Doth true conviction and compunction work reformation of life, in the people of God? even hypocrites also have been famous for their reformations. The unclean spirit often goes out of the formal hypocrite, by an external reformation; and yet still retains his propriety in them, Mat. 12. 43, 44. For that departure is indeed no more than a politic retreat. Many that shall never escape the damnation of hell, have yet escaped the pollutions of the world, and that by the knowledge of the Son of God, 2 Pet. 2. 20.

Doth the Spirit of the Lord produce that glorious and supernatural work of faith, in convinced and humbled souls? in this also the hypocrite apes and imitates the believer, Acts 8. 13. Then Simon himself believed also, Luke 8. 13. These are they which for a while believe, and in time of temptation fall away.
