S. If you delight to do a duty so, that no man might know that you do it, and that when you be with others in holy Ordinances, you find you had rather be affected, and not seem to be so to others, than to seem to be affected, and not to be so before God, where is your Hypocrisy? Besides, if you do your duties from a right Principle, love to, and fear of God, in a right manner, viz humbly, believingly, fervently in the name of Christ, and for a right end, that you may glorify God, have Communion with him, be made more like unto him, that you may have more love to him, and more power and strength against your sin, you are sincere, and not an Hypocrite in your duties.

W. But sometimes I find a secret contentment ⟨p. 199⟩in my heart, that men take notice of the outward signs of inward affections, and that when the outward signs are more than my inward affections; is not that Hypocrisy?
