Christ's certain and sudden appearance to judgment. By Thomas Vincent, sometime Minister of Maudlins…

18. Come forth all ye Hypocrites, who have made a show of Holiness; and have born the name of zealous professors of Religion, but have been acted by carnal designs and prin▪ciples, who have used Religion as a Cloak for your Covetousness, who followed me only for the loaves, who have, been hollow at the heart, rotten at the Core, painted Sepulchres, blazing Comets, wandering and falling Stars, for whom the mist of darkness is reserved for over? what did you mean by your shows and outward appearance of Worship and Service? did you think that the All-seeing, ••eart• arching God judged according to outward appearance? •id you think that lip-service, and bodily exercise would be accepted by him, or was it acceptation only with men which you sought after? that reward you had, and can you […] any other reward, when you did not desire it, nor design it? and what doth it, can it now profit you, that […] accounted you religious? will their esteem of you […] pardon and Salvation for you? Could you be con••• cast away and lose all your external services for […] of sincerity, and an internal living principle? did not […] think that all your services would rise up one day in judg••• against you? did not you affront the highest Majesty […] the mockery of your show-worship? did not he very well understand which way your heart went, when you seemed […] devout? was not he acquainted with the secret lust which you harboured in your heart, and secret way of wickedness which you walked in, when you made a show of •••rti•ication, and self-denial, and a holy, and strict conversation? were you not warned against hypocrisy, and told […] ••odious it was to God, and that hypocrites portion would […] in utter darkness, where there is weeping and wailing, and gnashing to teeth? Take them Devils bind them hand and foot.
