The fifth thing is, in truth, when we come to call upon God, we must call upon him in truth, Psal. 145.18. the Lord is nigh unto all, to all that call upon him in truth; you will say, what is the meaning of that? to that I answer.

First, there must be inward dispositions answerable to the expressions; as for instance, when I come to expresse the greatnesse of the Majesty of God, then I must have an inward disposition sutable to this expression, I must have a fear and reverence of the infinite Majestie of God.
Secondly, When I come to confess my sin, to judge my self ⟨p. 293⟩for my sin, there must be an inward disposition suitable to such a confession; O how many men and women will come and speak great things against themselves for their sins, and judge themselves for their sins, and yet there is no such disposition in their hearts suitable to their words; you shall have some in praying with others, they will be a means to brk the hearts of others, they will so follow their sin; and take such shame and confusion upon themselves for their sin, and yet God knows their hearts not stirred all this while; and then they will call upon God for pardon of sin, and for power against their sin, and yet God knows that their hearts do close with their sin, and are loth to part with their sin in the mean time, this is falseness of heart; when the inward disposition is not answerable to outward expressions; I beseech you my brethren consider of the prayers you have made, and especially you that pray much with others, look what expressions you have made, and see whether there be answerable dispositions to the expressions you have made, and how that the Lord doth remember every expression that you have made.
