But Satan's counterfeit seal of Demonstration, stamps his own image; he is seemingly an Angel of light, whilst really a Devil; and he that is thus sealed by Satan, resembles him in this, he is a seeming Saint, a real Devil; So Christ spake of Judas, Have not I chosen you twelve, and one of you is a Devil?

Civill Holiness may, and many times doth enable a man to carry himself civilly, and holily in the eyes of men; but saving Holiness makes a man studious, and careful to approve himself unto God, in his very thoughts and affections, and in the motions of his heart, as well as the motions of the outward man; yea, this is that which he is most careful of, and industrious about, that is sealed by the holy Spirit of God, his chief work is within doors; his principal care, desire and endeavour, is to approve his heart unto God, and so walk, that he may be accepted of him, and glorify him.
