be_v they_o have_v the_o same_o motion_n as_o to_o will_v and_o desire_n but_o not_o the_o same_o principle_n and_o therefore_o it_o be_v no_o wonder_n a_o man_n may_v be_v deceive_v in_o his_o own_o

as_o it_o be_v it_o have_v come_v and_o pass_v through_o the_o many_o variety_n of_o nature_n and_o grace_n and_o than_o if_o i_o shall_v add_v how_o apt_a man_n be_v to_o be_v persuade_v of_o the_o

with_o many_o other_o deceit_n than_o you_o will_v easy_o say_v a_o man_n may_v be_v unsound_a and_o never_o know_v it_o in_o his_o own_o spirit_n for_o a_o long_a while_n second_o a_o man_n may_v

you_o first_o there_o be_v in_o some_o man_n such_o a_o moral_a such_o a_o natural_a sincerity_n as_o i_o may_v so_o say_v in_o their_o act_n that_o they_o be_v not_o dispose_v unto_o the_o contradict_a of_o their_o principle_n and_o their_o act_n they_o be_v temper_v within_o themselves_o they_o be_v not_o dispose_v to_o contradict_v their_o act_n so_o it_o be_v say_v of_o the_o sincerity_n of_o alimelech_n as_o concern_v abraham_n wife_n he_o appeal_v to_o god_n in_o genesis_n 20._o in_o the_o beginning_n say_v he_o in_o the_o integrity_n of_o my_o heart_n and_o innocency_n of_o my_o hand_n have_v i_o do_v this_o say_v god_n i_o know_v thy_o integrity_n now_o there_o be_v such_o a_o sincerity_n even_o in_o man_n that_o have_v not_o grace_n that_o they_o will_v not_o do_v such_o a_o thing_n if_o they_o know_v it_o to_o be_v unjust_a according_a to_o their_o principle_n they_o will_v not_o do_v it_o for_o a_o world_n or_o if_o they_o have_v take_v up_o a_o opinion_n they_o will_v not_o go_v against_o their_o opinion_n there_o be_v such_o a_o kind_n of_o sincerity_n now_o the_o same_o may_v be_v in_o the_o gospel_n that_o be_v i_o go_v on_o honest_o as_o i_o think_v able_a to_o preach_v and_o pray_v and_o i_o have_v no_o kind_n of_o ill_a intention_n to_o deceive_v only_o i_o have_v not_o a_o spiritual_a principle_n to_o act_v i_o there_o be_v my_o misery_n i_o come_v not_o so_o much_o to_o be_v see_v of_o man_n as_o from_o the_o intention_n of_o my_o heart_n but_o i_o come_v not_o to_o have_v christ_n or_o to_o meet_v with_o christ_n so_o i_o be_o a_o hypocrite_n because_o i_o come_v not_o from_o the_o main_a principle_n therefore_o first_o know_v this_o as_o a_o rule_n that_o you_o may_v see_v this_o clear_a that_o simplicity_n of_o intention_n can_v justify_v any_o act_n of_o man_n that_o be_v bad_a all_o will_v grant_v that_o for_o as_o it_o be_v with_o pilate_n he_o wash_v his_o hand_n yet_o that_o do_v not_o excuse_v he_o second_o my_o intention_n in_o any_o action_n do_v not_o make_v a_o thing_n to_o be_v true_a or_o good_a in_o itself_o at_o all_o as_o if_o i_o have_v a_o jewel_n to_o sell_v my_o intention_n in_o the_o sell_v it_o for_o a_o good_a one_o may_v deceive_v the_o buyer_n it_o be_v counterfeit_n no_o act_n can_v be_v good_a without_o a_o good_a intention_n but_o my_o good_a intention_n make_v not_o the_o thing_n real_o good_a in_o itself_o if_o the_o thing_n in_o itself_o be_v not_o perfect_a and_o good_a it_o be_v hypocrisy_n three_o know_v that_o a_o mere_a good_a intention_n may_v proceed_v from_o the_o natural_a constitution_n of_o a_o person_n not_o from_o the_o