n without_o any_o particular_a inward_a sense_n of_o the_o spirit_n and_o frame_v that_o shall_v be_v in_o he_o man_n look_v upon_o the_o gospel_n as_o a_o history_n and_o never_o come_v to_o see_v what_o spiritual_a frame_n shall_v be_v in_o their_o heart_n to_o every_o duty_n three_o man_n do_v find_v some_o kind_n of_o comfort_n in_o those_o way_n and_o they_o have_v not_o those_o check_n of_o conscience_n that_o other_o have_v because_o they_o be_v not_o so_o gross_a in_o their_o act_n but_o go_v on_o smooth_o without_o question_v their_o own_o state_n and_o their_o spirit_n be_v pretty_a well_o compose_v four_o the_o main_a and_o the_o great_a reason_n be_v want_n of_o through-examination_n want_v of_o dive_v into_o the_o depth_n of_o the_o heart_n not_o put_v a_o man_n self_n to_o it_o every_o day_n man_n take_v up_o mere_o the_o imitation_n as_o it_o be_v of_o other_o and_o the_o shadow_n and_o the_o outward_a expression_n and_o consider_v they_o not_o otherways_o whereas_o they_o be_v but_o show_v man_n never_o go_v no_o further_o in_o their_o own_o spirit_n than_o the_o outside_n never_o search_v their_o heart_n to_o lay_v they_o open_v before_o the_o majesty_n and_o authority_n of_o a_o great_a god_n and_o so_o they_o live_v and_o die_v secure_o and_o be_v not_o this_o a_o sad_a thing_n that_o a_o man_n shall_v think_v he_o have_v grace_n and_o have_v no_o intention_n at_o all_o to_o deceive_v that_o be_v he_o have_v not_o that_o cunning_a and_o desperate_a frame_n but_o only_o go_v on_o and_o trust_v his_o own_o judgement_n and_o trust_v his_o own_o general_a apprehension_n and_o hope_n well_o of_o himself_o and_o think_v sure_o he_o will_v do_v no_o wrong_n do_v no_o evil_a and_o this_o man_n slip_v down_o and_o away_o to_o the_o bottom_n of_o hell_n here_o be_v a_o hypocrite_n though_o not_o a_o profess_a one_o he_o be_v deceive_v though_o he_o intend_v not_o to_o deceive_v for_o here_o be_v that_o i_o will_v have_v you_o look_v to_o ☞_o it_o be_v not_o your_o think_n and_o say_v you_o have_v grace_n you_o may_v be_v hypocrite_n for_o all_o that_o if_o you_o be_v not_o what_o you_o appear_v to_o be_v you_o be_v a_o hypocrite_n whatsoever_o you_o seem_v to_o be_v and_o whether_o you_o think_v so_o or_o no._n god_n think_v so_o and_o know_v so_o and_o you_o will_v find_v it_o so_o one_o day_n when_o you_o come_v to_o have_v the_o veil_n take_v off_o from_o your_o eye_n paul_n wonder_v what_o he_o be_v a_o do_v when_o god_n open_v his_o eye_n what_o he_o have_v be_v do_v all_o this_o while_n therefore_o you_o have_v need_n be_v try_v your_o heart_n every_o day_n daily_o fear_v your_o heart_n and_o jealous_a over_o your_o spirit_n and_o suspect_v every_o motion_n until_o you_o have_v try_v your_o heart_n by_o law_n and_o gospel_n yea_o and_o wait_v upon_o the_o spirit_n for_o a_o new_a trial_n now_o there_o be_v a_o second_o sort_n and_o they_o be_v such_o as_o be_v conscious_a to_o themselves_o of_o their_o hypocrisy_n that_o they_o be_v not_o yet_o sound_a in_o the_o main_a and_o yet_o go_v on_o in_o their_o profession_n from_o their_o education_n or_o for_o

have_v their_o name_n enroll_v for_o saint_n in_o church_n and_o yet_o have_v a_o jealousy_n of_o their_o own_o hypocrisy_n and_o go_v on_o so_o for_o many_o year_n under_o many_o regret_v and_o

estate_n or_o to_o press_v they_o on_o to_o the_o through_o work_n of_o the_o gospel_n upon_o their_o heart_n and_o you_o shall_v find_v those_o person_n very_o high_a in_o prayer_n and_o very_o able_a to_o speak_v well_o in_o their_o converse_n with_o saint_n but_o they_o never_o meet_v with_o god_n in_o duty_n never_o have_v god_n assistance_n never_o find_v that_o spiritual_a strength_n when_o they_o hear_v man_n anatomise_v of_o soul_n they_o be_v only_o for_o keep_v up_o the_o glorious_a outside_n and_o the_o glory_n of_o outward_a form_n they_o have_v be_v some_o ten_o or_o

be_v very_o common_a and_o so_o it_o be_v with_o saul_n he_o know_v in_o his_o own_o heart_n that_o god_n have_v forsake_v he_o and_o yet_o he_o will_v be_v do_v something_o he_o will_v have_v
