Did men love Christ, they would endeavour to draw as many as they could to him. He who loves his Captain, will persuade others to come under his Banner; this unmasks the hypocrite. Though an hypocrite may make a show of Grace himself, yet he never minds the procuring Grace in others; he is [Greek or Hebrew] without bowels. I may allude to that, Zac. 11. 9. That which dies, let it die, and that which is cut off, let it be cut off. Let souls go to the Devil, he cares not.
