Secondly, Observe,
An hypocrites hope is high and strong, that his estate is good now, and that he shall receive good at the last.
He leaneth upon this house. Some are without hope in the world, of whom we may speak as the Apostle of an heretic (Tit. 3.11.) they are condemned of themselves. Some men have the sentence of condemnation in their own hearts. But there are others, as you see here, who have great and strong confidences in themselves, who live and die with this confidence too; This they do upon the former witness. As the Apostle John speaks concerning the witness which the Saints have for heaven, There are three which bear witness &c. and these three are one: So there are three which bear witness to the hypocrite, and these three are one; they agree in one to deceive, as the other to give assurance.
