Secondly, we must make some good use of that was bad in Cain, which is double. First, to take great heed to our selves to mortify those vices, and shun those sins which we find related of him. Cain was a very Hypocrite, a man that contented himself with the outward acts of Gods Worship, but was not Sanctified, did not frame his heart to please God and set himself to do well. O take heed to your selves that you be not such, but labour to present your hearts to God, and in all his services to offer your souls and bodies to him, and not alone the external service, seek in and by the duties of religion to be made new creatures. Join care of a good life in your whole conversation with your outward devotion, then you shall not be Hypocrites, but upright. Beware of Hypocrisy, find out it self and its ill effects, lament them, confess them, pray against them. Be afraid least you should prove Hypocrites, cry to God to keep you from being such, and to make you sincere. An Hypocrite is apt to run into all sin, nothing is accepted from him, he is apt to fall away into open profaneness, and to be quite cast of by God for his sins.
