Secondly, There are such as speak right without any uprightness of heart, or they speak truth with a false heart; this Elihu specially professeth against; he would not only speak that which was right, but with uprightness. The Apostle found several teachers of this second sort (Phil: 1.16, 17, 18.) Some preach Christ, that is, the Gospel, yea the truth of Christ in the Gospel, (else the Apostle would not have rejoiced in it, as he professeth he did at the 18th verse, I therein do rejoice, yea and will rejoice.) Yet these men did not preach in the uprightness of their own hearts; for, saith he, Some Preach Christ out of envy and strife, and some out of good will, (they preached Christ, pure Gospel, yet not with pure hearts, for, he adds, they did it) supposing to add affliction to my bonds; They preached to oppose the Apostles more then to set up Christ, and though they preached the truth, yet they did it more in pretence then in truth; as 'tis said at the 18th verse. The same Apostle speaks of others, (2 Cor: 11.13, 14.) who preached what was true for the matter, and yet he calls them false Apostles, deceitful workers, transforming themselves into the Apostles of Christ, and no marvel, for ⟨p. 157⟩Satan himself is transformed into an Angel of light. They formed and shaped themselves into Angels of light, and took up the doctrine of the faithful Apostles of Jesus Christ in some things, yet they did it not in the uprightness of their hearts, but that they might weaken the estimation of the true Apostles in the hearts of the people, and set up themselves there, that so in other things they might with greater efficacy or more effectually, mis-lead them or draw them into error. Thus some are found speaking lies in the truth of their hearts, and others speaking truth in the falseness of their hearts.

The Apostle found several teachers of this second sort (Phil: 1.16, 17, 18.)

Yet these men did not preach in the uprightnesse of their own hearts; for, saith he, Some Preach Christ out of envy and strife, and some out of good will, (they preached Christ, pure Gospel, yet not with pure hearts, for, he adds, they did it) supposing to adde affliction to my bonds; They preacht to oppose the Apostles more then to set up Christ, and though they preached the truth, yet they did it more in pretence then in truth; as 'tis sayd at the 18th verse. The same Apostle speakes of others, (2 Cor: 11.13, 14.) who preached what was true for the matter, and yet he calls them false Apostles, deceitfull workers, transforming themselves into the Apostles of Christ, and no marvell, for
