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.
Doth the precious eye of faith, discovering the transcendent excellencies that are in Christ, inflame the affections of the believing soul with vehement desires and longings after him? Strange motions of heart have also been found in hypocrites ⟨p. 110⟩towards Christ and heavenly things, John 6. 34. Lord evermore give us this bread, Mat. 25. 8. Give us of your oil, for our lamps are gone out. With what a rapture was Balaam transported, when he said, Let me dye the death of the righteous, and my last end be like his? Numb. 23. 10.
