I Answer.
Sol. It matters not how much hypocrisy hath been hatched within thee. and acted by thee heretofore, If now thou comest to be sensible of thy hypocrisy and to condemn it, & to bewail it, & to abhor it, if former hypocrisy be now come to hearty conflict, though be giving out into many thoughts of self and base ends, yet be not dismayed, go to God, he can subdue it, and he can take out that guile of thy spirit, and he can fashion a straitness and rightness of heavenly frame within thee; he is able to make good whatsoever he hath promised.