goodness_n of_o his_o heart_n it_o may_v be_v i_o be_o not_o give_v so_o much_o to_o cunning_a and_o deceit_n as_o other_o man_n but_o have_v a_o plain_a natural_a constitution_n but_o if_o it_o come_v to_o a_o particular_a it_o may_v be_v i_o have_v as_o much_o in_o my_o intention_n if_o i_o be_v put_v to_o it_o as_o other_o four_o know_v this_o about_o intention_n and_o the_o sincerity_n of_o they_o that_o sincerity_n that_o will_v demonstrate_v a_o man_n to_o be_v a_o saint_n must_v flow_v from_o the_o pure_a and_o even_a working_n of_o principle_n towards_o their_o end_n sincerity_n must_v flow_v from_o the_o even_o act_v of_o faculty_n within_o towards_o their_o end_n i_o do_v not_o act_v sincere_o to_o god_n though_o i_o pray_v never_o so_o much_o in_o duty_n if_o i_o have_v not_o a_o divine_a spiritual_a spring_n of_o love_n to_o god_n a_o heart_n impulse_v move_v to_o god_n from_o the_o power_n of_o his_o own_o spirit_n if_o i_o have_v not_o grace_n act_v together_o in_o a_o harmony_n faith_n and_o love_n and_o all_o other_o grace_n pure_o and_o real_o work_v to_o god_n for_o sincerity_n as_o i_o may_v say_v be_v but_o the_o spiritual_a tune_n of_o the_o motion_n of_o all_o grace_n in_o a_o man_n soul_n it_o be_v no_o more_o but_o i_o will_v close_v up_o all_o there_o be_v many_o thing_n i_o shall_v have_v show_v you_o but_o now_o for_o distinction_n sake_n have_v lay_v down_o this_o that_o a_o man_n may_v be_v a_o hypocrite_n and_o not_o know_v it_o think_v he_o have_v grace_n and_o have_v it_o not_o i_o shall_v therefore_o come_v and_o show_v you_o the_o several_a sort_n of_o hypocrite_n i_o will_v but_o name_v they_o first_o there_o be_v a_o mere_a formal_a hypocrite_n that_o insensible_o drudge_n on_o in_o his_o duty_n pray_n and_o hear_v and_o come_v to_o church_n and_o no_o more_o and_o have_v no_o inward_a power_n nor_o virtue_n in_o his_o own_o soul_n nor_o be_v convince_v of_o any_o thing_n to_o the_o contrary_a as_o papist_n say_v over_o their_o bead_n whilst_o they_o be_v sleep_v i_o confess_v every_o formalist_n be_v a_o hypocrite_n but_o there_o be_v a_o low_a sort_n of_o formalist_n that_o mere_o drudge_n and_o that_o be_v all_o there_o be_v something_o want_v within_o second_o there_o be_v a_o zealous_a hypocrite_n and_o he_o seem_v to_o actuate_v his_o form_n a_o fiery_a hypocrite_n as_o i_o may_v so_o say_v one_o that_o you_o will_v think_v have_v life_n and_o soul_n indeed_o and_o follow_v on_o religion_n to_o purpose_n and_o yet_o it_o be_v but_o his_o passion_n and_o humour_n no_o grace_n at_o all_o
in_o another_o condition_n this_o be_v that_o i_o will_v speak_v unto_o it_o be_v not_o my_o intention_n only_o that_o will_v make_v i_o a_o hypocrite_n it_o make_v i_o a_o grosser_n to_o feign_v and_o dissemble_v but_o it_o be_v as_o well_o the_o one_o as_o the_o other_o the_o want_n of_o the_o real_a principle_n the_o want_n of_o a_o sound_a work_n upon_o my_o heart_n take_v in_o the_o first_o place_n this_o consideration_n first_o i_o appear_v to_o myself_o and_o other_o to_o be_v what_o god_n will_v not_o own_v i_o to_o be_v at_o the_o last_o day_n so_o there_o be_v hypocrisy_n in_o fundamental_o i_o say_v i_o have_v grace_n and_o god_n say_v