Thus much of the remedy it self; now follow two circumstances therein further to be considered: I. The party to whom the remedy is given; that is, an Hypocrite: II. When this remedy is to be practised; First, pluck out, &c. For the party: by Hypocrite we must understand1 him, that in heart and speech is prone to conceive, and give rash judgement of other mens sayings and actions: and good cause there is why he is so called, for this man hath the sin of hypocrisy reigning in him, he desires to seem more holy then others, and therefore gives himself to censure others, that by debasing of others, he may advance himself: see this in the hypocritical Pharisee, I thank God that I am not as other men, extortioners, unjust, adulterers: or even as this Publican, I fast twice in the week, &c. Luk. 18. 10, 11. But they must know, ⟨p. 429⟩that this censuring of others, is a fruit of hypocrisy, arising out of an hollow heart.

Luk. 18. 10, 11. But they must know, ⟨p. 429⟩that this censuring of others, is a fruit of hypocrisie, arising out of an hollow heart.
