Hypocrite, This word, fear God is that which the hypocrite quite forgets, although it is that which sanctifies the whole duty of man. For this is that, and no thing without it, that can make a man sincere in his obedience, the hypocrite looks for applause abroad, and forgets that he is condemned at home, and both these he does because he wanteth the fear of God.
Hypocrite, Be admonished that none of the privileges that are spoken of in the former part of the Book belongs to ⟨p. 234⟩thee, because thou art an hypocrite; and if thou hope, thy hope shall be cut off, and if thou lean upon thy house, both thou and it shall fall into Hell-fire. Triumph then, thy Triumph is but for a while. Joy then, but the Joy of the Hypocrite is but for a moment, Job 8.13, 14, 15. Chap. 20.4, 5, 6.
