Hypocrisy;d Have not I chosen you twelve and one of you is a devil? I, not another; emphatically, I, [Greek or Hebrew], the very Wisdom of GOD. Chosen, not entertained offering your service, nor admitted as suitors, but Chosen. You, not the refuse people out of the high ways, nor the great Personages of the Land; but you, whom I have elected to propagate my Gospel, how many? Twelve; a little number: Christs is the least College. Yet one of you is a devil; lay these particulars together, and sum up a hypocrite. The congregation of hypocrites shall be desolate, Job 15.34. The hypocrite is like Hose's dough-baked Cake, Hosea. 7.8. Only hot on the visible side. Seeing the fire of GODS Altar, the zeal of the Temple cannot heat them, they are reserved to be baked throughly in the Oven of hell.
