Again, where there is hypocrisy, there is sin, but there will be hypocrisy in the Church, after God shall have brought home his ancient people. Some (q)of very great note and worth, have thought that there would a time come long before the day of judgment, when the Church upon earth would be so pure, that not an hypocrite would be in it: But how can that stand with the words of Christ, who hath assured us that there will be tares in the field, i. e. hypocrites in the Church, even till the end of this world, whereas the Jews shall be converted before (though towards) the end of this world. Therefore there must be tares, therefore there must be hypocrites, and therefore sin in the Churches of Israel after their conversion unto Christ.
