2. This Doctrine pronounces the Misery of all hypocrites. For it follows by the Rule of contraries, that with such froward pieces, God will show himself froward. He that walks contrary to God, shall have God to walk contrary to him. The way of hypocrisy, as well as of impenitency, is a way of contrariety to God, whose holy Law the hypocrite casts behind his back; it is a way of contrariety to Jesus Christ, his Prophetical Chair, his Priestly ⟨p. 125⟩Cross, and his Kingly Throne; and certainly God will walk contrarily unto them. He will out-wit the subtlest, and overthrow the stubbornest hypocrite on earth. He taketh the wise in their own craftiness, and the counsel of the ¹froward is carried headlong. He that will wrestle with God, shall feel it first or last.
