But there are also inequalities which arise from falseness of 1heart; As when a man hath an Ague, which infects his humour or spirits, or both, he hath one good day, and another bad day; or as it is with a land-flood, this hour posting in with such an high speed, as if it would domineer over all the County, and yet by and by it spends away it self, there is no more of it to be seen: so it may be with a man whose heart is false to God: it may be with him thus, he may have his moods, his starts, one while like those, accompanying Christ, and magnifying him with an Hosanna in the highest; another while quite turned, and crying out, Crucify, Crucify him: So here one day, or week, who but God, and what but duty, not a Sermon missed, not a prayer neglected; yet on a sudden slow to hear, careless to pray, indifferent to any holy performance.2
