O Brethren! a false and base heart, nothing sets on affliction, a loss, a scandal, an accusation, so close as it: when a mans heart can smite him for an hypocrite, for a lover of sin: hypocrisy sinks the conscience under these burdens: But uprightness can look an accusation in the face, and bear up the spirit in a storm, and though uprightness may be exposed to many crosses, yet it can comfort a man in the sadest day, for it hath always a good friend abroad, of God, and within of conscience.
