The house of this hypocrite it is two-fold; or he hath two houses. He hath a worldly house, and he hath a spiritual house. He hath one house made out of earthly materials; and another made out of heavenly materials.
The house of this hypocrite it is two-fold; or he hath two houses. He hath a worldly house, and he hath a spirituall house. He hath one house made out of earthly materials; and another made out of heavenly materials.
1He hath an house made out of worldly materials, and so some interpret this place, He shall lean upon his house; that is, upon his riches, upon his relations, upon his greatness, upon his friends, upon his correspondencies, upon the estimation that he hath abroad in the world, upon his reputation with his neighbours at home.

These framed and put together are a house which the hypocrite builds for himself, upon these he rests: and that's a truth, the world is an hypocrites support, the house upon which he leans. The money in his chest upholds him, not faith in his heart; his goods please him more then goodness. He easily believes that he is in the favour of God, because he hath so much favour among men. That's one house.
