Rule 5.
The vogue and opinion you have got among Christians, of your sincerity, will not be sufficient to clear you from the danger of Hypocrisy. Christ tells the Angel of Sardis, Rev. 3. 1. Thou hast a name that thou livest, and art dead. The fall of Hymeneus and Philetus, could never have shaken the faith of the Saints as it did, had ⟨p. 192⟩they not had great credit in the Church, & been men of renown for piety among them.
