to_o you_o the_o nature_n of_o hypocrisy_n what_o kind_n and_o sort_n of_o hypocrite_n there_o be_v in_o the_o world_n and_o the_o last_o time_n you_o may_v remember_v we_o show_v you_o the_o act_n of_o hypocrisy_n as_o to_o duty_n in_o general_a for_o hypocrisy_n be_v most_o act_v in_o duty_n a_o man_n may_v find_v out_o his_o own_o deceit_n in_o many_o thing_n more_o easy_o than_o in_o duty_n for_o in_o duty_n there_o be_v such_o fair_a colour_n no_o man_n know_v how_o to_o discover_v himself_o or_o other_o if_o he_o be_v not_o careful_a in_o his_o own_o heart_n but_o there_o be_v three_o thing_n propound_v at_o the_o latter_a end_n which_o we_o can_v not_o come_v to_o not_o only_o as_o to_o duty_n in_o general_a but_o first_o the_o hypocrisy_n of_o man_n in_o prayer_n and_o how_o a_o hypocrite_n be_v discover_v there_o secondlie_o as_o to_o communion_n and_o converse_n with_o saint_n and_o godly_a person_n and_o three_o as_o to_o his_o carriage_n in_o the_o world_n those_o three_o we_o will_v speak_v to_o at_o this_o time_n first_o hypocrisy_n as_o to_o prayer_n which_o be_v a_o duty_n that_o hypocrite_n most_o glory_n in_o of_o any_o that_o be_v the_o duty_n wherein_o saint_n get_v so_o much_o of_o god_n and_o have_v so_o much_o experience_n of_o god_n in_o it_o be_v a_o duty_n that_o be_v use_v as_o the_o common_a way_n to_o get_v whatsoever_o a_o soul_n will_v have_v let_v your_o request_n be_v make_v know_v to_o god_n therefore_o there_o be_v no_o duty_n a_o hypocrite_n be_v more_o exact_a in_o than_o that_o for_o he_o imitate_v a_o saint_n that_o be_v the_o nature_n of_o a_o hypocrite_n that_o he_o imitate_v a_o saint_n in_o those_o duty_n he_o be_v most_o in_o that_o he_o get_v most_o by_o none_o know_v the_o income_n that_o saint_n have_v in_o the_o duty_n of_o prayer_n how_o much_o of_o god_n be_v let_v into_o they_o and_o how_o much_o their_o soul_n be_v let_v out_o unto_o god_n when_o none_o know_v it_o it_o be_v a_o duty_n that_o be_v of_o that_o request_n among_o those_o that_o be_v godly_a that_o if_o a_o hypocrite_n be_v not_o good_a at_o that_o he_o be_v good_a at_o nothing_o if_o he_o be_v not_o very_o curious_a there_o he_o will_v be_v of_o little_a account_n for_o it_o be_v common_a for_o one_o to_o desire_v to_o pray_v one_o for_o another_o and_o with_o one_o another_o abundance_n of_o income_n come_v by_o it_o in_o a_o spiritual_a way_n and_o therefore_o that_o be_v the_o care_n of_o a_o hypocrite_n to_o do_v that_o well_o whatever_o he_o neglect_v and_o you_o shall_v find_v that_o as_o to_o their_o part_n they_o never_o excel_v so_o
outward_a religion_n without_o any_o power_n to_o lead_v man_n to_o holiness_n in_o sincerity_n and_o so_o they_o mix_v their_o own_o interest_n with_o any_o thing_n of_o the_o gospel_n you_o must_v not_o think_v they_o preach_v hypocrisy_n no_o they_o be_v wise_a man_n and_o observant_a but_o their_o doctrine_n do_v lead_v man_n always_o to_o nothing_o but_o outside_n of_o religion_n to_o be_v common_a professor_n and_o look_v after_o nothing_o at_o all_o but_o the_o mere_a show_n of_o the_o gospel_n and_o of_o the_o law_n the_o doctrine_n itself_o be_v good_a but_o they_o mix_v it_o with_o some_o other_o end_n they_o have_v a_o dash_n of_o their_o own_o as_o i_o may_v say_v with_o what_o they_o say_v they_o be_v never_o pure_a and_o sincere_a in_o their_o act_n therefore_o the_o same_o word_n that_o be_v put_v for_o sincerity_n be_v put_v for_o unleavened_a bread_n that_o be_v pure_a bread_n that_o be_v make_v up_o without_o any_o leaven_n now_o if_o a_o soul_n be_v not_o clear_a and_o sound_a in_o the_o principle_n of_o the_o gospel_n in_o the_o working_n of_o it_o he_o be_v a_o hypocrite_n be_v he_o what_o he_o will_n there_o may_v be_v mixture_n in_o second_o act_n but_o if_o there_o be_v mixture_n in_o principle_n that_o be_v hypocrisy_n and_o upon_o this_o account_n all_o professor_n that_o live_v under_o the_o gospel_n be_v they_o of_o what_o height_n they_o will_v they_o be_v hypocrite_n they_o never_o have_v a_o sound_a work_n of_o god_n if_o there_o be_v a_o mixture_n in_o the_o principle_n and_o the_o end_n they_o be_v hypocrite_n that_o never_o have_v a_o through_o work_n of_o god_n and_o pure_a divine_a principle_n act_v in_o their_o soul_n but_o have_v a_o mixture_n of_o other_o end_n in_o their_o heart_n that_o do_v leaven_n and_o spread_v through_o their_o whole_a principle_n they_o be_v hypocrite_n but_o for_o a_o sincere_a