a_o sincerity_n that_o be_v so_o perfect_a and_o complete_a that_o it_o have_v no_o deceit_n or_o falsehood_n join_v with_o it_o but_o as_o other_o grace_n be_v but_o in_o part_n we_o know_v but_o in_o part_n we_o love_v but_o in_o part_n so_o likewise_o we_o be_v sincere_a but_o in_o part_n so_o david_n a_o man_n after_o god_n own_o heart_n yet_o cry_v out_o who_o can_v understand_v his_o error_n ps_n ●9_n 12._o yea_o there_o be_v more_o hypocrisy_n and_o self_n end_v in_o the_o best_a than_o he_o can_v perceive_v so_o much_o be_v discover_v even_o to_o the_o best_a man_n as_o to_o make_v he_o humble_a and_o to_o trust_v in_o christ_n only_o and_o to_o make_v he_o cry_v out_o with_o david_n ps_n 51._o 6._o for_o truth_n in_o the_o inward_a part_n 2_o as_o we_o do_v not_o judge_v of_o a_o man_n integrity_n by_o one_o act_n and_o call_v he_o a_o sincere_a man_n that_o do_v some_o thing_n in_o a_o natural_a uprightness_n of_o heart_n as_o abimelech_n gen._n 20._o 5._o and_o as_o

not_o judge_v a_o man_n a_o hypocrite_n by_o any_o particular_a act_n or_o carriage_n at_o one_o time_n but_o by_o the_o constant_a course_n of_o his_o life_n his_o constant_a walk_n and_o way_n and_o

be_v no_o ebb_n stop_v or_o interruption_n therein_o we_o know_v the_o state_n of_o a_o christian_a here_o be_v a_o warfare_n between_o the_o flesh_n and_o the_o spirit_n type_v out_o by_o the_o