i_o have_v none_o i_o say_v i_o believe_v and_o god_n will_v never_o own_o my_o faith_n when_o it_o come_v to_o trial_n i_o be_o as_o far_o to_o seek_v and_o i_o be_o as_o much_o a_o hypocrite_n for_o i_o have_v a_o false_a faith_n a_o false_a motion_n after_o god_n and_o christ_n as_o much_o as_o if_o i_o do_v intend_v to_o palliate_v to_o counterfeit_v my_o faith_n on_o purpose_n a_o man_n may_v have_v the_o complexion_n but_o not_o the_o constitution_n of_o a_o saint_n if_o i_o appear_v not_o real_o what_o i_o be_o before_o god_n i_o be_o a_o hypocrite_n therefore_o this_o i_o say_v be_v the_o great_a thing_n that_o few_o in_o the_o world_n do_v know_v that_o most_o of_o professor_n be_v hypocrite_n they_o be_v not_o thorough_o convert_v though_o they_o have_v as_o they_o think_v the_o glorious_a working_n of_o god_n upon_o they_o yet_o if_o they_o be_v not_o true_a and_o real_a and_o will_v go_v through_o the_o fire_n of_o a_o divine_a eye_n and_o the_o search_n of_o that_o omnisciencie_n of_o the_o lord_n they_o will_v never_o hold_v i_o be_o a_o hypocrite_n though_o not_o so_o in_o intention_n i_o be_o not_o so_o as_o to_o the_o formality_n of_o hypocrisy_n but_o i_o be_o so_o real_o as_o to_o god_n therefore_o consider_v of_o it_o consider_v it_o for_o the_o most_o people_n think_v if_o they_o have_v but_o a_o good_a honest_a intention_n in_o what_o they_o do_v they_o think_v they_o be_v perfect_o free_a of_o all_o danger_n of_o hypocrisy_n they_o be_v safe_a and_o sound_a in_o religion_n if_o they_o pray_v and_o do_v not_o dissemble_v in_o their_o prayer_n that_o be_v that_o their_o heart_n and_o their_o tongue_n do_v not_o jar_v but_o do_v agree_v they_o be_v then_o free_a from_o hypocrisy_n but_o that_o be_v a_o miserable_a mistake_n for_o alas_o it_o be_v all_o one_o whether_o or_o no_o you_o feign_v yourselves_o to_o be_v what_o you_o be_v not_o or_o be_v not_o what_o you_o think_v yourselves_o to_o be_v it_o be_v all_o one_o as_o to_o the_o thing_n itself_o you_o will_v find_v it_o so_o one_o day_n in_o your_o own_o spirit_n when_o you_o shall_v find_v all_o that_o ever_o you_o have_v do_v to_o be_v but_o glorious_a appearance_n what_o will_v it_o do_v you_o good_a when_o you_o can_v say_v only_o i_o have_v a_o good_a intention_n i_o think_v i_o pray_v well_o and_o have_v the_o strain_n of_o the_o gospel_n in_o my_o own_o spirit_n what_o will_v this_o do_v you_o good_a if_o you_o be_v not_o find_v so_o but_o this_o be_v that_o i_o say_v that_o if_o i_o have_v not_o the_o truth_n in_o i_o of_o what_o i_o do_v profess_v though_o i_o do_v sincere_o and_o honest_o profess_v what_o i_o think_v it_o be_v all_o one_o as_o to_o the_o nature_n of_o the_o thing_n as_o if_o i_o do_v feign_v what_o i_o be_o not_o for_o i_o shall_v be_v as_o well_o undo_v by_o the_o one_o as_o by_o the_o other_o and_o i_o be_o not_o the_o person_n i_o think_v myself_o to_o be_v nor_o other_o think_v to_o be_v if_o god_n think_v not_o i_o to_o be_v what_o i_o and_o other_o think_v i_o to_o be_v and_o to_o what_o end_n shall_v we_o soulke_v up_o and_o down_o and_o not_o be_v what_o we_o be_v in_o our_o own_o heart_n but_o delude_v ourselves_o and_o not_o deal_v faithful_o with_o our_o own_o