In-Text It being so ordinary a thing, for Devils to be transformed into Angels of light, and for the worst kind of vices to look like the greatest and fairest vertues, that the most talkative Professors of Christian Purity and Knowledge are seldom able to distinguish betwixt Hypocrisy, and Love; betwixt Attrition, and Contrition; worldly sorrow, and Repentance; betwixt Presumption, and lively Faith; betwixt Security, and Assurance; or a downright Stupidity, and Peace of Conscience; which shews the use and the necessity of bringing them all unto the Test, that so we may not be in danger to take them for more than they are worth; nor persevere in those Habits, of which we cannot too soon be stript. That we may not overgreedily catch hold on a Fish, which will prove in conclusion to be a Scorpion; nor please ourselves with an opinion of our great Love to Christ, which will be found after Death to have been but a great Dissimulation. By what hath hitherto been spoken.
