Oh! how do many come into the presence of God 1when they are worshipping of him, and there profess to God the acknowledgement of his Greatness, his Glory, his Majesty, his Power, his Sovereignty, his Dominion over them, and profess a great deal of the fear of the Name of God! and yet God knows it is not in their hearts, it is ⟨p. 190⟩but as a lye to God; when they are worshipping God there they acknowledge their sin, and judg themselves for their sin, as if they were very much humbled, and troubled for their sin; but God knows that this is but a lye to him, there is no such humiliation of their hearts before him as seems to be in their expressions before God; especially when they are in company they cry to God for grace, and would fain above all things in the world have his Grace, but God knows 'tis but a lye, all their prayers are even besetting God with lies.
