one that did betray Christ with a kiss, pretending to be his friend, when he was treacherous and false to him and to his Interest. Such men there are in the world, as will out of respect to carnal ends and designs make pretensions to Religion: They are like the Devil. There is in the Field of Christ, (in his Church in the World) not only Wheat but Tares, there are not only sincere Professo••, but Hypocrites. They are the Children of the Wicked One. Mat. 13.38. and all Liars are so. The Devil is a Liar, and the Father of it, because he is the Father of them that are so. Liars join with the Devil in sinning, and as they partake with him in sinning, so shall they have the Devils punishment. What is the Devils punishment? It is an exclusion out of Heaven: And what is the punishment of all Liars? They shall in no wise enter into the Heavenly Jerusalem. They shall be excluded, as the Devil their Father is. What is the Devils punishment? It is said, He shall be cast into the Lake of Fire and Brimstone. Rev. 20.10. and the very same is said concerning all Liars, that they shall have their part in the Lake that burns with Fire and Brimstone, which is the Second Death. Rev. 21.8.