spirit_n ☞_o as_o now_o take_v a_o preacher_n of_o the_o gospel_n suppose_v i_o preach_v the_o gospel_n if_o i_o preach_v any_o thing_n that_o be_v untruth_n or_o a_o lie_n though_o i_o do_v it_o with_o never_o so_o honest_a a_o heart_n i_o shall_v be_v damn_v for_o it_o if_o i_o preach_v against_o jesus_n christ_n any_o thing_n that_o will_v destroy_v the_o fundamental_o of_o the_o gospel_n i_o shall_v be_v destroy_v for_o all_o that_o though_o i_o be_v never_o so_o honest_a in_o my_o intention_n for_o our_o intention_n be_v but_o natural_a and_o common_a if_o i_o think_v i_o have_v grace_n and_o a_o work_n of_o god_n upon_o my_o soul_n and_o yet_o have_v it_o not_o it_o be_v all_o one_o as_o with_o those_o that_o know_v they_o have_v no_o work_n of_o god_n and_o yet_o profess_v second_o there_o be_v hypocrisy_n see_v in_o it_o likewise_o because_o i_o take_v up_o thing_n in_o a_o general_a manner_n and_o never_o try_v they_o nor_o my_o own_o heart_n by_o they_o that_o show_v my_o hypocrisy_n though_o i_o think_v i_o be_o real_a in_o my_o intention_n i_o shall_v try_v they_o over_o and_o over_o again_o but_o to_o make_v out_o this_o a_o little_a more_o clear_a to_o you_o let_v we_o consider_v in_o the_o general_a the_o power_n that_o imagination_n have_v upon_o the_o spirit_n of_o man_n take_v ●●y_o one_o that_o be_v think_v to_o converse_v with_o the_o devil_n and_o trade_n with_o he_o upon_o promise_n of_o gold_n and_o silver_n and_o the_o like_a the_o power_n of_o imagination_n will_v work_v upon_o such_o a_o man_n that_o he_o will_v believe_v on_o the_o devil_n that_o he_o have_v all_o the_o riches_n in_o the_o world_n the_o gold_n of_o the_o indies_n this_o the_o very_a power_n of_o imagination_n will_v do_v he_o think_v he_o can_v want_v nothing_o and_o yet_o so_o strong_a be_v this_o power_n of_o imagination_n upon_o he_o all_o his_o day_n do_v but_o take_v a_o man_n in_o a_o melancholy_a strain_n he_o will_v think_v real_o he_o be_v what_o he_o think_v any_o other_o man_n to_o be_v if_o any_o man_n be_v take_v in_o a_o fever_n he_o will_v believe_v he_o be_v so_o he_o will_v sweat_v at_o it_o if_o any_o one_o be_v think_v to_o go_v mad_a he_o will_v be_v the_o same_o it_o be_v the_o same_o in_o

for_o fear_n may_v put_v a_o man_n exceed_o on_o to_o duty_n and_o be_v but_o a_o hypocrite_n all_o this_o while_n now_o of_o these_o there_o be_v two_o sort_n that_o live_v under_o terror_n and_o i_o

sin_n be_v never_o know_v what_o it_o be_v to_o be_v pierce_v through_o with_o the_o dart_n of_o the_o gospel_n for_o sin_n second_o they_o think_v by_o this_o to_o get_v the_o pity_n and_o

a_o good_a word_n to_o soul_n yet_o they_o look_v for_o it_o three_o they_o show_v their_o hypocrisy_n by_o this_o they_o look_v upon_o themselves_o by_o it_o as_o poor_a in_o spirit_n always_o in_o

never_o come_v to_o he_o but_o he_o have_v low_a esteem_n of_o himself_o four_o but_o the_o great_a strain_n of_o hypocrisy_n lie_v in_o this_o they_o perfect_o rest_v in_o this_o strain_n of_o

say_v he_o take_v care_n only_o for_o a_o little_a outward_a concernment_n and_o garb_n of_o religion_n that_o be_v all_o five_o this_o be_v a_o discovery_n of_o a_o hypocrite_n as_o to_o duty_n in_o