soul_n in_o principle_n and_o act_n they_o have_v real_o unmixed_a act_n from_o heavenly_a and_o holy_a principle_n to_o a_o holy_a and_o spiritual_a and_o divine_a end_n how_o many_o hypocrite_n shall_v we_o then_o find_v before_o we_o have_v do_v if_o man_n will_v but_o search_v their_o heart_n but_o that_o man_n may_v be_v thus_o hypocrite_n and_o think_v they_o have_v grace_n and_o yet_o not_o know_v so_o do_v not_o believe_v they_o be_v such_o i_o will_v give_v you_o first_o some_o demonstration_n second_o show_v you_o that_o they_o may_v have_v some_o sincerity_n and_o yet_o be_v hypocrite_n first_o that_o man_n may_v be_v hypocrite_n and_o yet_o not_o know_v it_o in_o their_o own_o spirit_n take_v these_o demonstration_n first_o from_o the_o general_a rule_n that_o all_o divine_n give_v that_o whatsoever_o grace_n be_v in_o a_o saint_n the_o likeness_n and_o imitation_n of_o it_o may_v be_v in_o a_o hypocrite_n and_o he_o may_v think_v he_o have_v it_o so_o there_o be_v a_o faith_n in_o the_o gospel_n like_o the_o faith_n of_o a_o true_a believer_n there_o be_v a_o joy_n in_o the_o gospel_n like_o those_o that_o have_v see_v the_o face_n of_o god_n there_o be_v a_o patience_n in_o the_o gospel_n like_o that_o which_o come_v to_o the_o perfect_a submission_n to_o god_n will_v and_o so_o i_o may_v go_v over_o all_o the_o rest_n and_o so_o there_o be_v a_o likeness_n of_o sincerity_n to_o that_o which_o be_v flow_v out_o from_o a_o pure_a heavenly_a spirit_n for_o look_v whatsoever_o god_n have_v imprint_v that_o the_o devil_n can_v paint_v what_o god_n leave_v as_o a_o character_n of_o the_o heart_n of_o a_o saint_n that_o the_o devil_n may_v strive_v to_o imitate_v and_o from_o a_o compliance_n in_o a_o man_n own_o temper_n form_n up_o the_o same_o as_o child_n do_v make_v up_o baby_n in_o imitation_n of_o child_n which_o be_v real_a and_o those_o that_o know_v not_o this_o know_v nothing_o but_o second_o as_o another_o consideration_n and_o demonstration_n to_o make_v this_o out_o know_v that_o all_o those_o thing_n we_o call_v moral_a virtue_n that_o be_v in_o heathen_n that_o be_v the_o very_a relic_n and_o remainder_n of_o pure_a nature_n that_o god_n have_v leave_v in_o some_o measure_n those_o moral_a virtue_n be_v as_o much_o improve_v in_o the_o gospel_n without_o grace_n as_o any_o other_o consideration_n principle_n or_o rule_v i_o say_v moral_a virtue_n as_o the_o justice_n integrity_n patience_n keep_v of_o corruption_n and_o the_o

the_o great_a pattern_n of_o morality_n that_o ever_o live_v in_o the_o heathen_a world_n have_v they_o be_v under_o the_o law_n with_o paul_n and_o bring_v up_o under_o the_o legal_a dispensation_n as_o paul_n and_o the_o young_a man_n in_o the_o gospel_n be_v mat._n 19_o they_o will_v have_v as_o easy_o comply_v with_o that_o rule_n that_o be_v be_v as_o fair_a as_o improve_v man_n as_o ever_o paul_n or_o as_o the_o young_a man_n that_o come_v to_o christ_n and_o say_v he_o do_v never_o omit_v any_o of_o those_o thing_n from_o his_o youth_n they_o do_v all_o that_o the_o light_n of_o nature_n do_v show_v they_o and_o their_o conscience_n and_o paul_n conscience_n do_v not_o check_v he_o doubtless_o as_o to_o his_o exact_a walk_v according_a to_o the_o rule_n of_o the_o law_n now_o as_o the_o law_n be_v a_o high_a rule_n than_o the_o light_n of_o nature_n because_o it_o be_v express_v and_o give_v more_o positive_o by_o god_n and_o some_o spiritual_a addition_n give_v to_o it_o be_v write_v by_o that_o finger_n of_o god_n the_o other_o have_v as_o it_o be_v the_o whole_a copy_n so_o socrates_n and_o seneca_n have_v they_o be_v under_o the_o law_n and_o bring_v up_o as_o well_o as_o paul_n be_v pharisees_n they_o will_v have_v take_v in_o as_o easy_o those_o thing_n and_o have_v bring_v up_o under_o it_o with_o as_o much_o zeal_n and_o largeness_n and_o refinednesse_n of_o their_o nature_n as_o he_o and_o my_o reason_n be_v this_o because_o outward_a rule_n be_v as_o improvable_a by_o one_o as_o another_o according_a as_o a_o man_n be_v but_o under_o the_o

if_o the_o very_a mere_a light_n of_o nature_n imprint_v and_o glimmering_n in_o a_o man_n conscience_n can_v learn_v a_o man_n so_o far_o how_o will_v a_o man_n come_v to_o be_v when_o he_o be_v under_o the_o letter_n of_o the_o law_n and_o believe_v it_o be_v write_v by_o the_o finger_n of_o god_n and_o than_o if_o a_o man_n shall_v pass_v through_o the_o law_n and_o come_v to_o the_o
