Sincerity is of Universal importance to a Christian 'Tis the sauce which seasons Religion and makes it savoury. Sincerity is the Jewel that God is most delighted with, Psalm 51. 6. Behold thou desirest truth in the inward parts; and to speak plain, ⟨p. 2⟩all our pompous show of holiness without this soul of sincerity to enliven it, is but folly set forth in its embroidery, 'tis but going to hell in a more devout manner then others. The consideration of which, hath put me upon this subject in this place of solemn worship and concourse; and to quicken your attention, you have God himself calling to you to take notice, in these words, observa integrum, Mark the perfect man, and behold the upright, for the end of that man is peace.
